Trip around the world

[unmerged(1995)]

In the boardgame, the first and second countries which succeed in making a full trip around the world (starting from a European port and coming back to that same port with no stop) got a good share of victory points. Is this feature implemented in the computer game ?

I succeeded at last in making that trip and got no points, although it is perfectly possible that computer controlled countries already did this.

I am not aware of any bonus such as this, nor have I seen any mission that is close to this. My guess is that this is a feature that did not make it in the transition from board game to computer game.

That's a pity! Maybe it can be added in a future update?

Maybe. Seeing u get VP points for being the first to discover all sorts of things it doesn't sound unfeasible to me that u also get VPs for this.

I did the same thing in one of my first games, but sadly there are no points for circum navigating =(

Anyway, there are extra VPs for a few things though (I'll add the list to my FAQ when I have all the VP's for them)


Special extra VP for beeing the first to discover:

america = 50 VP
asia = 25 VP
quebec =
greatlake = 10 VP
capehorn =
goodhope =
hudsonbay =
alaska =
panama =
inlandchina = 20 VP
amazones = 10 VP
northam =
india =
kamtchatska = 10 VP
california = 10 VP
pacific =
australia = 10 VP

establishments
colonyamerica =
colonyafrica =
colonysiberia =
colonyoceania =
tpindia =
tpchina =
tpjapan =

Great Lakes is 10. Amazone 10 too.

I think I got 10 or 20 VPs for discovering Alaska last night.

 

[Wycliffe]

Quebec = 20 points

 

[khurjan]

i got 20 points for panama

Does the difficult setting have something to do with the number of VPs you get? I am pretty sure I only got 5 points for Australia...

Ptah, who needs Australia anyway ?

I think it might change with difficulty but also with countries. I am not sure the same discovery will bring the same VPs to all countries...

Well, there definitely are some discrepancies otherwise. Earlier today I discovered Alaska, Panama for 5 points and the Great Lakes, the Amazon, California and Cape Horn for 10.
