stargate

game - 18298
custom map-073
the other player placed an animal on hex X2-Y8
and only received 7 Pesos for one market connection
not 14 pesos for 2 market connections
this may be the only map with only one hex between 2 markets

it's a Variant 2 game -- I have not checked to see if
points were given for 2 market connections

any ideas or comments

I checked the game --scoring does reflect both market connections

the base question is about the MONEY not the scoring
I have not answered that question Smile

I noticed this as well. Since the rules don't cover this situation, I figure one interpretation is as good as the other. I don't see any reason to change the current implementation, although it might be nice to add a note to the rules section stating which interpretation is implemented in sbw.

I think you should get income for both markets
--- the animal placement does count as two market connections

similar situation --
the placement of an animal or land card at the intersection of multiple
water tiles also receives multiple credit for all the water tiles

if this is an easy code fix --- I say fix it
if it's a problem to fix -- then add a line to the rules to clarify the situation
and state income will only be given for a single market

I'd have gone with the other option. You are taking a herd to market to sell it. You can't sell the same herd twice, so you only get the money for one market.

This wasn't by design, so the way that it's currently working is just a by product of how it was coded.

I would think you should get the income for both markets.

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but it seems like a poor map design to have two markets so close that one animal can connect to both of them.

Fair enough. I'm just looking for an excuse not to mess with the code again. Smile
