Has anyone noticed the updates. The X which makes it easier to tell what has been defeated. Also it now tells you what is effective and what is not. Awesome job Mint I like your updates.

I dunno - to me it just looks like it says effective for every tile your monster's pattern would change.

I concur with lymfada, great updates! Now I won't have to constantly worry about where to set my leader on the grid for optimum tile capture.
...And I won't have to worry as much about being surprise-shadow-dartsed by any more enemy defeated unscurs. 
EDIT: OK, maybe I still have to be careful about where I put my leader.

About the leader placement: the battle script and leader placement (which is technically attached to the map script) are supposed to source a common JavaScript to do the elemental laydown. There is just some problems synching them up.
I have known that I was going to add this new X-over feature for a while now, and I did not want to add a script for it (the current JScript is actually printed right onto the page instead of being sourced from a remote file) because then, any change wouldn't take until a cache refresh on a local machine! Adding it like this to the map would create a big problem should anything change.
Now that it is all changed and prolly won't for a while, I can get on putting them into a shared resource.
And now, let us hope it works right. It is a minute before midnight, and I dinnae wanna work on TSC code for a long time

One thing I noticed: I was going to deploy a troop, and one tile of its pattern was a wind tile that was supposed to be effective over a neutral psychic field tile. However, when I preview it, it seems like wind is ineffective against psychic, because the tile didn't change.
Sorry for the extra work, but I thought this should be pointed out.

That is because the effective/ineffective refers to elements only. The same rules still apply.
Lemme guess: it was an Enemy's Psychic tile? You still have to kill enemies in order to take over their spots; otherwise, although the attack may be effective, you still won't get it 'cause the foe is still alive!
Same thing applies to ineffective-seeming tiles taking over a spot due to being more effective against the tile underneath the visible one.

Never mind, I figured it out. No, it wasn't held by an enemy; it was a neutral tile. I think it was Shadow Bane's effects; I was also going to defeat an enemy Dok.
