Thanks Natty. Prompt and to the point as ever. Much appreciated.

Hi folks! I'm not sure if this thread is dead but I'll write in anyway.

I'm considering a return to CC very soon, and have just been browsing the maps to see what's been happening for the last year. This map looked interesting, but at first glance, I was not sure if NA1 and AT3 are allowed to ...

Interesting.

Special thanks to Doc Brown for clarifying the legal system in the USA.

I must admit, I was not certain of the legal system there, and based my argument on the British legal system, in the expectation that it was similar.

I must express incredulity that such a system is allowed to ...

Thankyou very much Natty.

Yes Natty: I very much appreciate that.

However, these fears are largely unfounded. Conquer Club is very much a reality and Hasbro have been unable to do anything about it for the very reasons I have presented. Indeed, any lawyer worth his salt would advise them of the simple legal position: that ...

Thankyou for such a quick response Natty. -I am impressed. And I appreciate the concerns over copyright.

I also understand copyright laws reasonably well.

Obviously a map of the world is not a problem, so we can therefore remove that from any meaningful discussion. Furthermore, actual coastlines ...

What a gigantic improvement over "Classic Shapes" and "Classic Art" this is! (Both of which were very poor imitations of the world!).

Whilst not wishing to get into the politics of the difficulties Conquer Club had with the original manufacturers of 'Risk', CC seems the ONLY site that found using a ...

I'd be very interested in getting a few useful tips from some of the 'professionals' around here. I don't get to play a lot and tend to stick to clear, geographic maps with relatively simple themes. I am sure there are general principles which apply to most games but although I've had some success ...

Hehe. Nice one!

I hope someone grants your request. If what you say is genuinely true, I am very sorry to hear that you are in such a predicament.

Although I am not homeless, unfortunately I am in no position to help.

Isn't this a great site though? -I only discovered it very recently and I think ...

Trying to make an acceptable map of this area is a courageous task! There is such passion about how borders should be drawn that if you manage to get agreement, you should become a politician! -Good luck!

There is a gradual improvement and clearly you are putting a lot of time and effort into this. However, I must agree with 'whitestazn88' that the legend is now too dominant.

I wonder if this was an attempt to cover the background image of Italy? -What I was saying about Italy before still applies ...

Yes sailorseal, 'randomness' is a difficult thing to accept sometimes!

Herakilla: If it is written as a user-script for Greasemonkey, it would only add loading time to those who'd decided to add it. Anyone who'd prefer to do without would not be affected at all.

Therefore, I say "let's have it as a choice, not to be forced upon anyone."

Dear 'king sam'. -Firstly, thankyou for your unbiased response to sailorseal.

I am very new to this fantastic site and have very much enjoyed meeting with various established members through the on-line chat and various forums.

I do not know if you are a moderator but to come across such a ...

Sailorseal: I wasn't spamming you, I was answering your question. If you don't like getting an answer don't ask a question.

And if you understand Greasemonkey, you'll know that your comment was irrelevant.

P.S. I wasn't (and am still not) being rude.

Sailorseal I notice you edited your post above ...

To sailorseal:

Yes, I can give an argument for sound.

If it is an add on you would not get it unless you wanted it. And I for one, would like it! -For people like you who do not want it, it would make NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!

Now can you give me an argument why it should not be an option?

(Before ...

I take it all back! Haha... The randomness has bitten me again, and badly!

No doubt we all have similar stories but for those of you who think the dice are against you, beat this if you can:

33 attackers against 5 defenders. No contest I hear you say.
-Think again! The outcome has me left with 2 ...

Having posted this under 'General', it has been suggested that this topic should be listed under 'Suggs and Bugs'. For those who've already seen this, please forgive me.

I am very new to this wonderful thing called Conquer Club. I am also very impressed with the level of thoroughness of the whole ...

Yes, that's a good idea.

There can be no better example of that thinking than Conquer Club itself, which sits somewhere in the complexity of on line gaming of this immense world wide web. Conquer Club; a relative jungle of variations of its great but comparatively simple ancestor: Risk. Risk is ...

Qwert looks like a great friend to have for these things!

Thanks!

I like your idea.

In my opinion further complication would make it less appealing to many people, perhaps myself included! If your maps require extensive explanation, that could put people off.

An important philosophy of mathematics is that the most beautiful ideas are often the simplest.

Reconsidering the Crete issue:

Of course Crete's geographical importance is more valid if European Turkey is included.

Your update is a great improvement and I now understand the thing about Italy. But if Italy is not part of the game, does it need to be there at all? Why not simply remove it?

You ask about Crete being left in or not. I think it should stay because of it's strategical importance as borne out by ...

Owenshooter: What I am proposing is that it be written as a Greasemonkey script.

Just like 'BOB' etc., people could have the choice. That's what's so great about Conquer Club! -Choice! Look at how many different maps we can choose. Look at how versatile the play options are. These are great choices ...
