Greater Toronto

What about one for Toronto? This is my first newb post/proposal so please excuse me if I'm not following proper protocol.

Here's a link to a map of Toronto Riding elections (names are all on there). All we'd need to do is add the Public Transport.

Greater Toronto is Comprised of several burbs: Toronto proper (which can be broken down to: North York, East York, Beaches, Midtown, Etobicoke, Scarborough or into the individual ridings), Mississauga, Brampton, Richmond Hill, Markham, Pickering, Oshawa

Regions would be:

Brampton +3: West, Springdale, Bramalea, South
Mississauga +2: Erindale, South, Cooksville
Etobicoke +3: Lakeshore, Centre, North
North York +4: York West, York Centre, Willowdale, Thornhill
Toronto +7: Weston, Parkdale-Highpark, Trinity-Spadina, Centre, Danforth, Beaches, Eglington-Lawrence, Don Valley East, Don Valley West
Scarborough +5: Southwest, Centre, Agincourt, Rouge River, Guildwood, East
York Region +3: Vaughn, Oakridges, Aurora, Richmondhill, Markham
Durham Region +1: Ajax-Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa

Own any 3 of the city halls will earn an extra +1. Own all the city halls = +3

here's another map that gives the regional concept: http://www.region.durham.on.ca/default. ... Footer.inc

If I ever attempt a map, this would be the one I would start with.

It's more a good idea for a map than a properly working draft.
The Ideas Subforum is more appropriate for the time being.

Drafting Room Guidelines

To be considered a Working Draft a project must be more than just an idea; a Draft should have a clear thematic focus, a plan for how the gameplay will work, and a basic image which should include:
1. Territory Labels - temporary names or numbers will suffice, and are always open to change.
2. Borders/Paths/Impassables - it should be made clear where territories do/do not connect.
3. Bonus Areas - where combinations/groups of territories will award a bonus, this should be indicated on the map.
4. Legend - speculative bonus values and explanations of any attack rules or gameplay features.
Draft images should not be larger than 630x600px (small image) or 840x800px (large image).

Here's another diagram. http://www3.thestar.com/static/googlema ... ntario.xml

I'll take a shot and see what I can do myself as well.

This is my first attempt at a rough map.

Keep in mind this idea was abandoned not too long ago.

If you're going to call it the GTA, it needs to be geographically true - that includes all regions and municipalities; not just election ridings.

I would be nice to see a map of the GTA especially since it has a population of about 5 million. To make it interesting you could include the various expressways (401 & 400 & 404 & 427 & Don Valley). However to make it realistic a player would have to lose armies by holding Toronto since the property taxes are higher and mayor Miller likes to tax and spend

Anyone playing the map would want to leave Toronto for the burbs.
