Some Good Ideas

by **luckiekevin** on Thu Mar 15, 2007 8:48 pm

I'm posting my ideas in a different thread then the "Ideas free to a good home" strand because that one needs to be cleaned up and has turned into a lot of chat and not as many ideas.

Here some maps that I would love to see on here

I free handed the state borders and posted it up to try to inspire some good designers to run with it.

SEATTLE MAP

Like New York and San Francisco, Seattle is broken up into a handful of Burroughs/Districts. With the Puget Sound and Lake Union right in the middle of it, it makes for as good of a City Map as the San Francisco Map that is being worked on right now.

Seattle Burroughs

Capital Hill
Queen Anne
Fremont
Ballard
U-District
Belltown
Magnolia
Wallingford
West Seattle
Madrona
Green Lake
Montlake
Pioneer Square
Beacon hill
Mt. Baker
International District
SoDo (South Downtown)
Crown Hill
Shoreline
Interbay
Phinney Ridge
Loyal Heights
Ravenna

You can use the fairies and bridges to get to Bainbridge Island and Bremerton

MARCH MADNESS MAP

for all you basketball nuts. With the brackets and seeds, there has to be something that would make a logical map.

BRITISH EMPIRE MAP

"The sun never sets on the British Empire"
A map of the British Empire pre-WWII. It would be interesting to see a world map based upon conquering the pre-WWII British Empire.

If anyone is already working on these maps, you rock and sorry for not noticing. I wish I had some Graphic design skills but at least I have some good suggestions. At least I think I do

the british empire sounds great but i think it does not fit well for a map.

basicaly you have the map of the whole world but most of it has to be greyed out as unplayable.

the empire was very stretched and did not have any kind of connections

here's a map i hope you get my point.

Yeah I see your point. But what if it was a map like Disc World or 2.0 with a number of neutral countries and the objective is to occupy those that made up the British empire. You fight through the countries in between, and the size of the neutral countries are determined by their need to help the gameplay. It would sort of be like a multiple king of the hill.
