Hey there! I was working on a concept for the map contest using the new xml feature, but my graphics associate, Spike, has been busy with many graphic design-y things including my Pachisi map, so I figure I'd just post my graphics-starved map here (Version 1.1):
Click image to enlarge.
Hopefully everything is pretty self-explanatory. Comments are greatly appreciated!
i think I would move up to the first fork in the road and never move. ever. until 90% of everyone else moves first.
edit- the only way this may work man, is if towns and cities give CRAZY bonuses... otherwise good players are not going to leave home.
Think about it... #1 rule of CC is You CANNOT win a match if you are already ELIMINATED.

How about +3 per town and auto-deploy 6 for cities?

Alright, fixed the bonuses. Any other comments? (Remember, the graphics will improve later...)

this reminds me of a famous linux game about power man... I forget the name. Ill post it when I think of it. but a bonus structure based upon percent of power grid owned... with high rewards might be epic.

DOn't worry about anything graphical, it will probably all be changed soon enough. I just need concept and gameplay comments. But thanks, anyway.

Could you elaborate on this idea? Sounds neat.

Oh ok. Well I agree with army of nobunaga, nobody will have a motivation to leave their home spot. I personally thing there should be other territories that don't have anything special to them, but that's just me.

Kind of. I still want to do it, but I'm still waiting on bunga (army of nobunaga) to post his gameplay idea:

oh... well it is a linux game... the idea is basically make the rewards high enough to draw folk out.
off of a % of electric grid owned.
a bugger to xml likely but after looking at research and conquer it should be feasible. Ill get the link to the game. sorry I forgot.. but not sure if it will help much.
