This could be really good...or really bad.
Im sure you can make it good though ;)

I'd also like to see more characters, but a maximum of 8 per game. (maybe like 14/15). Just so that you dont always start with the same people. Also (if possible) to not start with multiple characters in 1v1 games, that just ruins the map IMO. Ik this would take a LOT of room....but it would be pretty awesome.

I currently have a map in my behind-the-scene offices that uses this concept. The characters all start equally footed in their own little base, and conquer the same area. I'm glad someone else is thinking along these lines. I love Classic-style maps, but I'd like to see a lot more concept based ones :)

DiM, it's precisely for concepts like these that I'm glad to see ya back around the foundry.

Unfortunately, though, the size restriction has yet to be lifted... :(

I like this idea a lot, but I just don't see how it can be done with the size restriction the way it is...

3 digits total is fine...

But the army circle doen't have to cover the 3 - just that 3 digits aren't meant to clash.

i have found a graphic theme i want to do and it will look nice but the size is killing me. i just can't squeeze so many terits :(

can anybody tell me what the bare minimum size for army circles is?
i'm under the impression that while i was gone something changed. when i left you were required to fit 3 digits (88 plus letter for colourblind) but i saw in some threads that CAs requested 4 digits (888 plus letter for colourblind)
can i get some clarification on this one?

I'm not aware of any CAs asking for 4 digits, although I'm sure I've seen the comment you're referring to :-)

anyway, i have the following idea for terits, would this be suitable?

Image

each rectangle is a terit connected by lines to other terits. don't mind the grid it's just for guiding purposes. focus on the terit size. all i need to fit there is the army digits. will it be good enough?


Should be fine.

I like option B better, but you may need to do A just to have enough territories.

I love the graphics, but isn't the LOTR ring copyrighted?

You say that bonuses would vary depending which character you have. What happens when you have more than 1?

I prefer Option B, seems like it'll make the gameplay more interesting...

As far as the ring, well, it's 100% made by you, sure, but all you're doing is rewriting an existing concept. Plus everyone will assume it's a LOTR map. Why not try coming up with something more, I dunno, Dimish? :D

It's looking good, even though there isn't much there yet ;-)

My two thoughts are:

1. Will this fit onto the small map? I'm guessing you've thought of that already, but just wanted to make sure.
2. The q looks a bit like a j

Other than that, I'm looking forward to seeing this one develop ;-)
