Conquer Club

I am interested in seeing more maps with the normal continents. World 2.0, High Seas, & Extreme Global Warming are all nice but I suspect I can contribute another variation. I know that world + classic gameplay is verboten in perpetuity. In an effort to skirt this requirement, this map will solely focus on coastal areas and their ocean connections. I made an abstract design so you can see the gameplay. I will make normal territories later.



There are currently five regions.
The Pacific rim 9 territories
The Atlantic rim 8 territories
The Mediterranean 4 territories
The Indian rim 6 territories
Antarctica 5 territories
I also included four disputed territories that do not belong to any region. I am inclined to award troops for holding 3 or 4.

I have not decided the drop for each region yet. In all there are 36 territories. Each territory has the number of connections in bold. The ocean paths that cross are skew: they do not connect.

I would greatly appreciate links to forum threads that treat gameplay. I found "what makes a good strategy map" http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=127&t=69162, but it is rather short. I shall continue to work my way backward through the archives.

I intend to take the map to conclusion this year. However, I recognize that I am using inefficient materials. I created the continent outlines using Adobe Flash version 5. I know that the Foundry standard is photoshop. I haven't the luxury of buying the program. My aged Flash should suffice though. I can use layers, effects, and so on.

I like this idea, but maybe you should now think graphics

Perhaps you'd be interested in edbeard's Land and Sea Map? viewtopic.php?f=10&t=55709

I would very much like to play on Land & Sea. However, it offers different gameplay. This will be a small map and the oceans are not territories. I did the colors below with ms paint because it is late. I will make it in Flash later.
