Conquer Club

I just got photoshop again, because my old computer broke, so I am thinking of making a map.

Concept: A village divided into some 24 or so territories in the center of the map, all other territories start neutral. There would only be 4 territories (1 on each side) that border a territory on the outside. The village has no bonuses inside it whatsoever, however the territories around have large bonuses. The bonuses outside the village would generally be 1-3 territories in size, but give large bonuses.

I think it would be a very unique gameplay style: everyone starts in the middle, but it you want to earn troops, you have to spread out to the corners. With there being only 4 exits from the village, games with 6-8 people in them would be very tricky to play seeing as not everyone can get out.

But before I start making the map, I would like some feedback on the concept as to major gameplay problems that might occur from this if any.

A little bit like this?

Also, if you have a layout in mind, without any graphics, that would greatly help. I sort of get what you are saying, but spesifics could be worked out better with something to go off of.

Good observation, had forgotten about that map.

Yes, very similar to that, basically the same concept. I thinks its worth a second shot.
