so here's my idea:
Starting information:
Based on 2000 Census:
all of the states with 3 electoral votes=8
all of the states with 4 electoral votes=5
all of the states with 5 electoral votes=4
so all players start with one state with 3 votes and in games with 4 players or less, they will get two 3 votes, one 4 vote, and one 5 vote.
All other states start with there respective delagates as neutral so California would give you a bonus of 55 but you would have to conquer a stack of 55 to get it.
Attacking/Defending:
attacking would be very simple any state that touches part of another can attack it even at the 4 corners they can all attack each other
Maybe also, strongholds for each party could give the defending roll a plus 1 when owned by a player (not neutral) for example New York of Texas.
Ways to win:
besides conquering the other player another way to win could be like in the real election have over 270 votes which woul translate into having enough states to amass a bonus of over 270
Other ideas:
even more advanced things can be added such as swing states lose 5 troops a turn or that u can (like Eastern Hemisphere map in the naval superiority) from a strong hold conquer something like a tv add and from there bombard outwards any state
THANX and please respond and offer your ideas
