French-Indian War new map

Postby captainwalrus on Wed Oct 29, 2008 6:53 pm

I had this idea when I was looking at the Revolutionary War idea.
It will have indian tribes, british colonies British ships, and French Forts. Each territory is based on an actual fort, tribe or colony during the war. The Native Amreican tribes and the British Colonies be normal territories (risk style) and then having the French forts are connected by paths. I havent though about bonuses yet but they wouldn't be to hard to make.
Here is a lose drawing I did in MS Paint and publisher with a 13 colonies map and some clip art. It looks akward because the tarritories aren't very straight but that will change later.
I changed some more stuff. The indian tribes have bbeen split up a bit and each will be like a 2 or 3 bonus. Also I added France and Britain and French ships.

I like that newer map although you are going to have to make it a little less shaky. I like the consept of the forts being inside other territories, it is like the NY map with the subways. Also, in one corner you should have an inset map of britain anf france which can attack each other. You could have brittain attack british ships and france attack french ships.

And please don't use teepees... They were not used in the Northeast.

If you are attempting a recreation map, please be accurate.

I know but I just wanted to get the Idea out there. In the end there will hopefully a picture behind the N.A. territories like I did for the colonies. I just got the tent from clip art and was the only real thing that I could find.
On a different note, if you have any expertise on the subject I would appreciate help because it is hard to find the location of the tribes during that time. The Europeans moved the Natives off their land so many times it is hard to find accurate maps.
Hopefully by next week I will be able to make it more accurate because we are learning about the French Indian war in history :)
And Mr president, I'm working on a third version that has Europe.

all the indian territories are too big. For a bonus you would have to fortify all of the territories. It would be impossible to hold.
