Global War V1 (first draft)

Postby zndow on Sat Oct 03, 2009 1:57 am

Hi everyone,

I am totally new to this and hope I can interest players with this kind of map. If the interest is there I will gladly develop the project.

This is my map idea I created. It is very rough at first just to show the big picture. Green give you a good idea what it may look like when colors will be properly done.


Image

I try to create something new beside continents and territory fights.
It would have no bonuses for x owned territories and no continent bonuses.

Playability
Different developments approach offering many strategies.
Can be played with 2-8 players free for all or teams and can use most of the other options setting.

I am looking forward for your comments.

Best regard,
Major zndow

I appreciate the work you've put into a first draft, but you're going to need a lot of improvement to move it forward. I'll keep it general for this run as most of the more specific comments I could make will likely get addressed.

Gameplay
I can't make heads or tails of it. The abbreviations, overall layout, and instructions do not lend themselves to understanding. Perhaps scaling down the number of territories in favor of being able to explain the rules more visually would help.

Graphics
Bland. Lots of solid colors, studies in rectangular geometry, and a distorted and barely-appropriate background image don't live up to the standard. I'm sure you can improve on these, so please look at other maps for ideas for how to make it look shnazzier and more evocative of the concept of Global War.

Best of luck on the next version, I'm sure it'll be an improvement.

Thank you,

As I said it is a rough design just to show my Idea.

I will cut down to 6 cities to start in order to have a chance to make it clear and will post a v2 with a clear explanation of how the game involve the way I see it.

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. ;-)

Shame, this is a pretty mindblowing map, if it could ever be wrangled into shape.
