We can't get too specific. (Naruto was tried in the past but copyright slaughtered it, and nobody liked it much anyway).

We could do a map based on Anime in general, but I don't know how that would work or how it could/should be done.

Why is this image so HUGE!!! I cant seem to get it smaller. Anyway. It is a Gaming map (Not done!) but I draw really bad.
We have a Halo part (blue), Nintendo part (green), Final Fantasy (yellow), and Ratched, Sly Cooper, and Jak (red).
Since i only use names from places i dont think it would break any trademarks or patents.

So what do you think? is anyone happy enough with it to work more with it? would anyone play it?

I guess you better make it a bit smaller so we can get a better overview of the map... I don't know what you mean with the terrs, but further it looks chaotic enough to pass through.

I think a football-field type map would be interesting, since football is, in a sense, basically all about conquering territories anyway.

Also a Hogwarts map would be pretty cool, especially if (and I have no idea if this would be possible--probably not) the boundaries and attack rules (but not, of course, the bonuses) would change (but only slightly--just enough to make things interesting--and following some sort of pattern) every round, to reflect the variable nature of the staircases, secret passageways, etc. in the books.

Coliseum
In the coliseum, there were rooms under the arena floor that could possibly be used as territorys, also all the seats would be used as wel. If the map would represent the coliseum the time in which it was used there could be a battle taking place and have a bonus for unite the gladiators, there could be a bonus for the emporer.
I will have a hand drawn map in a week or two, but i am no good with photoshop so if anyone is interested i would appreciate to have the help with graphics.

What about a Norse mythology theme, The nine worlds and Ygdrisil the world tree.
Just a thought.

Tic-Tac-Toe - 4 In a Row - In 3D!

This is a 4x4x4 map, 64 territory map. Bonus's are only if you can get 4 in a row.

I wrote the game up in Visual Basic a long time ago, and you can go to the site below to download & play it. No, it's NOT a virus, and doesn't even install. I was in highschool when I wrote it...so like 1997.

Hold Asia on Classic

Post by lackattack »

We've all played the Classic map a zillion times. But how often do you see someone get the 7 army bonus for Asia? Very rarely. I think it would make good gameplay if Asia was an objective on the Classic map.

I'm not suggesting we have a 2nd Classic map, though. I do suggest we either make or revamp an existing map with a similar balance and set the big continent as an objective.

Any takers?

I don't like the idea of 'revamping' gameplay on an existing map.

I do think that there should/could be an option of playing certain maps with objectives.

Eg: On Europe you would have the option of playing an objective game where holding Germany is the objective.

Or, like you said, on classic you have an Objective option that would make Asia the objective

You should have posted this in the Map Ideas Sticky at the top :P It would be interesting to see a large continent as an objective though. Maybe not as big as Asia, but as big as North America is good
