That would result in a high probability of first round elimination for six player games, which would be against the Foundry Rules. That and the people voted for 72 territories rather than 18 or "Other".

I don't quite follow you... Do you mean that rather than having four lines make up the X, you want a whole, unbroken, solid --as you put it-- X?

mibi, I want to do the nine terit map, believe me. I mean, imagine how easy my job would be? It would be quenched like that! *snaps fingers* The XML would take fifteen minutes at most, it would be a breeze! But I just can't man... I just can't...

You're right, sorry :oops: I've been down with a fever for the past couple days, and not quite right in my head... Less so than usual, that is.

ya i had a fever the last two days, totally sux

cant wait to see what this turns out to be! maybe you could make some bigger 4v4's, 5x5's, and some 3v3's, and 2x2's and each set can be a bonus, would be cool like a black board with a bunch of tic tac toe games on it! but you probably just want to keep it with the one you got on first page

thats exactly what i was thinking, make a black board and use good old white chalk to make the games and then just put up random X's and O's while each little game can be a continent lol, would be cool!

well maybe you shouldn't try to fit a square peg into a round hole.

How are you going to fit 72 territories on a 3x3 grid?

check the first post he has one that shows like 12 territories or something inside each square

i personally think he should make a bunch of tic tac toe games on the board and connect them making each one a bonus (for the heck of it he could have 4x4's and stuff)

I took that off. All I have on it now is the one that I just posted, up there, and the original.

Basically, each line will be a territory. I don't have any army circles on it yet, so I can't show you that, but when I do it will be easier to see. And it's 8, not twelve. Learn your math ;)

That completely changes the game though... Makes it more of a traditional map, like Space, Crossword or Chinese Checkers...
