Has some similarities to the London post code map simply in its sheer size and strange naming system. I think it might be interesting to play but woulkd require lots of people....

It would require a hell of a lot of work to make it playable. But making something playble doesn't necessarily make the map popular. I am not sure this would be as fun to conquer a seemingly random map.

Wow. Big. I think it might be too big for me. I'd probably be more likely to play if some of the little countries could be consolidated so there weren't quite so many overall, but since I'm not familiar with the source material, so I don't know if that'd be inappropriate. Will there be names for the individual territories or the continents?

There isn''t really any source material... He just kinda made the whole thing up off the top of his head.

Some of it looks kind of linear. not very intersting. But if all these little maps were combined into a huge map, encompassing all the countries in the world! thats that i'm talking about, haha, maybe one day my dreams will come true...one day...

I would play something like that, but that map looks confusing and it may not be well planed out. A huge map would be good and funn but at the same time a strat is needed, not just something based (mostly) on luck of the dice and better looking.

No, man...

Again, I would hate take a 2K, or a 3B... zero appeal.

But I (or someone else) can redesign the world map to 120 countries... it could be good... although 13 armies as first deployments in a game with 3 players could give a real advantage to the first player... Anyone interested?

The 'Massive World Map' sounds interesting---but the map posted above does not at all. It looks as if someone just spilt their dinner all over, and you sectioned of parts and named them with numbers and letters. Sounds wonderful doesn't it?

And 13 armies to start a deployment does sound like quite a lot, and in a game with a lot of players...easily one of the last players in a sequential game (or the last to take their turn in a free style) could nearly be eliminated before the first round was over if the domino effect comes into play (I.E. 'A' attacking 'X', then 'B' attacking 'X', then 'C'...'D'...etc)
