I really want to play on this because I can't get the board, I would still have no one to play with, and I am a master of Tolkien lore.
Maybe a Beleriand addition or different board with Arda on it, and those in Arda can come to Middle-Earth, but not going in the other direction.

would the middle earth map count?

Sorry :oops: just saw that. It would still be cool to have a map of Valinor, Beleriand, and Numenor. In essence, Silmarillion board. I just think this would be cool, since it really isn't remembered. Or, if it was a super board, it could combine the existing Middle Earth Board with the rest of "True" Middle Earth.

The mountains on the far right of Beleriand (1st map) correspoond with the mountains on to the west of Eriador. Valinor would be across the Great Sea, Numenor in the middle, and a passsage at the very top of the GS.

I think it'd be better just to have a map of Beleriand...

How about the Battle of Berlin! Instead of territorys you capture city blocks and parks.But it comes with a twist one player starts with 20 men in Hitlers bunker in the middle of city and all other players who are all allied start with 2 men on the edges of the city.

I am considering making a space race map where the aim is to be able to colonise other planets in 3 steps. When you complete the first part of the map you continue on to the next. When you complete that you move on to the next and finally you win.

XML you would need to have triggers. So if X,Y and Z was owned the border Z-A opens.

Regardless of the shape of the territories you must ID the coordinates for each place that an army goes. There is a tool in the foundry that helps with this.

The coordinates tell conquerclub where to draw the army numbers on the maps.
It doesn't care what shape the picture looks like, you could have a blank screen, doesn't matter. Coordinates tell conqerclub where to put the army numbers when it creates the page.
