Opinions wanted for Brazil map - 3rd continent done.

Post by Marvaddin »

Thanks to risk_06.
Putting images of first continent:

This is Southeast, as I had first imagined it:

This is "Central Axis" (Eixo Central) as I designed for a gigantic continent like Asia or China:

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f44/M ... /eixo2.jpg

This is Northeast (Nordeste), second continent; Its for the alike other maps option:

This is 3rd continent, "Mato Grosso". I have decided make the map more alike the others first, and later, a version more balanced, too. You will can choose which version will be avaliable to play.

Again, country dispersion for balanced version is sort of:

7 - 8 - 7
- 6 - 8
- - 5

Dispersion of the 45 countries, in the more traditional map:

8 - 9 - 6
- 5 - 12
- - 5

Obs: I would like very much some feedback about the already done continents, please.

Obs 2: brasileiros do Conquer Club, dêem umas opiniões pra me ajudar, ou me ajudem com a parte artística; depois não quero ninguém reclamando que não gostou do meu trabalho ;o)


Always words:
Ohh, I will need help with artistic part, too. I will need cool backgrounds, and someone that can write countries names, and reduce the images properly. I dont have good editor tools, and Im using Paint!!!! :cry:

I wouldn't have it, so very balanced, differences add variety to the game, though I have always been of the opinion that holding oceania at the start is a pretty cheap (though sucessful and used) tactic.

usually, you need 42 countries for a risk map. Thats what the original risk board has, I'm guessing its cause you can divide it by nice numbers, or cause its just the answer to everything. As you might have seen, i'm working on a map too. You'll see its quite hard, but I really encourage you to do so. If this site can have all those unique maps it would be really neat. You should try to get something like photoshop, or some other program where you can work with layers, makes it much easier. And if you know someone who has a tablet pen for computer, makes it muuuuuuch easier. Well anyway, go ahead, post some drafts you have and get people to discuss it! Should work great!

Why would there be a brazil map?

A south American map would make much more sense in terms of sheer scale and playability because of the mountains of chile and what not :)

Yes?? And why would there be a USA map? Or a Canada map? Or even an Asia map? Why dont we play in classic map forever??

More maps, more possibilities, no? Why dont you think a Brazil map could be cool? A North American map would make much more sense than an USA, too. And a world map, much more sense. Play only classic map.

Not sure, but Im realizing a bad feeling about Brazil here... maybe because is a poor country. It doesnt matter for me. Lack approved the idea and if some of you never play it, its ok. I dont understood the critics before I finish it, or even put it in discussion.

Instead of disencourage other people, I will encourage: why dont you make the South America map?

Edit: these words are to darkfire, not to you, oman. And know Im doing my best to be a good map. See the images... thats not confusing to me; and to you?

iiiieeeee!!!! VAI BRAZIL!!!! I think there should be a Carnival map, like of rio, salvador, olinda, etc. that would be fun and have the samba school duel each other, hahahaha. Yea so anyway Carnival this year was awsome in both Salvador (dancing in blocos) and in Rio for the Parade of Champions!!! Lagoa Azul! Beja-flor! Yea... so kinda random but my point is that dont diss the Brazil map, cause Brazil is awsome!
