Maybe if you had a play in it, with players in it. ie. Quarter back may one way attack the receiver, who is also attacked by the defense, however, the quarterback has a large auto deploy, in which he can attack the neutral receiver, who can run down the yards (killer ns) and if you hold the endzone, you win. Of course you have somebody labelled as the interceptor, in which he can skip towards the other endzone if he chooses to, but it is much farther away... This would give the feeling of breaking through, which is what football Is all about...

And obviously you'd have the stands and refs and stuff.

[Moved]

This map has been moved into the Ideas subforum, as it does not meet the criteria for a Working Draft (underlined text):

Drafting Room Guidelines

To be considered a Working Draft a project must be more than just an idea; a Draft should have a clear thematic focus, a plan for how the gameplay will work, and a basic image which should include:
    1. Territory Labels - temporary names or numbers will suffice, and are always open to change.
    2. Borders/Paths/Impassables - it should be made clear where territories do/do not connect.
    3. Bonus Areas - where combinations/groups of territories will award a bonus, this should be indicated on the map.
    4. Legend - speculative bonus values and explanations of any attack rules or gameplay features.
Draft images should not be larger than 630x600px (small image) or 840x800px (large image).

Some quick suggestions/critics for you:

Gameplay
Agree witn Sincthassasin.
Now it's very hard to understand that we're talking about football...
Football is a game with many people involved, on your map a green square can attack another one.....sorry, but this is not football :?
Try to add circles for armies, one for each position in the real game, maybe adding refree or coach...(just random ideas :) )
Read sincthassasin's post. ;)
Again, it's no clear what attack what. All greens attack sidelines?
Scoreboard can attack a territory or could be only attacked?


Graphics
Graphics need a lot of work and maybe you have to spend more time working on it.
Maybe these images could help you to understand what people want to see if we are talking about football:

Anyway,
These are my concerns about graphics:
Why the left end zone is smaller than the right one?
Why there aren't the white yards lines?
Legend: Everything is randomly placed and oversized.
Scoreboard: everything randomly placed.
Why the numbers on the field are not aligned?
What software do you use?

I think that you're trying to develope a map based on a good idea, but you have to refine your idea first and then draw it.
I'm sorry for my critics (made solely to improve the map ;) ).
I hope you will continue to work on this excellent idea, dedicating to each update the time it deserves.
Go on! ;)

hmm, im still not sure what the order of the computer is, for stuff like bonuses vs. killer neutrals...

if on your turn, you got the bonus before the killers kicked in, we could do a +6 bonus for holding the endzone...

if the killer neutrals come in first, then really they shouldent be there in the first place ;)

maybe if the touchdown zone could attack an imaginary territ called the "goalpost" in which they will get an extra troop for holding...

again, this all depends on when the killers kick in :?

what exactly makes is retarded???

The foundry is definatly not for flaming, so shut your trap before you get in trouble, kid! :roll:

I actually like the idea. I wish somebody would pick it up and develop it

Post reported. The foundry ain't a flaming place kid. I might try a crack at it again maybe offense and defense or something.

You could have a free safety and Middle Linebacker that can attack the offense-one way. Or the safety can attack anywhere inside their own 20 yards to end-zone. The receiver and RB as well as linemen can attack down field one way or diagonal. (similar to circus maximums)

Bonuses would be:
Offensive line
Defensive line
Secondary
Linebackers
Wide Receivers
Running backs w/ QB
Redzones

+1 auto deploy on the 50 and 20 yard lines or maybe the middle linebacker or Safety.

You could also make 3 terriories across the filed every 10 pr 20 yards. Right, Center and Left.

This is an awesome idea. If I had any graphic skills I'd make an image to post!
