I'd love to see a noman's land map that is basicaly a massive undivided noman's land with a few surrounding continents. The point being that people would eventualy settle in to the surronding continents and have to fight for the middle. I don't mean like chinese checkers because that's too open

Could someone make some real maps again? PLEASE!

I think a lot of us are really getting tired of the really abstract maps (granted I'm not helping much with the one I'm working on) all over the place. We could really use a South America or a Russia map, without all the crazy weird rules like heliports or capital cities. Just something Classic risk quality with a new board.

I've been brainstorming one for quite some time. Haven't started making it, but it's a typical map on a different scale. :wink:

Might post something soon.

S. America would be cool if it was a map of European conquerers (Spain/Portugal) and the various indigenous tribes populating the continent at some point during the 18th century

make some continents like a couple on the keyboard one on the moniter one on the mouse and if you make the tower or base (main comp. part) nearby put some on that too

you can divide the key board inbetween the alphabetic part and the arrow keys to make two continents

you can divide the mouse into countries on the mouse pad or just on the mouse like by the left and right buttons the ceneter rolly thing and the main part that is in your palm

and my final idea is to put the classic map on the comp screen and make the continents countries insted because that would be a big map

you can probably think of extra pieces like a camera or mike or nearby fan or something that you can add

I know this is probably hard to make but that is my fantasy map and i would like to see someone take on the challange

I'm sure this has probably been mentioned at some point, but it would be cool to have some type of monopoly map...

I guess you'd have to have some type of middle ground, possibly free parking, chance, community chest, and jail moved to the middle or something that connects lots of countries.

Not sure how exactly this would look, but thought it seemed like an interesting idea after seeing the chinese checkers board.

How about a map of Westeros from "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R. R. Martin.
Lots of possibilities for that idea. Here is a link to some colored maps already put together. thegraveyard.org/daelstorm/other.php

I was thinking about this a lot recently.

I think the main problem would be that it's quite thin and quite long. I'm not really sure how you'd go about fitting it into the allotted space without simplifying it far far too much.

Obviously there's copyright issues as well.

I do think the shape would be amazing to play as a map and places such as The Twins would take on the strategic importance that they have in the books.

I do think the main problem is the size of the thing, for it to have appeal to me as a fan it would have to have a level of detail that I think would be impossible to achieve in the space.
