War in the Pacific

Post by Burning Star IV »

War in the Pacific

I think a cool map would be a Pacific Ocean Map, similar to that of the WWII battles, such as Battle for the Coral Sea or the Battle of Midway (of course I mean a map that is the Pacific ocean... not a different map for each battle).

Battle of the Bulge Map

Post by Burning Star IV »

Battle of the Bulge

I just thought of a really cool idea... how about a map for the Battle of the Bulge, or other similarly famous war battles like the Battle of Bunker Hill, D-Day, etc.

I think you need more territories. 0 while divisible by 3, 4, 5, and 6 does not provide each player with enough territories to start. Additionally, 0 territories does not lead me to believe you'll have enough continents for good gameplay

You also have a problem with graphics. I can't see any attack routes and I'm sure others when they start a game will have this problem too. The white lettering on top of the white background doesn't allow you to see names of the territories. I'd like to see some more distinguishing marks so we can tell neutral from playable area.

good luck!

well I think that this has potential but it is going to require a lot of work.

I will be happy to help with bonuses and such if you do the XML stuff

MANY NEW IDEAS

Post by Paintballer »

some of these may have already been suggested and/or in the making, i have not looked.

I have my book "50 battles that changed the world" and here are a few ideas i got from it.

The battle of Waterloo - Napolean, English, Prussians

Tenochtitlan - Spain and Aztecs

The Alamo - Mexicans and Texans

Bunker Hill - English and "Americans" ( i dont remember if they declared themselves independant by then)

The battle of Stalingrad - Nazis and russians

The Knights of ST. Johns last stand on Malta - the Turks were sieging there last base on Malta

Well, those are some of my ideas i got from my awesome book

Are people really that lazy? or ignorant? How hard is it to check your spelling and typing??????

If you want to have a conversation, shouldn't you be polite enough to talk correctly?

DONT POST IF YOU CANT CHECK YOUR SPELLING!


theres people all over the world on this site some people have better english than other. As long as you understand whats being said thats all that matters.

And if your going to tell people not to post if they cant spell your as well not maknig a map.

Needs to be a trailer park with outdoor couches and the like. Call it spousal abuse. Or not, if you can't take a rather offensive joke, which is what I think this idea is.

I dont know what holy war you mean but if it´s the first crusade then please don´t.. bloody disgrace that one.

The pope himself said many of those crusaders acted like dogs..but I think that´s an insult against dogs.. They didn´t have any money so they attacked the ones they were supposed to help - Byzantine empire
