Do you want a game that features castles like this, as a Nod To Castle Risk?

PRYDAIN MAP....disney movie "The Black Cauldron" b

Post by taranwandrer »

this map could be great...a lot more potential than the other maps i have seen lately.
it has 4 main castles or caer's....it could be like downtown montreal on the montreal map, where holding the individual land of a castle gives you a one army bonus....regardless of whether you control a whole colored territory.

also, rivers, ruined wall, and mountains will make good boundaries.
plus, you can include something i thought would be cool, like a loss of one army everytime you cross the big river, which would make the territory valuable to those holding it.

flashlegs and davestine....click on my feedback to find them, could help you along with me to build this map with info and the like.

please make it somebody.

great idea

that would be a sweet map. i've read the series a lot, so i'd be happy to help with ideas and whatnot, but my art skills are lacking, so that would have to be up to someone else!

good idea

It sounds like an awesome idea Taranwandrer. Your idea about losing an army if you pass through a river is perfect. There are way too many boring maps that LIMIT STRATEGY and make the whole game reliant on dice...i.e. I don't have a chance!

It sounds like an interesting map, so I am all for it. SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE IT!

as to copyright issues

Post by taranwandrer »

you can contact the people who run the lloydalexander books website to solve that problem.

and also middle earth and the other map from a fantasy book....discworld...must have gotten thru this hangup.

lloyd alexander recently died so im sure the family or corp that runs the books business should not have that much of a creative problem ok'n it..

if anyone decides to do this map, of course, contact them on the website and tell them of your intentions.

Would love to play on it. But its been a while since I've read the books so I wouldn't be much use in designing it. Good luck!
