Classic Map with added options

premio53 · Post by **premio53** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 10:53 am

Has anyone considered making a classic map with the added options found on the Risk II PC program? The six added territories should be a welcome addition to the smaller classic map. I believe it would be hugely popular.

The newly added territories are:

1. Oikiqtaluk

2. Svalbard

3. Hawaii

4. Falkland Islands

5. New Zealand

6. Philippines

Could you tell us where these places would go on the map? Because I've never heard of Oikiqtaluk.

It would seem that Oikiqtaluk is a name that somebody came up with for part of Greenland... we might run into copyright problems if we used it. But the idea of taking the Classic map and adding just a few territories might fly - it would certainly serve to accomodate 7 and 8 player games. The question is how much support would there be for another world map.

In the future ideas for maps that are not accompanied with an actual map of your creation should be included in the map ideas thread.

Okikiqtaluk is a territory created between Northwest Territory and Greenland.

Svalard is the territory you find just above Scandinavia and is connected to Scandinavia and Greenland. It can be attacked from Greenland and Scandinavia. It is part of the European continent.

Hawaii is found west of Western United States and can be attacked from Western United States and Japan. It is part of the North American continent.

Philippines is located between Japan and Indonesia and can between attacked from Japan and Indonesia. It is part of the Australian or Oceania territory.

New Zealand is located east of Eastern Australia and can be attacked from
Eastern Australia and Argentina. It is part of Australia or Oceania.

Falkland Islands are located between Argentina and South Africa and can be attacked from Argentina and South Africa. It is part of the South American continent.

The values for the different continents are as follows:

1. North America 6

2. South America 4

3. Europe 6

4. Asia 8

5. Oceania 4

6. Africa 5

i would like to see this but not in the classic map, i would like to see someone(like you oaktown) do it like the classic map but not the same map.

I would really look forward to this, but could we have a image just to back it up?

I don't know how Grand Strategy does it but they use the exact Risk I and Risk II maps on their site. Maybe they have have a deal with Hasbro? You could go there and see what it looks like.

Sorry about that. I am not that familiar with all the different forums.

I agree that Conquer Club is superior and it is the only one I recommend to my friends but the Classic Map as found on the Risk II program is also superior to the old Classic Map in that there is more strategy involved without changing the familiar layout.

The World 2.1 map is OK except sometimes the connected countries can sometimes be confusing and has cost me at least one game because of this. The Classic Map with added territories is clear as the blue sky and has a pleasant look.

As far as stealing ideas from Grand Strategy how is using the same map with the exception of changing Australia to Oceania any different than them using the same layout and not changing it?

I think the exact same classic map (graphically) with these added connectinos and naming in classic 2.0 would be sufficent.

That might be OK but if too many more are added it could become cluttered. I love it as found on the Risk II program.

I believe one can download a trial version of Risk II. You can see it there. It's a beautiful map that doesn't change the familiar Classic layout.

I have no idea how to post anything like that. My computer skills aren't that good.

I really think this is a pointless map. We already have world 2.0. There is no need for this map.

I was born in the early 50's and probably most people were familiar with the board game long before the internet came into existence. I believe you would be surprised how popular it would be. It adds much more strategy to the original and would certainly make it more suitable for 7 or 8 players than the Classic now used. It would be a welcome alternative to the World 2.1 which can be confusing at times, at least to me.

My daughter posted this for me. Hope it works.

1. North America 6

2. South America 4

3. Europe 6

4. Asia 8

5. Oceania 4

6. Africa 5

With the six added territories it would be a second world map that would be suited for 8 players. The original Classic is too small. Also there would be the familiar layout of the Classic and no confusion as to where one could attack? How many would like to see this?
