Classic alternatives discussion/suggestions

[xelabale]

Maybe you guys should stop saying the "c" word and you might get a bit further. Or the "H" word or anything else connect with "R". This thread seems to be the receptacle for "Doh" moments.

Who are you trying to kid ?
Do you think that CC is anything but a knock-off of RISK ?
Sure we have many different maps and options, but it still remains a variation on a theme.
You can pile on all the condiments you like, but in the end, ... it is still a Hot Dog.
And that is just fine with me, -I like hot dogs.

Doh

As we all know, the old "Classic" is gone and we were told that we cannot create a map that is similar to the Hasbro map. However, I was thinking of a new idea that takes the old Classic map and modifies it to make it different enough that it can still be used.

What if we took the original map and added an Arctic and Antarctic to the top and bottom of the maps respectively. Each would be three territories, and if the entire Arctic or Antarctic is held, would give an added deployment of 1 man per turn, or 3 men per turn if both are held simultaneously. The three Arctic territories would be able to attack Greenland, Scandinavia, and Siberia, while the three Antarctic territories would be able to attack Argentina, South Africa, and Western Australia.

Finally, the South America Bonus would be worth 3 armies instead of 2, and Africa would be worth 4 armies instead of 3

What do you guys think?

If u ask the maker of the map, you can make a revamp, but if u didn't, it's considered stealing

Yes indeed I did. Zim likes it by the way. I asked him if he would like to work with me on it. He said that he did not have too much time these days for mapmakng, but would like to be kept up to date, so he could add his thoughts.

hey, im sinc!

and im tired of classic shapes


I think it is time for a new map that has the territories of classic risk, along with an actual map.

Im not talking about world 2.1
I mean the origional 39 or so territories.

at the computer i have access to at this particular time, I am unable to use programs like photoshop or painter X. this rough copy done on paint should give people a good idea about what I am talking about

If anybody is willing to do the artwork, I would love to let them, and i would be thrilled to do all of the program formatting myself.

if anybody would love this idea, but would like to suggest a modification of their own, please state them in this post! thanks!


here is the rough draft i was talking about, please suggest better artwork that you might have made

I wouldn't waste your time. It's my understanding that classic shapes and classic art are it as far as the exact classic gameplay.
