Map Suggestions

Post by redguineapig91 »

I have some suggestions, and since I have no idea how to bring them to life, here they are:

1, Divisions of Contemporary Countries (States for the USA, Provinces & Territories for Canada, Oblasts; Krays; Republics; & Okrugs for Russia with each district for the areas of bonuses)
2. USSR (the Soviet Union) with the Republics as the regions and further subdivide them according to cardinal directions except for the Russia with divisions as listed above, and the Caucasus as a region.
3. Individual Continents that have not been mad so far [Europe and Africa are the ones so far (Asia has only been made as certain regions such as the Middle East and the Far East, but not the whole continent)].
4. Countries that have not been made yet (Poland, Romania, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa, Mongolia, etc.).

Historically Based classic map

Post by Willgfass »

My idea is to make premade "empires" on the classic map. but to do that, the places given would have to be the same each game. I have no idea if how to make a map so someone else would have to do the map makeing. if anyone is interested, i'll give more information onhow i would envision it.

Maybe (not too many more), but that would be a lot of work anyways.

I don't think there enough knowledge about the land or any real continents other than The Old Kingdon and the place that I can't spell.

I like the idea of unprecedented territory numbers and unprecedented bonuses because they're, well, unprecedented. Master Bush, do you have some specific map in mind to put this idea into action? I'm not sure Alaska would be best for it, if that's the intent.

I gots an idea from lookin at some of these map posts.

First get an idea that a bunch of people agree on, then make a universal post of that map, and anybody can work on it. Every time someone makes an improvement, they just post it, and if the "map director" thinks it is good, he dubs is as the latest version.

People will submit maps with different improvements at the same time, perhaps, but perhaps they can be merged or whatnot.

Anyway, it seems like this forum has a bunch of people advising on how to make the maps, obviously knowledgable, but if we bring everybody together, who knows what we'll accomplish? and how fast???

i dont know if it is possible but what about a map with random bonuses like you will get a bonus of any number form 1-5 so i could get a bonus of 2 the first time then 5 the next but all of the continents will have to be relitivly the same unless you change the random numbers to something like 7-3 for a bigger continent.
