i voted for the forbidden city, because i think that would have some sweet gameplay

and i also voted for other. It's not that i'm not a fan of the WW2 maps, but i feel like there are so many of those. i'd like to see something new and abstract, like a circus?

I voted for the two WWII ones (Stalingrad, Midway), and the Forbidden City. If you add in some cool chokepoint rules to the latter, it'll be a very interesting map.

I voted for Midway, Trafalgar, and Forbidden City.

I think all three sound potentially fun. But we need more WWI maps! Honestly, that war is totally neglected on CC!

People do realise that the Forbidden City is the Imperial City of former Emperors of China in Bejing?
Not a fanciful make-believe world

I'm aware, hence my noting that if you don't create chokepoints on that map you're not doing the area a favor. ;)

I voted trafalgar, stalingrad, and other... as far as the other, I think the battle of sekigahara (wikipedia link for those unfamiliar) could offer some amazing graphics and interesting gameplay (especially the concept of units "betraying" one side or the other, which could be integrated into the bonus structure). The battle of hastings would also offer both first-rate graphic potential and quality gameplay.

Cairns can I ask you just one thing from your next map?

Just do a simple geographic map next please. One that anyone can play immediately. I would like to play one of those created by you. :)

Thanks Ruben....Lower Egypt is already in the Main Foundry working it's way through to quench.

Upper Egypt is in the New Ideas awaiting further support....

both are simple classic style maps with no more than 27 terts on each....no fancy tricks...

sydney metro is also simple classic style play no tricks.

your support/comments will help push them through this process. :)

and of course there is always cairns coral coast....that's a simple geographic map classic style play that anyone can hop into.
