Start with a base image. Enhance it, give it labels, preferably with something other than paint. Post it on the site, listen to peoples' comments, edit it, post it on the site, edit it, listen to peoples' comments, etc, until it's quenched. then you do the xml and submit it to lack or andy and watch people play it on the site.

Everyone here, I'm assuming has played other versions of risk rather than classic, right? I'm talking about napolean risk, castle risk, Lord of the rings risk, 2210 AD risk, star wars risk, or Godstorm Risk. What if we made one of these maps. I'm thinking especiall 2210 AD, or Godstorm. The real idea here is the cards from those games. I've done a little html/xml/SQL coding, and i understand a little of how much work it would take, but if someone feels so inspired I do think those game types would be a lot of fun.

If start tackeling the drawing of the lines, can i getsome one willing to do the XML for me?
I dunnon how far I'm going to get, but I've got some free time right now, and in the next couple day, hopefully I canmake time inthe near future. (i.e. If someone else wants to take this map...go for it)
previsualconsent PM me, if you have certain things you were thinking with that map. For ex. what is the Purple territory in the middle, is that it's on bonus worth 1, or what is it?

i have read the books and the map looks sweet,
i don't know about playability.
here's an image, if it inspires anyone go for it, but i don't have the time or means to make it.
i suggested this then looked into it and decided that it would have far too many sea routes

Dishonest suck-up. It means you are trying to earn brownie points by being overly nice.

I've been looking for something that will probably get the CIA interested in me.
I thought that if we could get the blue print for a big ship i.e. an aircraft carrier or battleship - but so far nothing.
I found some guy on ebay selling prints - but this idea needs it in electronic format.
most blueprints have two images - above and below water - which could be linked.
