You could have territories like:
CC 666
CC696
cc666
C C696
CC666
Cc 6 6 6
cC 6 6 6...ad infinitum
and maybe the map could look something like this!

Needs some refinement, a bit to organized for me, needs more abstractness to it. I don't mind parts of the board being linear and organized, but I would like to see part of the board drift off into chaos. I also like the idea of Alcatraz and Dante's Hell...but I would maybe refine that in such a way like the radiation territories in North America Apocalypse map, where you receive negative armies for holding it, but if you grab certain areas and hold them, you get a ridiculous BONUS if you can do it! Like a hundred armies or something stupidly absurd like that.

That can be the point. There's the huge bonus that you can never get

Parallel lines can attack eachother.
Each territory can attack others of the same color, as long as they are an odd number of spaces away.
Black territories can bombard.
white territories decay.
dark blue is autodeploy.
each long black line is a territory/ it can attack all neighboring territories and lines that intersect it.

yes the point of my bonus was to be a bonus you could never get.

So what? Have super large bonuses in the beginning while they are diminished during gameplay? I don't know how that would work out precisely.
Each player starts out with 666 armies and you get a -10 bonus for each territory held unless you hold The Void/territory(s?), but the VOid(s?) trap your troops like ALcatraz.
But maybe you could RELEASE them from the Void if you do something else, like take over Pentagrams or something?
Or maybe certain Pentagrams are linked to Voids and as long as you are on those two territories, you can attack with those troops, but if you do not hold them, then your troops are all trapped until you can find a way to release them or unleash them from the Void?

Or how about Voids accumulate neutral troops each turn and if you take over a certain Pentagram or something, the troops convert to your color and you can unleash them from the Void?
or
Voids and Pentagrams start out with Neutral armies that accumulate every turn and if you defeat armies on a Pentagram your troops become neutral on the Pentagram but the are exchanged for the troops in the Void? (and vice versa?) And you can only enter the Void through a Pentagram?

Stupid Idea.Why waste your time on something like this. You could waste your time on an enjoyable map that people would play more than once.

Why don't you help think of ways that make it not so stupid, eh? I think it would be totally enjoyable, and others as well. The gameplay just has to be worked out...just brainstorming over the idea to see what comes up.

This sounds like an awesome idea (tell that pic to stop moving btw). The only thing is, make sure it's not too random. If there is literally 0% strategy and 100% luck, no one will play it. Well, I think some people would play it, but not many, certainly not me. I'd like atleast a little bit I can control. Other than that this sounds like a very uniquely fucking awesome map.

STOP MOVING!!!! *looks at moving part* oh much better.... OH NO! ANOTHER PART IS MOVING!!!!
since people around the foundry have always been wanting an animated map, it would be cool to have a map that DOESNT move, but LOOKS like it moves

the map is named "technicolor".
Each color is a continent.
Each pixel is a territory.
The territory names are ### x ###, using coordinates to name the territories.
The bonus for holding an entire color is equal to the number of countries (pixels) in that color.
Difficult enough for you?
The real hell about this one is that fact that there would be like 450000 territorys each needing their own lines of xml. poor programmer.

For this to be an actual playable map (not that 450,000 territories wouldn't be playable) I think the idea of chaotic borders for a territory works well for me, that way you have to try and bust through other opponents to try and grab part of your territory half way across the board. That is a good scheme. And that would be hellish, but not overly torturous that you would be dissuaded to play it.

Definitely need a different mapping scheme, but I like using just about the same colours as the players. A little camouflage action would be a hellish aspect, and I think it would still be fun as you would know that that is one of the intended quirks of the board.
My Window's Paint version looks like this if you hadn't already seen it:
