Concise description:

• I suggest bringing back the Classic Art map.

Specifics/Details:

• One further suggestion would be to replace the artists' names on Classic Art with the place names used on the current map.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

• The Classic Art map gave a superior playing experience because the armies were sitting on the map and moving from territory to territory. It was easy to adjust to the abstraction of playing on rectangles. It is difficult, however, to adjust to the current board where armies sit on dots and move along lines, and the map below is rendered irrelevant. It would benefit the site to offer a sound playing surface as an alternative to the conflicted graphic design of the current map.

Yep,you right,in all other maps armies not sit,they just runing across all maps,from north to south,and from west to east.

What happened to it then?

[TheForgivenOne]

What happened to it then?

Was taken down after the Classic map was revamped. Originally there was a Classic map (looked blandish), and Classic Art. Both had the same concept and map layout, but just looked differently.

I was just talking about the Classic map with someone in RL recently. I miss it too, it made me feel all smart, and I was able to drop the artists' names into conversation periodically, which made me smart and pretentious!

[Funkyterrance]

Can someone plz post a pic of it?

To be more detailed: Originally there was simply the Classic map. It was a map of the world that had the same territories as in the game which must not be named. Then came the Canadian Turkeyday Massacre and it was taken down for copyright reasons. It was replaced with Classic Shapes. Due to complaints about Classic Shapes, Classic Art was created and both maps were available for a period of time. Eventually the current Classic Map was created and deemed safe to put up. It replaced both Shapes and Art, so that we could have a proper Classic map again of sorts. I believe that the Society of Cooks retained the ability to play and Classic Shapes for a while, but I don't know if they have it anymore...

Thx spiesr
Hmm, While the shapes one seems like it would be fun to try, it seems a bit dull. If I am going to play the classic map I like it to look somewhat like the actual world. I do understand that they had to do the best allowing the circumstances though .

This thread makes me smile.

I honestly miss the classic shapes map. I like it more than the revamped one

[shieldgenerator7]

let it out! you can't keep the old classic locked up forever!
honestly I think the graphics on both classic shapes and classic art stinks but the game play looks interesting.

[eddie2]

i loved that map i agree bring it back.

[Bones2484]

but the game play looks interesting.

The gameplay is the exact same as the current "Classic" map.

[army of nobunaga]

I never understood why it was taken away. I mean sure there were two exact maps, but this whole game is about random numbers, instead of getting rid of one- I would have made classic a random draw of the two maps. Meaning when you start a classic map you would randomly get assigned the Art or the Classic image.

[TheFissk]

best suggestion i've heard all day

Bring Classic Art Map Back


HOW MORE SPECIFIC CAN I BE?

Classic Hasbro Map was better than the current, but I'm aware we cannot use it. The current classic... Meh, tho thanks for the effort Sully, but it could be replaced by Classic Art which was pretty. Or just give the option to use Classic Art instead.

[MoB Deadly]

I was a fan of this map. RIP

[DoomYoshi]

This map actually has the proper connecting territories, so there is that.

[Armandolas]

Personally, i dont like the design.
Also for me, classic is about the world map and countries/regions
