I'd like to work with the food pyramids. I've done a very rough first draft of how the map will look.
Here's the idea. We've got on the left side, various fruits. The bottom row is Oranges, and we'll have Orange 1, Orange 2 etc. THe next level is Green Apples, THe third level is Lemons, the fourth level is cherries, the fifth level is grapes and the top level is blackberry. On the right side of the pyramids are vegetables. The first row is carrots, then brocolli, then Yellow banana peppers, then radishes, then eggplants and finally black bean. Between the two bottom levels, where the pyramids intersect are three loves of bread.
Gameplay
Essentially each fruit, vegetable, or bread can attack an adjoining one. So for instance, Orange 1 can attack either Orange 2 or Green Apple 1. Orange 2 on the other hand can attack Orange 1, Orange 3, Green Apple 1 and Green apple 2. Fruits and vegetables do not attack each other. Fruits can attack either other fruits (adjacent) or bread while vegetables attack other vegetables or bread.
Continents
Each Color is a bonus so holding all the oranges AND carrots would be a bonus, Holding the blackberry and the black bean would also be a bonus. Similarly there would be a bread bonus.
Number of territories: 45
Number of continents 7
