Conquer Club

That's right, it's another feel-good AJ thread.

So when you first joined CC, chances are the first map you played was Classic. It's what you knew, it gets you used to the interface, it's quick and it's painless. Well. It's not as painful as some.

So my question to you - depending on when you joined, there was a few dozen maps or the full array you have available today. Which was the one you fell in love with? We'll split it into two categories: Simple and Complex.

SImple: Great Lakes. I think this was the second or third game I ever played, and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities of Conquer Club. Being a Northeast Corridor lifer, seeing my hometown of Syracuse and all the lakes that have dumped all that snow on me over the years was one of those nice little joys. Plus it was relatively straightforward, even down to the Australia-corner that is Minnesota. I don't care what anyone says, Duluth is no place to start building an empire.

Complex: King of the Mountains. Oh my good lord why is everyone coming at me from every angle. Hey nobody's safe anywhere! Oh this is neat. I'm gonna run roughshod. No wait now I'm getting run roughshod upon. I think I'll play this map a hundred times.

Honorable mention goes to World 2.1, but let's face it, everyone loves that one. Eight gazillion things to conquer? I AM KING OF ANTARCTICA? Nobody's gonna hate on World 2.1. Reminds me of an old shareware game, World Empire II, which was essentially this only with every country in the world at the time. It was absurd.

Alright folks let's hear it. Walk down memory lane.

Simple - Halloween Hallows

complex - oasis is you consider that hard or the AOR maps

oh yeah just thought i would say i hate world 2.1

well you're weird anyway...

USA all the way!

When I first got here, my favorite map was Age of Realms 2, then Age of Realms 3 came out.

AOR 3!!!!!

Simple: Middle Earth, I really miss that map

Complex: Don't like complex maps

Is middle earth gone?

AoR 2...It was simply love at first site.Some "might" say it was a kinda "Magic". I was drawn to her. Like a Bee to Honey.

Where have you been for the last 3 months

Middle Earth was the best and one of my favorites. It was completely ruined with the change. I use to like Discworld as well.

Charleston, with American Civil War coming in a very close second. I joined like the week after the copyright stuff happened

.44

heh, forgot to answer the topic q...

first it was world 2.1, then feudal.

I was an instant sucker for Space and Alexander's Empire. But then World 2.1 came around... with those sweet, sexy curves...

Simple: British Isles has me as "hello"

Complex: New World or Feudal

Not fallen in love with any map.

In fact, my top map rank for a map is only sergeant and I am hovering around 2500

World 2.1

For complex, it would have to be age of merchants..

there were only a handful when I joined. British and Europe were big on list.

waterloo is right there too.

Simple:

World 2.1

Complex:

Age of Realms 2

Awesome thread idea. My first thought immediately was asia. But then I though back for a moment and I loved disc world before asia. As for complex I don't know if there were any when I first got here. More recently I love civil war, is that complex, i guess not. So new worlds then.

when i first joined... Middle East I absolutely loved, mostly cuz i kept winning on it also WWII Western Front

as time has gone on however my favorite switched to WWII Gazala and now City Mogul

Simple: World 2.1, Europa, Europe

Complex: I don't play any complex maps...

I doubt you joined two moths ago, cause that's when this map was made
