bombardment from the airports sounds good to me. one can bomb any other territory, and after the enemy is defeated, a neutral army takes over.
i'm using adobe photoshop to make this map...so changes aren't too ...

ok, how do i get this moved to the Foundry? i wanna get started on the XML part...

There are now 42 territories. How's it look? Am I close? I think I'm getting carpo tunnel, cataracts, and a severe loss of social life from this project.
I just noticed that there should probably be a hole ...

i'm sorry, i was not clear about the airports attacking any territory... yes, they can "bomb" any territory, but they cannot take control of territories. they can bomb the crap out of a territory until the territory has one army remaining, then it will not be attackable anymore, so the owner ...

in colorado, there are (depending on who you ask) 54 mountains that are above 14,000 feet. each mountain could be a "territory", and the ranges could be "continents". might be kinda cool. anyone feeling ambitious? i'm busy working on Istanbul, Turkey...

ok, this is entirely hypothetical, so bear with me: i think in a war scenario, it would be strategic to "convert" these civilian airports to military airports, or at least use the runways for fighter jets. even if this would not be realistic a in real life scenario, how about just for the sake of ...

again, neither Ataturk nor Sabiha Gokcen are military airports... it doesn't make sense to make them so on this map.
true, but istanbul isn't a war zone either. it's just a game. my idea was to use the airports to bomb any other territory on the map, so in theory, when this battle for istanbul ...

40 territories

I like the idea of the airports being able to bomb any other territory, but no armies will be able to advance from non-adjacent territories. What about you guys? Ideas?

Also, should ...

hey all
just so u know, i'm working on it...it's been quite a lot of work, more than i expected!
i'll be posting my update in a couple of days.
cheers

to yamahafazer, yes! i would love some help with the names, and also with the drawing of the territories...how do u suggest i do it? i am afraid to end up with too few territories, or with too many. what do u think?

how much accuracy should i shoot for, geographically speaking. i have been living here in istanbul for about 5 months now and know that my map isnt correct, but i didnt think it would matter much for this game. im also aware that Turks dont speak arabic, but there is a lot of arabic writing found ...

airports can attack any other territory across the map...i thought that might be interesting....
