My only displeasure is at the values used for the killer neutrals... you know in practice that most players will simply attack around them and treat them as barriers, yes? Anyway, I have a long-standing beef with high neutrals in maps, so I'm probably biased.

Yes, that's really the point ...

So, I don't know - it seems really busy with all the horizontal and vertical bonuses. Do we like them or just want to have bonuses for regions only? Or maybe just want to add a +1 or +2 for any row or column? Also, +5 bonus seems excessive for the cyan square.

Well I see about 14 pages of old football ideas......... You might wanna do some research on them, see whether any are still being developed and then flesh out your idea some.

What do we all think of the new map?

You're jumpin' around too much for me. Probably should've made a new thread for this one, I was still involved in the other idea. The musical note map isn't really doing it for me, actually both maps just seem a bit too contrived and without a really strong ...

Those dang cassette tapes. Always getting chewed up and then you'd pull 'em out of the machine and the tape just stretched out everywhere. Might wanna use little strips of magnetic tape to connect your territories. :-)

Are those supposed to be guitar picks or what? Way too big if they are. Could ...

I'm not particularly fond of the little vein things (roads?) connecting villages etc. Are they necessary? If so, is there another way they could be done?

Am I the only one not understanding where the dense forests are and what is impassable?

Worst case scenario, you might be able to escape out a window

What makes this "Sudoku"? To me it looks like 3x3x3 squares with killer neutrals for some reason. As someone else said, we already have Conquer-4. Is this not Conquer-9?

I also do not understand the bonus structure. There is no difference in the rows/columns/squares, so why are the bonuses ...

What is a killer nuetral?

"If you want you can make these neutrals come back after someone takes the territory. We call these killer neutrals, which revert to neutral at the beginning of the occupying players turn."

So, if someone ...

How bout this?

It does.

It's all Greek to me!

(Somebody had to say it.)

I admit, I'm just an idea guy and not an implementer. I know there have been many attempts at doing the human body, but I think just the heart by itself is an interesting subject and would make a good map.

Here's one example of how it could be done, just to start the subject out. I'm sure someone ...

It looks like a shirt, or maybe the upper torso of a body.

Eureka, I've found it!

I'm obviously no good at searching, because I can't find the original post on antarctic.

Some interesting stuff there.

I say we adapt my black hole refrigerator map, get rid of the fridge and the rest of it is the internet.



Shouldn't be too difficult to work out the gameplay.

250 territories?

(Nevermind the rest, I'm sure the joke only made sense to me.)

If you'll pardon me for borrowing your board (and pardon my horrific graphics skills) I like your chess game, and I think there's room for more than one chess map. What I was thinking of was more of a beginning-game setup, where all the pieces were still on the board.

Areas which did not have ...

Ok I changed the wording a bit.

Ok here we go..

I don't think we want to get quite so busy with the color scheme.. how about just all the same color dotted lines with arrows at the end, like brown?

(It'll take me awhile to put them all in.)

Of course, that's what I meant to do.

Ok, sorry about all that. Had to change the objective slightly, because requiring FL to win would give too much of an advantage to anyone controlling the South. Instead there's the option to control either FL or NH, both deep within opposite colored regions, plus OH. Still somewhat close to the ...
