What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made:

Hello
im working on this map,but before i go any further on the map drawing i have a doubt concerning gameplay.
This is an important feature but im not sure if is possible to implement in CC

The ideia is that to achieve the victory condition u must hold both Portugal and Spain, but those 2 territs can only be reached by the Pope(another territ).
Also ,inside every colonie(the other 20 regions) we have a few different resources spreaded around...for ex: in Angola we have Gold, in Peru we have silver , in Goa we have spices, and so on.
My ideia is that, you can only assault the Pope if u control, lets say, those 3 different resources
So the question is...is this possible?

Thanks

Yes, it is called conditional borders. Once those conditions are met, then you can open up other borders.

Can you please tell me a map/maps where you have a feature similar like that?
thanks

None are in play at the moment.

But Labyrinth is the first map to use conditional borders. Hold Prometheus in the centre to be able to attack the slaves. Escape and Cairo use conditional borders a lot more heavily but are still in the game play stage of the foundry.

Thanks for info guys.

Updated OP with every info needed.
I will need your help here because its supersized and has conditional borders
Hope you like it

Thanks m8
Yes i requested to be supersized

About too many resources. You mean too many different ones or too many laying around?Anyway i will try to explain why so many on both questions:)
The reason why all this discoveries and explorations happened was the need for money and the money and those resources meant money..alot, also a lot of money was investe to finance this travels.
So all resources in the map were all really important and they are the main focus of the map(and there were a lot more)
They are represented in order of importance ex gold have 6 territs, silver 5, slaves 4, etc. It means that gold represented the "most important" resource, then silver, and so on.
I could remove a few but then i would feel i was removing a page of a history book

Nice map concept

Thanks mate..i have to agree

OP updated with small version

maybe you could use a little bigger font in small version.
what do you mean "2 different conditional borders"?
which program do you use?

I believe that this is possible. there is no limitation for conditional borders...

Updated.

Seems interesting!! I have to check the game-play later on.. but the idea is surely appealing

..you should redo/rewrite the small context intro on the upper left corner. It seems a bit confusing, grammar wise...

Thanks mate

You are right about the text.I will request a native english speaker to rephrase that for me.
Can someone help me with that?thanks

Graphics update:

Okay Armandolas, we are going to allow you to go supersize on this one. For the small, we ask that you stay within the supersize small, and if you need more room for the legends, you have plenty of room height wise. Right now your small is at 780x471, so you have room to go up to the max small size of 780x650.
