intresting. could be messy thought when it comes to team games.

as for names just try using numbers like the king of the mountains map.

i think ill keep a close eye on this map.

Hmmm... I could do that, maybe. I play tested the crap out of Siege. I'll see if I can get some of my crew together.

I could see about playtesting it - I know several CC-ers, and I think we could get a game (or series of games) together, then report on it. Would that work?

Oh, and I'd definitely name everything you can... that was part of what was cool about Jota's map. I do wonder what's with halls and quarters for continent names when the rest of the names are virtues or values of sorts?

maybe if you name them, you can start tall territories in one continent with the same letter... i hate search an entire map for some obscure unintuitive name.

Yes I like it...very maze-like, confusion will reign but it will be fun!

I think you might need some more up/down connections between the two halves of the blue section on the left however

Just had another look and there is a blue room in the middle with 2 ways out but no way in, add one way in from the room below it and then over on the edge add another way into the little 'squiggly' room from above.

I think this could be one of the most intricate maps on the site. Will be great for those that like to build slow and steady. Quite confusing and frustrating at times...great idea...can't wait!

Yes, simple and fairly obvious...but there will always be some who don't get it! - Nothing you can do about it tho', it's just people being people.

Yes I get what you mean.

Thinking about bonuses -

Continent - Territories - Ways in - Ways out - bonus
Magic - 10 - 3 - 3 - 5
Faith - 8 - 2 - 3 - 3
Might - 8 - 4 - 3 - 5
Mind - 7 - 3 - 4 - 4
Stealth - 6 - 2 - 2 - 3
Halls - 5 - 4 - 4 - 6
Quarters - 8 - 2 - 1 - 3

Are you happy with this?
It seems to me there is more than just territories and borders to consider, also how complex is it to gain the Continent?

Maybe the bonuses could be bigger all round...just thought...imagine playing no card adjacent on this!!

eg magic: if you hold every territory in magic except the one in the bottom left corner (of magic) then to get to that last territory you need to go through 4 territories, not so bad..but...if you hold all of magic except the two territories on the bottom left then you actually need to go through 13 other territories just to gain access to the last 2 territories!

As I said...confusing, complex, exciting!!

:twisted:

Well if we look at the complexity some more, we find Quarters are a piece of cake...hold all but any 1 territory and you are just one territory away from it, immediate access...so on second thoughts - no, don't increase ALL bonuses.

Might need some-one with access to a group of people and time to test the bonuses in a few configurations.

In regard to the naming...I'm not fussed either way.
