Warlords Battlecry

This is the campaign map for the game Warlords Battlecry 2. I think it would make a great map to play on. What do people think?

There are a whole lot of castles which can be used for points. (holding so many gives a certain amount of points). Also some territories could be laid out for point allocation.

Great idea!

I used to love the old Warlords series... I had forgotten about it until I read your map idea.
I hope you continue with the idea, I think it'll be fun and rather nostalgic to play. Maybe it'll inspire me to buy the latest version, assuming it's reviewed well.

There are 12 castles which are different races and they are:

Undead, Dark Dwarves, Demons, Dark Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Wood Elves, High Elves, Fey, Minotaur, Barbarians, Ors.

So I was thinking this could be an option:

7 points per side (Evil, Good, Neutral), so:

Undead + Dark Dwarves + Demons + Dark Elves = 7
Humans + Dwarves + Wood Elf + High Elf = 7
Fey + Minotaur + Barbarians + Ors = 7

Any 3 Good, Evil or Neutral races = 4

Any Evil side + any Good side = -1 (only 1 point can be deducted, so say you had 4 evil races and 1 good, then only 1 point would be deducted, not 4)

Dark Elves + Wood Elves or High Elves = -2

Dark Dwarves + Dwarves = -2

Humans + Undead or Demons = -2


These are just a few options. You would only need to hold the castles to get the bonuses. I will implement separate territories for each race too (giving bonuses).

Ok i've updated the map (I changed the link at the top so click there to view it). In this map land isn't so important. It's about the castles you own. So it's like controlling castles and sending your armies off to take other castles to get better bonuses etc.

(Note that there are negative points allocated. These only apply once. So say you had 4 evil races and 1 good, you would only get -1 not -4)

I like the idea, but I need to know what everyone else thinks. So please comment! Thanks.

Also, 1 question. How do you load the image into the text field, rather then having it as a link?

You realy have to design this map yourself, draw everything...
Otherwise there will sertenly be copyright problems...
The hand and the flags have to be changed and maybe you have to change some little things to the countrys also...I don't know if you are alloud to take it like this....

Obviously i've still got to make alot of adjustments. But I just want to know what people think of it so far. Good, bad etc.

And yea copyright would be an issue, but if this was a map people would like to see then I would contact the designers of the map or redraw it myself.
