Map Ideas

Postby panicker on Fri Mar 02, 2007 6:50 pm

I've had a few ideas for maps and more recently an idea of a CC theme park. I've drawn up numerous drafts just in my spare time but am I right in thinking people want a theme of true warfare in there maps??? ie. fighting for real land or historic battles and the such ?

I have design qualifications behind me and am doing it just for fun anyway and I'm beginning to think global based maps are becoming exhaustive and original ideas are either few and far between or innapropriate to gameplay . Is this right or is there interest in playing maps just for there aesthetics and playability , but totally fictional and not purely war based ?

i don't think the theme matters as long as it has good playability and it looks nice.


PS: do a brain map

of course. think the ccu map. ill play anything that is interesting, aesthetic, and has good playability. the more unique the better.

however, i personally am not particularily interested in maps of worlds out of the cartographers imagination. i love middle earth, discworld, and space because i can relate them to books and plots ive read.

hope this helps :)
Do you need an excuse to have a war? I mean, who for? Can't you just say "You got lots of cash and land, but I've got a big sword, so divy up right now, chop chop."

There's plenty of room for more "novelty" maps as it's been put. There's Chinese Checkers in development along with my own version of Connect 4. There was a mansion map in development, a zoo and so on. Post up your drafts so people can comment more on your ideas.
