Wisconsin Counties

Post by Read_the_Meter »

I think this would make a good map. The state of wisconsin has a lot of counties and would be good for one on one play or mulitiple players or team games.

What would a map of Wisconsin have to offer to those who do not live in/near Wisconsin?

Its just a map to play on, thats like asking what a map of Europe would have to do for people who dont live in europe.

There are lots more people living in Europe than there are in Wisconsin. A map of Europe is more likely to interest people with just it's geographical area. A map of Wisconsin (or any other US state) should have something more to offer, as it would appeal to a relatively limited group of people as a plain geographical area.

The map of wisconsin could be marked into several zones, Milwaukee County as a zone, Lake Country which would be the counties surrounding Milwaukee County. Then you would have Dane County and those immediately surrounding it as a group.
The west part of the state could be Farmland group. The northern part could be Forest region, and the Peninsula could be a group on its own.

Milwaukee would give a bonus of 2, Lake country would give a bonus of 3, the Dane county group could give 3. Farmland could be a bonus of 5 as it would take the whole west border of the state. The northern forest region could have a bonus of 6. Brown County should be a bonus of 1 by itself since the Green Bay packers are there. The peninsula could be worth two.

We could have Milwaukee, Brown and Ashland counties as port territories which could attack each other.

Natty has a point. I've certainly taken my lumps for the Quad Cities map.
