Washington, D.C. Map

[atr1989]

I was wondering what you guys think about a D.C. map (for those who don't know, the Capital of the United States).

I have an image I can use, but if you could find a better one that would be great.

The image is at

I took out all of the names. Now I'm going to have to find some territory names.

So what do you think?

I think it's a good idea, but it might be better if u made it that virginia didn't take back the land and Washington is a complete diamond.

sure, have at it.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make a layout for the map and put it on here. Any help?

[atr1989]

Here is just a basic idea of what the layout would look like. I would have Northwest (red), Northeast (purple), Southwest (green), Southeast (brown), and the Capitol District (blue). I know I need to make the picture sharper and create better colors, but what do you think?

I also plan on adding harbors along the rivers connecting a few of the territories just to make it a little bit more interesting.

I agree. It would be cool if you had arlington in there. It could be its own continent. Then you could have fun with all the bridges. =)

You gotta change up the colors, I think.

[Dmunster]

Or you could break it up into three or four continents (Mt.Vernon, Old Town Alexandria, Roslyn and Shirlington).

Funny that you would make southeast brown. Thats where we used to get our pot when we were in a bind.

If I make it so that there are 9 total continents I'm guessing I should take out about half the countries in each continent? Because I think there are too many right now if I were to do that

[Kem Rixen]

I really think this is a neat idea, though, it's a little bland at the moment...Here are some ideas I had.

• Subway stations in some of the countries.
• Being able to attack countries on the rivers, but only downstream. Maybe just some of the countries.
• Smaller continents, or at least make some of them smaller, in my opinion it would be really hard to hold even one.
• Images of landmarks around D.C. so it would feel more like Washington D.C.

You don't need to use any of those, but I think it would be excellent if you used at least one.

atr, keep ur posts regarding the same map in the same topic.

[PimpCaneYoAss]

good idea keep working on it

[atr1989]

This is the revised map. I have not included any territory or continent names, but I included Arlington and Olde Town Alexandria due to the requests of some.

The continents:

Northwest (orange) - 6 territories

Northeast (yellow) - 5 territories

Southeast (brown) - 4 territories

Southwest (green) - 3 territories

The Mall (blue) - 4 territories

North Arlington (grey) - 3 territories

South Arlington (light green) - 5 territories

Olde Town Alexandria (purple) - 3 territories


I think the continents need a few more territories. What do you think?

I still plan to add bridges and harbors to make it better. I will probably redo this map in an actual program like Fireworks or something like that (I did this in Paint). Any suggestions on what to use?

[Unit_2]

that looks better

[plysprtz]

why don't you have it were the white house could be an additional army and the Washington monument and Lincoln monuments could be the same. and if you have them all they could be worth 5 extra armies or have them attack each other. i don't know but it needs to feel more like Washington d.c not like all other maps with anchors harbors and subways

[atr1989]

I know this isn't a priority right now, but I accidentally clicked on my border when I was filling something with color and the borders turned white. I think the white and gray both look better than the black border. What do you think?

(Territory names be put up later today)

Gray borders




White borders

[ParadiceCity9]

I like the black best

[fireedud]

I like black the best, it goes with the "feel" of the map.

[PimpCaneYoAss]

I think gray strains the eyes a bit...still to black or white which adds to the whole DC feel

[ParadiceCity9]

ya you've got too many continents with only 3 or 4 territories in them.

[PimpCaneYoAss]

I agree the continents are simply not big enough to support more than 3 or 4 countries which really kills some playability...keep working
