Yep, great idea but make a second draft asap because the current version is blinding me. Anyway, keep working and then more constructive comments might come

lol.......that was hilarious. I'm really liking this map. I think it's much better than the previous sudoku design and has much more playability than the crossword map. I'm in a crossword game now and I had forgotten how hard it can be on the eyes to figure out which territory borders another and where the continents are. This map is straightforward with enough territories to keep everyone happy.

By the way, Classic has Australia: you can attack all territories from one space then fort to the border. It has a +2 bonus, so why should this only have +1?

I think the idea is good, but its really confusing as it stands.
I don't know how to fix this, I guess making it a bit clearer would help.. Definately make the borders thinner, I think.

London Underground..... Or just London....

Post by Fag_Ash »

The london underground is already divided into continents i.e the different lines....central, circle, district, hammersmith, jubilee, piccadilly, victoria and waterloo e.t.c.... number of territories per continent can be changed by removing the less 'famous' stops.... pretty similar to the american subway or french metro e.t.c only with the english angle... (enough american themed already??) Or just a map of london.... kind of self explanitory to you clever map making people!!

Just my thoughts anyways.... thats as far as i go.... couldnt make it myself if i tried!

Cheers

( i keep posting this in the wrong place.... can someone move it if i do it again?!?!?!)

Map of Ivalice (Final Fantasy 12)

I have an idea to do a map based on the Ivalice from Final Fantasy 12. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make maps. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea and wants to make it for me that would be awesome.

Hey. I told you I would help.

You first need to get people involved in making the map playable. You have borders (bridges and rivers) that do not need to be there. Just get a rough draft and make sure people like how the map will play. Then I will help.

I just do not want to spend 10 hours making a map look go only to find that I need to start all over since the game play sucks or no one wants to play.

Because Oceania only borders Asia, which is quite hard to take and hold. Red would be able to take and hold another continent and lead to a significant combined bonus with green for only 3 defending spots.

Soviet Union map

Post by LYR »

I'm no map-maker, but I think it would be interesting to see a Soviet Union or Russian map. (I am russian, and just for the record, I hate communism, Stalin, and Lenon, so don't get the wrong idea :mrgreen:

I have seen some ads of graphics designers on here that would love to get their hands on new maps, but for that we have to agree on the borders, bonuses etc. first, so please give me your feedback on the principle of overlapping bonuses, to name something. I have never seen it in any other map on here.

BLACK CAULDRON MAP

Post by taranwandrer »

Black Cauldron Map

FROM THE CHRONICLES OF PRYDAIN BOOK SERIES.
LLOYD ALEXANDER AUTHOR

http://www.lloydalexanderbooks.com/map.htm

this map could be great...a lot more potential than the other maps i have seen lately.
it has 4 main castles or caer's....it could be like downtown montreal on the montreal map, where holding the individual land of a castle gives you a one army bonus....regardless of whether you control a whole colored territory.

also, rivers, ruined wall, and mountains will make good boundaries.
plus, you can include something i thought would be cool, like a loss of one army everytime you cross the big river, which would make the territory valuable to those holding it.

flashlegs and davestine....click on my feedback to find them, could help you along with me to build this map with info and the like.

please make it somebody.

Its Leinin just so you know but I also was thinking of a Cold War map where you could control the Iron Curtain or the Free World in a map and there could be territories like NATO, USSR,

BLACK CAULDRON MAP

Post by taranwandrer »

http://www.lloydalexanderbooks.com/map.htm

i have created a post titled black cauldron map, which was one of the books of chronicles of prydain...kinda like lord of the rings lite.....

it'd make a helluva fun map with use of all the castles to get bonus armies and cool landmarks.
flashlegs and davestine could help out.

About politics: this region is ALL politics, no way around it. Even the national borders are far from undisputed, and oil is a weapon here.

map of phoenix

Post by VeritechRyan »

Phoenix

as a citizen of phoenix, az, usa, the amount of suburbs we have is kind of surprising. Scottsdale, surprise, peoria, goodyear, buckeye, deer valley, paradise valley, cave creek, downtown, etc. theres about 10 areas around the entirety of Phoenix. its an interesting IDEA, if nothing else
