Oceans

[Aspect]

Complete update- 12/11/07
7 Bonuses- 36 Territories



For reference purposes, N. Atlantic goes through the horse latitudes. Bering Sea, Southern Ocean, etc. go across map in case you hadn't guessed. Arctic ocean territories can all attack each other. As for the southern ocean, it touches 7 territories and so will be very important in a game.

Tentative Bonuses-
4 east pacific
3 antarctic (antarctic is the southern one)
3 south atlantic
3 north atlantic
2 indian
4 west pacific
3 arctic

Because of the low values for all the bonuses, I am considering combining North & South Atlantic into one bonus with a bonus of 5 or 6.
I could do the same with the pacific for a bonus of 7 or 8.

So, using these bonuses, we would get this...

Possible Bonuses-
8 pacific
6 atlantic
2 indian
3 antarctic
3 arctic

But if I give Cape of Good Hope to antarctic, than it would be...

8 pacific
5 atlantic
2 indian
4 antarctic
3 arctic

This way has a better distribution of points, but I liked the fast paced gameplay that would be caused by having a ton of small bonuses.

Due to possible size concerns, here is a larger map. I may be able to do some more things with it now, as long as you can't tell it's stretched.



If you have any comments regarding the bonuses, the territories, the names, or the graphics, please post. Feedback is very welcome.

A few other ideas are in these forums for this, but I think it's a great idea. With some beautification, I'd play it.

I don't like the white being used for both island formations and inland water.

Someone made a really good map of this burt he dropped it. it'll be somwhare in the foundry.

nice map like some of the made up names too
just an idea lo what if you named the seven seas ;- atlantic , medatran,pacific,caribbean,indian,southern,arctic has your continants then sub divsion each one like ie german bright, icelantic,dover,white,portland ect just to name a few thats around british waters
if you look on the royal admiralty navy charts you should find all the worlds local waters names,you be able to pick and chose whitch ones you use

I thought about making a map....and then found out that windows paint is very good.


But I would play it.



edit: Put seas in and say that if you own 3 you get +3
4 you get +4
5 you get +5
6 you get +6
Own all 7 and you get +7


Bonusses for that would need to be looked at. I'm not good at bonusses

I was going to have something like that, but I dropped it for this version because I used seas as part of the oceans... the arctic would have like 2 territories without the seas.
But the mediteranean black and red seas all work well together with the mediteranean connected to the red with suez canal

edit:
by the way, I posted this Idea like 6 months ago just to get it out there, I guess I didn't need to

what about adding canals in?

[Aspect]

what about adding canals in?

do you mean adding canals as territories, or as borders?
adding as territories is not a bad idea
but I don't think the thing I'm missing is more borders, if that is what you mean. Maybe if my map was larger I could fit more into it... though the only thing small about it is it's height.
i'll look into resizing it

[oaktown]

if you're serious about making this happen - and I'm all for it because I have always supported this idea - you really should look through the previous attempts at this map. Viscount Gort made a lot of progress on this map, and taking advantage of the lessons learned there may save you a lot of changes later.

The Seven Seas does not refer to that. It is a very specific reference dating back to the days of the Barbary pirates, meaning the 7 seas the Mediterrean world could reach.
