Down on the farm

Post by jon morgan »

i have a good idea for a map but am not sure how to implement it ! I have an idea of a farm map , with the farm house and barn in the centre surrounded by a court yard ! which can be divided up into areas to make a group bonus, surrounding this would be different fields, made up of chicken, cow, pig, sheep, horse, divided into areas. to each field there can be a main figure ie: hen,bull, hog, ram & stud. each main figure can attack each other ?

Welp, the first thing you need to do is read the How to make a map handbook. Found here: viewtopic.php?f=466&t=40463

Then you need to go about making a draft that interprets your idea into a visual image. At this point it doesn't need to be perfect but just effectively convey what you're thinking.

As for the idea, well, a lot is going to rest on how well the graphics portray the idea. I think it has potential and its worth trying out.

One suggestion though... Something along the lines of the Orwellian classic Animal Farm would be awesome.
