objective would be to control 5 of the 9 judges

capturing a region - which will be sets of influential forces that act upon the court - gives you control of one judge

territories and regions are like ...

Court Functionaries
- Clerk of the Court
- Court Crier
- Reporter of Decisions
- Chief of the Supreme Court Police
- some others

Amicus Curiae Filers
- American Civil Liberties Union
- National Rifle Association
- Southern Poverty Law Center
- U.S. Chamber of Commerce
- CATO Institute
- AFL-CIO
- some others

Bar Associations
- American Bar Association
- National Lawyers Guild
- Federal Bar Association
- American Inns of Court
- some others

Lower Courts
- 1st through 9th Circuit Courts of Appeal

Landmark Precedents
- Marbury vs. Madison
- Miranda vs. State of Arizona
- Regents of California vs. Bakke
- Gideon vs. Wainwright
- Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education
- some others

Primary Legal Sources
- U.S. Declaration of Independence
- Federalist Papers
- U.S. Constitution
- United States Code
- Code of Federal Regulations
- Uniform Commercial Code

Secondary Legal Sources
- Corpus Juris Secundum
- Black's Law Dictionary
- Harvard Law Review
- Public Contract Law Journal
- Stanford Law Review
- Magna Carta

other stuff, I dunno

That's because it's not official yet. You have to first develop it. Then you can get it into the Final Forge stage in a month or so if you are willing to put in a crapload of effort. After two days+ in the Final Forge stage, if no one has any objections, it will be "Quenched" and posted onto the site


I'm not sure if all of this is accurate, but don't expect this map any time soon. Not saying it's not a good idea, because I personally like it, but it takes a lot of effort to get a map into KEYOGI/Andy's good books before you can even think about publishing
I'm not really sure how the XML files work out either, especially if this is a map where you only need X territories to win

Oh, and on the map, there should be more judges. Not sure what the fruits are for either.
Possible names maybe? (US Supreme Court is fine, I suppose, but... CC Supreme Court, CC Court of Justice, etc.)

On bonuses, +13 is pretty crazy. Maybe +3?
Judge = +1
Applicant + Lawyer = +1
Defendant + Lawyer = +1
Applicant + Defendant = +2
Applicant + Lawyer + Defendant + Lawyer = +5?
Just some possible ideas

:lol:

Try 6 months and 50 days and you'll be a bit closer to reality...
