I can't help but feel that this map would be better if there were more territories. But just adding more people would make it pretty boring, I think. I don't have any ideas on cool gameplay gimmicks you could use, though. Sorry.

Dont you think 24 terts is enough for good all round games?

24 territories means 8 player games only start with 3 territories per player. Not as bad as Doodle, but not great...

[MrBenn]

I'd like to see more than 24 territories. I'd consider 32 the mimimum size for 8 player games.

You could territories onto the snowman and have a bonus for building a snowman? Maybe put another one somewhere?

[Skittles!]

Maybe you could add a couple of sleds in the middle of the path and maybe some tubes too?

Looking good. Though, I think some people [mainly those of those areas] with the name "Wog".

The snow ball generators start neutral right?

[cairnswk]

The snow ball generators start neutral right?

well i was thinking of having the snowball generators as the starting points for every player, and everyone else as neutrals so you' d have to generate some snowballs first before you could start firing them.
I think the snowball generators would be able to be bombarded from every "set" of chums - there are eight.
but the classic continents wouldn't include these generators for bonuses.
them's my thoughts thus far.

[Sir. Ricco]

I like it.

Good plan!

[bryguy]

lol random thought, but i saw someone saying something about a 'build the snowman' bonus, so it got me thinking, and made me think of the dog. Maybe a 'hit the dog' bonus?

"Everyone can attack each other with the exception of generators"
What exactly does that mean? Can the generators attack? If so, who? Can anybody attack the generators? If so, who?

[oaktown]

quench it!

I think what he means is this:
People kneeling are snowball makers, and may not attack; +5 for holding each maker.
People standing are throwers, and may attack anybody else.

I also assume the makers start neutral, otherwise whoever gets the first turn/drops the most makers has a huge advantage.

no i was thinking of having it the same as ToG (starting positions reefs) - Makers are starting positions, everyone else starts neutral which makes more sense in a logical flow of the game. You have to have snowballs before you can start throwing them.
But i think the balance between the snowmakers and the nuetral positions could be changed up.
For instance, snowmakers might generate +5; neutrals would have to be at least 5 also, so that the first person doesn't get the immediate advantage.

Version 3

Some changes:
1. More details in the legend
2. Dogs added as a +1 bonus
3. Legend has a face.

[MrBenn]

So if you start as a snowball maker, but cannot attack...????

[AceArtemis]

Am I missing something here, or is there only 7 snow makers?

I think the people should be grouped up in teams of 3: 1 snow maker per team and two throwers.
All the people in the group should be able to attack each other, and maybe add a small bonus, such as +1 or +2 for holding all 3 people in the group?

[oaktown]

the names need some work. Can I suggest Benn, Oak, Gimil, Andy, Yeti...

Ooh, it's a winter scene - there should actually BE a yeti!

Laughing my way all the way to the funny farm....no the names are fine as is.
This is not a shrine the map Foundry, but thanks for the comment.

Version 4

Please discuss this bonus formula and teams.

[Tisha]

why does legend have a face?

reminds me of little bill..

[wcaclimbing]

Each person on the map should be a mapmaker from CC. and they get to suggest what each person looks like. Just for a bit of fun and variety.
