The HIVE [Quenched]

I like the concept, but not the graphics. I think there should be more community votes on maps like this. I think it would drum up a lot more support when a new map comes out, and more people would be willing to go play a new map and provide feedback if they were prompted (via PM) to go look at it and approve it. Great work!

Same thing here.

Great Idea, not great graphics.

I am sure I have seen a computer game before, based on the HEX. It was something about diamonds...

But we really need this type of the map on CC!

looks great

can not wait to see it available to the public

[Nicho]

Looks good to me. I'm looking forward to playing it

Maybe you are talking about Vantage Master? That game was amazing...

If you want a theme you could make it a herb garden or something. One bonus could be parlsey, one mint, etc. that might make it easy to pretty up a little. Or it could be an artist's mixing palette with different colours.

I doubt if I'd play it too often myself, big maps tend to mean long games and there are often intervals every coupla months when I can't play.
But there are many big map fans out there and not enough big maps for 'em.

I like it.. Will add a new aspect to the already many map options. Wouldn't change a think, thanks for the heads up. Nice Work

Although I bet if a newb posted this in the Drafting Room it would be laughed at. Being WM has its perks, doesn't it?

Actually it didn't. The map was dead (due to lack of interest) until I PMed everyoen (everyone that does not visit the foundry) to see if it was a wanted map.

If peopel like it then i will make it.
If they don't then I won't.

Thanks everyone for the input and ideas.

I like the gameplay I laid out in my giant map project much better than this map. My scheme contained 312 territories compared to this 350, but it included many theme possibilities and the unique gameplay of neutral army walls. Perhaps we should consider combining the two ideas? After all, I only started my Huge map when I thought you had given up on yours.

That's pretty nice for any of the foundry forums, much less the Recycling bin, looks like that PM worked.

Personally, I would rather have you create a more "graphics heavy" map. While your maps have unique and very good gameplay, they also have some very good graphics. It seems like a waste to be drawing hexagons.

For Battle Royales, I don't think this can be topped. They don't happen often, but this will be VERY popular for them.

I'd like to see it made in the current (4 sep 09) format. I don't mind the simple graphics... Classic Art and classic shapes are about as simple as it gets.

From the simple 'limits' standpoint, I like the idea. It is ALWAYS a good thing to push the boundary, and see where it lies. If this requires a "no story" map, I can handle ONE in all the maps that CC has right now. I think this idea has legs.

The 10 max bonus for terrs is not bad, but it does leave little impetus for an initial rapid expansion, since there's no chance of injuring an opponent for a LONG time, even in an 8-player game. Perhaps raising it to, say, 12. Taking 7 from someone with a 12 drop yourself is unlikely, even if you pick up, say, a 3 and a 5 bonus on drop... 23 to kill 21 would require a great deal of luck.

Wile extra bonuses are more likely with fewer players, it gets even harder to break a max territory bonus, as the padding gets greater.

I can see running this as Chained/Escalating with 6 or more players... Unlimited would give a HUGE advantage to the first couple of players to go...

I'd play it. Not constantly or anything, but sure. I don't see it as a 1v1 map, or anything like that. But teams and 8-man games, easily.

I can't wait to play on this map...

A few comments:

• To make it fair for all players in turn 1, territory bonus should start at round 2 only.
• Not sure we want to block bonus for number of territories to 10.
  - May be a concept like the "Conquer Man" map should be used.
• Territory naming suggestion:
  - All territories in same group start with same letter and number increment by 1 for each territory.
  - When letter Z is reach, the following one are AA, BB, ...
• Did you test a number of armies with 3 digits (ex. 100) on a territory?
  - Is there a need for 4 digits (ex. 1000)?

Plenty of room for both, Sully. I'm sure if people are interested in this map they'd be interested in yours too.

[Shabel]

if you go with the current map diagram....i would call it Killer Bee Hive.

[The Cheat]

The more the merrier, I say ... and I'd play it (what wouldn't I play?), but I would design it as either something very large (quadrant of galaxy), or something very small (element, compound, or protein at the microscopic level) ... I'm sure there are other ideas, and I haven't read what's posted ... just a vote and my initial thoughts.

Good luck!
