The arenas once used to fight dreadfull battles to impress the gods is now your battlefield!
Centuries has gone since the land of Ogygia vanished from the world as we know it.
The strongest of each breed started occupieing the 7 arena ruins around their world.
The underworld god Hades was mad cause he was`nt seen as the strongest of gods so he made his own arena deep in the depths of the underworld. Seeing the both Hades and Zues got their own arenas poseidon disided it was in time that he did the same after all the land was splitted for them tree. So he went to the seacaves and kicked hydra out of the arena.
houndreds of of armies and heroes was terminated all in the glory to protect their lands and the little adrelinrush gained by bloodsplattering deaths.

Reserved for graphical updates...

I need to check in with Androidz. My computer died a sad death and I just got a new one and for now have the trial of photoshop installed. Here is the current map as I have it. I may have lost some changes but I don't think that I did. The to do list at the end of this message is old but I'm not ready to delete it yet.

[max is gr8]

You cannot have airports on this themed map

[oaktown]

Point of order: the "coliseum" is a Roman structure, not Greek. The gods you represent are Greek, not Roman. The Greeks may have built amphitheaters, but I'm not aware of any.

I don't think it's a terrible idea, and the graphics could be fun, but it would be more historically accurate to make them "temples."

[Androidz]

Not aiports. AirDocks...we updateing the graphics soon. xD

do you mean airdocks?

Hmm im sure i seen Hercules was in the Greek coliseum. And this is a fantasy based map. But i will disscuss the matter:)

[Ruben Cassar]

Colosseum is a better word.

ok changed:P

[InkL0sed]

Wow this looks pretty, and nice. Pun intended.

I'll keep tabs on this one.

[Ethitts]

This looks like it could be a really good map, but I'd have to agree with oaktown on the fact that they should be temples not coliseum's. Also, I find the airdocks seem out of place, perhaps there is something else that could be used to attack heaven's gate?

A few other things to point out:
Cerberus guarded the gates to hell, so shouldn't it be in Hades area? I don't understand why Cerberus has it's own coliseum. You do have it beside the stairway to hell, but the two aren't linked and it wasn't the stairway he guarded.

I find the coliseum of the God's weird because you have "Titan" inside it. All the gods are around the coliseum of heaven. The titans were locked away in different places, like under mountains and stuff.

I'm not understanding the heroes/monsters concept. Currently there is only 1 hero and 3 monster's inside the coliseums. The rest are 2 God's, 1 titan and and the last is empty.

You say the monster's are killer neutrals? I'm not entirely sure how killer neutrals work, but don't they revert to neutral after your turn? In which case, how can you hold a certain amount of them to get the bonuses?

I think this is a great idea for a map, great layout so far. But I think you should either BASE it on mythology and do some research on it, or have it as something different. I'll keep checking in on this map because it could be something great.

[seamusk]

Androidz is concept guy on this project, but when I can I'll chime in.

Also, I find the airdocks seem out of place, perhaps there is something else that could be used to attack heaven's gate?

The airdocks look awful. I'll try to do something different that fits depending on what Androidz wants to do with it.

Thanks for commenting!

About the temples..there will be hard placeing monsters inside them. And after some resarch it was Arenas they had in Greek and the romans stole the idea and made colloseums. (So you think i should call it Arenas instead?)

Yeah you have right i will try to find something. But i think ill will make it a fantasy way or something.

A few other things to point out:

Again you may have right=) i got alot of other monsters to use:) will be changed in one of the following updates.

Yeah i dont some research about this and Titans was actully the old gods of greek long time before Zues and the gods took over. So that why i calld it what i calld it.

I'm not understanding the heroes/monsters concept. Currently there is only 1 hero and 3 monster's inside the coliseums. The rest are 2 God's, 1 titan and and the last is empty.

Well gods can be heroes to? But i can change it to Guardions of the Colloseum or osmething like that.

You say the monster's are killer neutrals? I'm not entirely sure how killer neutrals work, but don't they revert to neutral after your turn? In which case, how can you hold a certain amount of them to get the bonuses?

I tought killer neatruals is when there is higher number of armies than 3.

I think this is a great idea for a map, great layout so far. But I think you should either BASE it on mythology and do some research on it, or have it as something different. I'll keep checking in on this map because it could be something great.

Thx=) I would be happy if you respound to theese things. What are you toughts now?

[Juan_Bottom]

Yup, your Gods, Monsters, and heros concept is all out of wack. I would just stick with heros and monsters. There are about a gillion of them. But each of the Titans was more powerful than even the gods. Their bonus would be a million.

And instead of using 'airdocks', you could use Mount Olympus, or temples.

I got an idea for the Airdocks changes.

It might be a million for those but they fitt to consept whatsoever.

[TITANESS]

all i have to say is that you're setting stories of real places into a fantasy land
maybe you should using a map of Greece
perhaps then it would be easier to understand

[Ethitts]

I think if your going to use mythological names (Hercules, Zeus etc), then you need to do it "historically" correct. There are so many game play options you could go with on this. Perhaps you could "release" the titans from their imprisonment and it would grant a huge bonus per titan. I would suggest having either 1 temple per god, or temples with heroes/monsters that can attack the heavens. Or go with Juan_Bottom's idea of Mount Olympus, that would be cool. Take out airdocks completely.

These are just my suggestions, go with what the community thinks is best.

[wcaclimbing]

Interesting map, but the graphics aren't flowing too well right now.

There is too much going on in the textures, I think. You have all nice land textures and colors, except for the purple area. It clashes a lot with the softer colors over the rest of the map.

For the yellow areas around Zeus, could you put a thin black border around all the yellow, including the arrow? Right now the light yellow is too similar to the light blue of the clouds in some places.

The way you have the areas set up is kinda confusing, too. You use regular territories everywhere, but you switched to a city-based set up (each point is a territory, connected by attack lines) around Cyclop. That would make sense if it was in a cave or something, but I'm guessing from the bright colors that it is not. Could you re-do that area (with a different terrain texture) and use normal territories, so its more similar to the rest of the map?

Airdocks don't work well for your theme, either. They didn't have anything that could fly, so they would never have an airdock/airport. maybe if you changed them into altars or whatever they prayed to the gods with, that would be better. Then it would make sense that you could go from those up to Heaven's Gate.

Oh, and replacing the letter "C" with the letter "K" isn't "kool", it's annoying. don't do that

The purple can be changed. Lets see what Androidz says about that. This is a tough map in that it goes through all kinds of terrains intentionally so there ought to be some contrast. Is there anything else that stands out here?

I could do that. Thanks.

The area around the cyclops is supposed to be under water. Now I realize that the coloring doesn't jive well with the water we have. If I got them to sort of transition better do you think that would help? At some point I obviously stopped thinking of transition there.

They didn't have anything that could fly, so they would never have an airdock/airport. maybe if you changed them into altars or whatever they prayed to the gods with, that would be better.

We're working on a solution to this. I need to see what Androidz says about the continued comments on mythology. We talked about it some today, but I have a feeling we'll change more than what we discussed today.

Oh, and replacing the letter "C" with the letter "K" isn't "kool", it's annoying. don't do that

I don't think he does that on purpose. English is not his primary language and so he tends to swap letters around sometimes.

[Joodoo]

very good start, looking forward to playing it if it does become quenched

never mind then, sorry.
My brother went through a time when he would always write that way, cause it was "kool". no problem if English isn't his first.

It actully actully a cave which has raised from the waters. Or something like that:P

All other comments i will keep that in mind, were going to put out a update soon if still dont like it pliss tell us what to change. This got a bit messy for me and my english:P

[angelicagese]

nice wrk i likd it...

[Qwert]

I look some posts,and i must say that you must decide,do you want to create MAp based on greek mytology,or Roman mytology.I must say that Greek is much more explore then Roman.
Coliseum is build by romans,and i think that Arena wars is much suitabile name for these map. Greek mytology is also fantasy world,but also is very good documented,so you not need to mix roman and greek mytology.

Airdocks don't work well for your theme, either. They didn't have anything that could fly, so they would never have an airdock/airport. maybe if you changed them into altars or whatever they prayed to the gods with, that would be better. Then it would make sense that you could go from those up to Heaven's Gate.

They have,things who fly ,but airdocks,and airdrops is definitly wrong names for these theme. In greek mytology you have humans who fly-Dedalys and ikarus.,also you have animals who fly,and of course gods who fly. Also you have monster who fly.

Now i will say something what people know what will i say-
RESEARCH_RESEARCH_RESEARCH,before continue work on these map
