similar to ccu, especially since its a school. also i dont know if you can directly state that it is a map of that school because of certain rules about maps and shit. it could work tho... it would work for shit like tournaments where one group plays for citadel, the other for ccu and see whos the better university.

Cool.. I started a Charleston map a while ago, but abandoned it due to lack of interest. Few people on this site know of that beautiful coastal city.

I have been inspired to try my hand at a Wheel of Time map.

Updated to reflect my current beta status. After I put sidewalks in I'll start doing territories and general beautification of the buildings.

Wow I need to resize the Version 1 image, but you get the idea. Sorry it took so long to create a beta worth anything, homework was swamping me. And yes, I shamelessly ripped off Google Earth and then put a filter on it.

EDIT: Resized for Large size.

UPDATE! It's not dead, I swear, I've just been so dang busy with school that I've only this week made substantial progress.
Version 0.8

To Do:
- The remaining black outline buildings
- Army circles
- Attack routes
- Add The Tower (it's in 2nd Battalion)

Like the concept - but not the font
'fraid my old eyes have great trouble reading it without employing magnification.

I'd suggest using single letter codes on the map itself with an off-map key - see the Waterloo map for example.

[TaCktiX]

I'm designing the Small version first so I can make sure everything fits. The Large version will be much more readable. If anyone can suggest to me a script-like font I could use for the "big territory" names, let me know.

Version 1 is now released. This is the small version, I'll post a Large one later on.

Excellent map; looks fun. Esp. like the large territory in the middle, bordering practically everything; adds some interesting aspects to gameplay. There should be some bonus for holding it, though. If you can grab it and the tower, it should be easier to defend.

[TaCktiX]

I suppose I should ask a few map readability questions:

- Is it? If not, what, and where?
- Is it relatively apparent that The Trailers, McAlister Field House, and Locker Rooms have no continent?
- Are the continents well-defined as is?
- Is the size of the Parade Deck obvious enough? The thing connects to 12 territories all over the map.
- Are the special attack features (Tower Bombard, Companies --> Battalions) well-explained?

I think the position of the Parade Deck is reward enough. If you hold it, you're within striking distance of virtually everybody. Conversely, you can use it to go all the way across the map to strike at someone. The territory will see heavy use as is, and a bonus would be unnecessary.

I should shoot myself for forgetting to post territory/continent information. D'oh. Please comment now.

I can't quite make this one out - it looks very interesting...

Perhaps it's a bit cramped?
