koontz1973 wrote:Things to think about.
koontz1973 wrote:What happens if in a nuclear game, someone loses all of their nest? Can it be retaken?
koontz1973 wrote:How can the game continue if someone parks a stack of troops onto their own start point or any square, how do the others get round him?
koontz1973 wrote:Trench games, this is going to become extremely horrible to play. You have to wait 10 rounds before you can even attack the next player if you all start in the nests.
koontz1973 wrote:How will the players get put onto the board? If this is only going to be a four player game, you will need to ask permission form nobodies. Never looked at the other thread as it was not something I was interested in and really before my time.
koontz1973 wrote:Ask yourself this, would this map make a good addition to the site?
what? did you ask this also in Parchisi map for example?
koontz1973 wrote:what? did you ask this also in Parchisi map for example?
No, but it is something that is going to be asked now a lot more and not only by me.
koontz1973 wrote:Apart from that, all things seem to be good to go even though this seems like a very poor draft from you.
koontz1973 wrote:After CSFR and The Great War, I am surprised to see this as it is.
are you joking? you was the second one who was against The Great War.
and what is criterion for "good adition tot he site"?
so you can also ask in Poker Club, Chinese Checkers, Monsters, Patch Wars, Chrsitmas
koontz1973 wrote:The two drafts for those maps where great and compared to this one, that is why I was surprised.
koontz1973 wrote:I was never against the great war map.
koontz1973 wrote:I agree with nobodies that we already have a map like this, so do we really need another?
koontz1973 wrote:We can ask a lot of things of previous maps, but those have already been made. Just because it has been done before, it may not be allowed to be done again.
koontz1973 wrote:Oneyed, you are trying to twist everything I say to be against you, and that is not the case.
koontz1973 wrote:Go and re read what I said about TGW and you will not see anything in my post that is against it. Just advice on how it could get better.
Seamus76 wrote::lol: I think the title of this map says it all. Guys, don't get irritated, especially Oneyed. There is no need to take things so seriously or personal.
Seamus76 wrote:plus like you say this is Map Ideas, and this is the place ideas are supposed to be torn down, and if they have legs stand back up and move forward.
Seamus76 wrote:As for the map, and sorry to say, but I'm not a fan of Chinese Checkers, or those other maps mentioned, so I don't see myself picking this one much.
Seamus76 wrote:That being said, I know there are a lot of people who do, and if you look at the other maps thread there were a lot of people that support it as well. But again, the community will push you to either make the best map you can, or bin it and try a different map.

generalhead wrote:if not we would be playing on maps like this.
generalhead wrote:I Actually like this one better that Chinese Checkers, can we trade them out this one for Chinese Checkers?
This map has better game play option.
generalhead wrote:My only question would be with the skinny attack route would there be a lot of Bottle necking going on?
Or even a lot of stalemates where there is no where to go so people just build troops?
generalhead wrote:This is my own personal opinion, but I think your geographical maps are awesome, I would like to see more of your works on geographical maps and less on boared game maps.
generalhead wrote:This doesn't have any thing to do with the map, but my son says they are called board games because they are boring. He says he gets bored playing them.
He is eight, it is a good joke coming from an eight year old.

Dukasaur wrote:I like the new draft, with the hands and all.
Dukasaur wrote:This will probably never be on my favourites list. But then, Poker Club and Chinese Checkers won't be, either.
Dukasaur wrote:For those who like the game-board maps, this is a good addition.
