Condensed Map Ideas

[ivoK]

ny would be awesome if it were done like san francisco; satellite image kinda thing!

How I'd do the bonuses:

Yellow: 2
Cyan: 2
Green: 3
Blue: 4-5, not sure
Purple: 2-3, depends on if river is impassable
Red: 2

However, I think you should definitely add some more territories so there's not as many "Australias" (really small continents).

I thought about that, but first of all its someone else's idea and I don't want to steal it, and also New York is WAY bigger than San Francisco so it would be much harder to get a picture that encompasses all of it and still has all the cool details.

I think the layout of the map is excellent. Some of the bonuses don't seem to work out.

Particularly, The Bronx.

With the Bronx, If you hold it, all you have to do is take Harlem and East Harlem, and you only have 2 border countries. I'd suggest knocking this down a bit, like a 4.

Yeah, I missed that originally. 4 sounds good to me. What others don't seem to work?

[plysprtz]

you would have to make it really unique because this looks like every other map

[plysprtz]

haha i remember this didnt i TRY and help you out

Now this is a NY Map.. I like it.. Keep going Clean it up some Maybe different colors or something like the san francisco map

[plysprtz]

this is called block land but there is clearly a hexagon in the middle hmmm

1. It's an octagon.

2. It's an octagonal block.

Anyway, I'm on the fence about this map now, but the updates people have suggested will definitely improve it.

octagon whatever

octoganal block hmmm seems fishy to me

Try the forumla:

Bonus = [Total Territories + Border Territories] / 2.5

For the Bronx, use 4.

(There is wiggle room with that forumla though. For example, West Queens comes out at 4, but because its right in the middle of the map, 5 might be better.)

I'm working on a Star Wars map. I posted a draft of it earlier back somewhere. I was doing one of the galaxy though. I'm not sure if more than one map from the same universe will pass through, but if you would like to do a ground battle one, that would be cool. I hit an unexpected snag when I moved back to my parents house and got trapped with dial-up, but I'm still making some progress.

the citadel is worth too much...

you could start out in there and get the biggest unfair advantage unless you start it as a neutral anytime, either way owning just one place and having it worth 5 is too much sorry...


and its too much like circus maximus, its a good idea but... i wouldn't play it sorry...

[AndyDufresne]

I'm not sure about this idea...it doesn't have any appeal to me.

Andy keeps that ready to copy paste into all the new maps.

speaking of names, what is with them? the names should be related to the theme, but these are like...i don't even know...greek names?

They all seem to be related to geometry or mathematicians who contributed to the field, so they do keep to the theme. However, a few of them seem to be nothing more than mutilations of actual geometry terms intended to match other Greek origin words on the map, something that doesn't seem to fit.

This is more along the lines of what my original vision was.

I don't know what I want the bonuses to be yet, but I had a few ideas to make the map more unique.

#1 The cars in the parking lot have a corresponding color inside the store, as253504 and I think that there should be a +1 (maybe 2) bonus if you can hold your territory and the same colored car.

#2 The slightly darker green section (The section devoted to people) could possibly have a +8 or 10 bonus because of the fact that three of the territories are not connected to the main part of the territory.

The map, at the moment has 60 territories, so that puts it slightly larger than the average map. Any new opinions would be great!
