new look Crossword 1.1 [Vacation]

Postby WL_southerner on Thu Oct 11, 2007 1:44 pm

even lo i like the crossword map we got now its only really good for 4 players, so i came up with this idea it should be good for 6 players plus

ok with room problems on crossword 2.0 maybe it might need to be
put on hold till there are more pixels to the small map before we can move on with this one, but
in the mean time i have this back up crossword 1.1 with 78 lines
(countrys )
this is a small map (600x600)

Image

and the large map (800x800)

I think the reason that most people don't play Crossword is that it's slightly confusing and EXTREMELY easy to mis-deploy. Your new map is interesting as it has more territories, but it is also 100% symmetrical. I personally am not opposed to that, but most people around here don't like it so much.

With the low #s for current Crossword games, you should probably re-title this "Crossword Map Revamp" and put a poll asking people:

I play Crossword as is.
I Would play more if it were updated like this.
No, I don't like Crossword Maps.
Do you care?

It could always be Crossword 2.0, that way people could play the original with less countries, and the new one with more....but I do like the idea of a new map :D

this idea looks promising will post my detailed thoughts tomorrow
Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.

the crossword map has the least number of games. i think that's a pretty good indicator of how many people like it. do you really think we need another one? :roll:

if this is going to move forward you should do a bit of research into why people don't play the current crossword map so you avoid the same traps. This map could potentially have all of the problems of crossword PLUS all of the problems of symmetrical maps, which many users hate.
