"Your Rope" could work...

Even if the child did pronounce it that way, I think he'd know at least that Europe is one word.

[max is gr8]

I was more referring to the Old Country thing...the N. Americans having European roots.

since europe has europe jr, why not rename germany to "europe" or "europe senior" or "europe the first"

[t.e.c]

this seems to be going round and round in a never ending loop.. an in-europe-inity loop if you will

[RobinJ]

That is why we should just quench it and quit arguing about names cos in a "take the piss" sort of map like this one, you cannot make everybody happy

[JupitersKing]

When I read names on these maps. Europe Jr. and East India are the only 2 that I don't like. A kid would think of China more than India in describing that region, also what's wrong with The Orient?

And I still think Europe should be called Francis in the west and Pole-land in the east.

What about 'History', 'Olden Days' or 'Old Stuff'? Though I liked 'Mexican Speakers' too...

[hulmey]

go put it on land grab already...im sure u will receive 10 out of 10 over there

[fluffybunnykins]

that might be a good way to play test it?!

[Evil DIMwit]

Indeed. Do you think they'd mind greatly?

[hulmey]

think they will love it

[Guilty_Biscuit]

All this arguing over names will never end!!! Everyone has a different idea about what a small kid would call these places because small kids are all at different levels of stupid.

[snufkin]

but the other countries have either slightly funny names or funny borders..

Junior isn´t making me frown or giggle. USA jr would. Or "Girlie flick turf" or Hollywood backdrop.

I think junior is less fun than all the other dozens of suggestions, but
I will shut up if the evil man himself say he definitely wants to keep it..

Hulmey - you confuse me...

In this thread you hate how simple the map is...

Yet in DiM & Mibi's threads you hate how complext the maps are...

Or is it that you are simply against change and progression?

I agree that it's not the best but I can't think of anything better and I'm very much at this point inclined to put an end to this name discussion so I can get on with this map and onto other ones.

I think this map is lucky to have any humor in it whatsoever considering it's automatically above average in that department.

[hulmey]

Just noticed your post here Yeti lol....

there is a difference between having TOO much and having TOO little.....

Maybe with age you will come to understand that

Right on! Finish it off so we can play it!!

germany and egypt are too plain, and i don't like making germany so damn big. since it's eastern europe, maybe it should be "buffer zone."

What 7 year old knows the term "buffer zone"?

The map's done, let's get it posted already!

[Evil DIMwit]

I agree.

I'm terribly sorry that this map is being delayed, but I'm experiencing unfortunate slowdown in changing formats and hopefully I can get the whole thing done soon.


Another issue that I wanted to raise is the basic army grants. Now that the new XML features are in, it's possible to change this to grant, say, a minimum of two armies with an extra or each three, or a minimum of one wih an extra for each two, or anything really. This might be very beneficial -- in Ireland, even, for instance, it's a hassle to get the twelve territories needed for a single extra army. Any thoughts on this sort of thing?

[Risktaker17]

I know we all want to get this map up. But I know when I was little I could never spell egypt right and I would always spell it eygpt. Just one more thing to think about.

I swear she said she was Draft 18:

not addressed:
- ) Any other brilliant ideas

I think now that it is possible (or that it will soon be possible) we should reconsider restructing the troops per turn to so that it starts as 1 or 2 instead of 3.

This would be the code for it (2 to start):

<collection>
<name>Territores</name>
<components>
<component>Canada</component>
<component>USA</component>
<component>Greenland</component>
<component>Andy's Mountains</component>
<component>Brazil</component>
(... you get it list all the territories)
</components>
<bonuses>
<bonus quantity="1">-1</bonus> (-2 for 1 to start)
</bonuses>
</collection>

This will make it so if you hold at least one territory you start with -1 (2 guys). This will mean 3 for 12, 4 for 15 and, well, if you have 18 you win... lol

Can Iraksitan be Boratland? or something with the name "Stan"
