Mainly, I'm just hoping to bypass that pesky 2 map limit by having someone else do the gameplay and put the map through the foundry on his name
...Well, we don't have a vanilla moon map either, and we're still making a moon map based on a futuristic war. So I for one would have no problem with a futuristic battle scene on the antarctic... really, anything goes, as long as I can put in some penguins
I have some stuff Im gonna scan in america tomorrow and put in paint.net and touch up and send you.

I've got a couple of ideas for it, but I must admit that I completely and utterly lack graphical skills. MS Paint will really be the best that I can do, but if that works for you then I'll give it a go.
natty, you've already got one idea from The Bison King, and sounds like a second coming from AoN. I'll try to get my idea done tonight or in the next couple of days, and then you'll have 3 choices to choose from. I'll commit to running with it all the way through as a true partnership if you choose my ideas. Ultimately though, as the artist, it's your map and your choice on which gameplay to go with.

No scanners in Mexico?
natty_dread wrote:Hmm.... Hmm... Hm. Anyone remember a 90:s something PC game called Worms? There were these worms with all kinds of weapons, each player had a team of 4 worms which you could control on their turn (it was turn based) and use the various weapons to shoot the opponent's worms. If we would replace the worms with penguins, the map could be filled with penguins with various weapons and each penguin with different weapons could attack the other penguins differently... eh...
Too weird?

--Andy
Rock surface of Antarctica and sea ground without its ice-shield, from 60 to 90 degrees South. This map does not consider that sea level would rise because of the melted ice, nor that the landmass would rise by several hundred meters over a few tens of thousands of years after the weight of the ice was no longer depressing the landmass.
Since Das Schloss failed as an Objective-only map, I don't think CC will allow anyone to go that route again.
I'm thinking some sort of weather station that can send a blizzard in on them, but that sounds rather hokey to me.
The Research Stations will grant bonuses, and will not be subject to troop decay like "normal" territories.
Let me know if you like the premise and I'll flesh it out a bit more. Otherwise I can scrap it and move on to idea #2.

Sort of like the arctic map? This would be a neat idea, except for size restrictions. Ever notice how the ice cap is only 3 territories in the arctic map?
natty_dread wrote:Your draft also looks good, although some of the smaller territories worry me a bit - the amount of territories may have to be cut down somewhat... remember that a small version must also be made, and army numbers must be able to fit - along with territory names.
