Viking Invasion

[theBastard]

hi, I like the idea here.
I´ve tried to do map and game about Viking Invasion to Britain. map includes Ireland, Britain, Hebrydes, Orcades and small part of Norway and Denmark.
now I try to describe game idea.
map will be divided between 12 Kingdoms. each Kingdom is compound from several regions. at the start player can choose for which Kingdom he want play.
his position will be in several (2 - 3) regions of Kingdom, the rest Kingdom´s regions will be neutral. at the start of game player will have 3 units in every region.
every player´s region recruit one unit in every turn (regions with bonus will recruit +1 unit). player must move with units to region from which he could attack other region or where he must defend against attack.
when player capture all regions of Kingdom he will have bonus +2, +3 or +4 units and these bonus units can be deployed wher ever player wants (of course only in regions which he holds).
there are also another bonuses when player united more (specific) regions - for example Vikings could make Danelaw when they capture Danelaw´s regions.

is this possible to do? when yes I will post map.
unfortunately I´m not good at english, so sorry for my mistakes.

thanks.

red is not possible, orange is not (yet) possible (or at least not exactly like you described/want it), but maybe possible in the future and green in possible

to zimmah:
o.k., so it is not possible to choose for which Kingdom player will play.
why is not possible to designate starting positions? and must be all regions on the map garrisoned from start?

thanks for your help.

here is map and defined regions (Kingdoms):

It has been suggested that it become possible to have several starting positions be grouped together so that the same player starts with a few different positions every time, but as of now, each starting position is randomly distributed.

it is possible to set starting locations, but a player can never choose, it's just random, also, it's curently not possible to make a 'group' of starting location and make sure 1 player gets that group, but in the future, they may add that option.

and you can also set neutral regions, so not all regions have to be divided from the start.

It is really wide and stretched out. Also, it is very pixleated, what program are you using?

[theBastard]

it is made by Corel. is it good map, you think?

[theBastard]

this project is not dead, but I´m here only one week so at the first I want to learn what is possible and how to do it. after this I will continue on this. if players will have interest.
so if you could post here your ideas on it.

thanks.
