i constantly get this thing with people not playing it cause it has no theme. why is that??
this has a theme. it's a torn parchment. why do people play the other maps? the basic principle of the gameplay is the same. why would a USA map be played more then a fictional map??
if the fictional map offered better gameplay i would definitely chose it.
as far as the graphics go i want the map to look nice but i don't reall need a theme or a certain real location to rely to. but that's probably just me
DiM, all I can tell you about this is the people on this forum are much more concerned with theme and graphics over gameplay than the vast majority of the people on this site. Crossword has a very unique concept, but it ties with Indochina for least played map. It has 1 page of active games. World 2.0 has no theme and no interesting graphics. It has 17 pages of active games. Your theme is way better than World 2.0, so don't worry about mass appeal.
