Id very much like to see a working image for this map. I loved the film so i see a little bit of potental here.

Some ideas to think about

1. Use the subway system that played a part in the film.

2. have each warror with its own terr and they get a bonus if help with coney island.

The Warriors Gang

The Turnbull A.C.s: (Also going by the names Turnbulls, Bulls, or A.C.s) A traditional skinhead gang, they travel in large numbers (in a spraypainted bus) and wear denim jackets with matching jeans and patches. Their turf is around Gun Hill Road, in the Bronx. According to Rembrandt, even the Gramercy Riffs are afraid to go toe-to-toe with the bulls.

The Orphans: A bottom-of-the-barrel gang, the Orphans were not invited to Cyrus's conclave, nor even knew about it. Their full strength is about thirty members. They wear green shirts with "ORPHANS" stitched into the back, and blue jeans. Their turf is Tremont. Their leader, Sully, is a self-aware coward, with a weakness for flattery.

The Baseball Furies: (or simply The Furies) A New York Yankees-inspired gang in pinstriped baseball uniforms wielding baseball bats and wearing facial makeup similar to that of the rock group KISS, only multicolored instead of black and white. The Furies are never heard to speak. They are an intimidating presence as they chase the Warriors down, but prove ineffective fighters during the ensuing brawl in Riverside Park; The Furies were created because of Walter Hill's love for baseball. In Greek mythology, the Furies were the embodiment of vengeance.

The Lizzies: An all-female gang, they attempt to seduce the Warriors and lure them into their Bowery apartment to kill them. They are also one of the few gangs with firearms, though they are poor shots. Their name may double as a reference to Lizzie Borden. It may also suggest their lesbian tendencies ("lezzies" being a derogatory slang word for lesbians), which are implied by a suggestive dance scene between two of the gang members. They also represent the mythical Sirens.

The Punks: A gang with a scout who strolls around on rollerskates. The Warriors fight them in a men's room in 14th Street–Union Square subway station. Each member wears denim overalls over a different-colored striped shirt. The Punks are never referred to by name except in the credits. They share Bowery with the Lizzies.

The Rogues: The gang that framed the Warriors for Cyrus’s assassination. They wear primarily deep-blue leathers and drive an old Cadillac hearse. The leader, Luther (David Patrick Kelly), is a small man with extremely violent and psychopathic tendencies. He possesses one of the few firearms seen in the film, but is also something of a coward. The Rogues' turf is Hell's Kitchen.

Gramercy Riffs: A disciplined, well-organized gang from around Gramercy Park, said to be the biggest gang in the city. Cyrus (Roger Hill) was the leader of this gang before he was assassinated. After his death, the second in command, Masai, takes over. They are dressed in karategi; at the end of the film, however, they are seen wearing black t-shirts and matching jeans. The Riffs' members seem to be entirely or almost entirely African-American.

i reckon it would be good to use the poster as a back drop, with the map on top

the gangs all have their own territories - with the warriors somewhere on the main map - should then just centre around manhattan

needs to be good graphically so out of my league - anyone want to take it forward?
