Periodic Table of the Elements Map

Probably already suggested but I think it'd be cool.

Obviously, each color is a continent. It could be divided either way, whichever one u think would be better. I'm no programmer, so I'd prefer if someone else did it, but it's a simple enough design that I think I could learn how. But if anybody else wants to take over, go for it.

To keep it from being boring, you'd have to make some elements more powerful. Like Actinium and Lanthanum can attack their entire series. Hydrogen and Helium can bombard everything in their same period (Alkali metals or Noble Gases). Stuff like that. Flesh out "weird" mechanics and bonuses and this could be a good map. Let it be "conquer everything", and it'll be more boring than actually memorizing the real table.

Hate to be the first to asay it but this idea has been suggested a bunch of times and always failed... there are ways to do this map, there were comments an ideas passed but were never implemented.... I suggest you read those posts and THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX... with this map idea.... there are many versions of the periodic table and a few would make a better more interesting map both visually and for Game play....

Just to let you know... Every other attempt Did the exact same layout you posted and they never wanted or listened to suggestions about visuals... and they ALL Failed.... Go on google type in Periodic table and look at the images.... you will find Spherical. Spiral, Hex grids..... Try one of those. And if you need any other help advice shoot me a PM. Good luck

I like this idea. I always seem to like ideas that are 'out of the box'. The only thing that would keep me from playing this game is the 'artwork'. It's a cool idea ... it could LOOK cool too.

the bonuses could be: 1 whole color, set amount of armies
every 4 or so of 1 color a set amount of armies
1 of each color a set amount of armies.

this is very different though from the other maps, i like it!
