Conquer Star 400+ territs!!!

Postby a.sub on Sat Mar 14, 2009 7:36 pm

So this idea was begun by Sailorseal who wanted a glass mossaic and i went off of that.

BONUSES
  • +1 per two reds
  • +2 per two whites

Starting positions
    All and Only red spot can be owned at the start of a game
    OR
    Only 8 per red section (A, B, C, D & E) all of which are separated by neutrals.

Starting troops
  • Red neutrals will have an army count of 1
  • White neutrals will have an army count of 1
  • players will have a starting army count of 5 per unit to prevent early elimination

NOTE
    in all likelihood, the small version will have no letters and it will be Clicky map only as i doubt we could fit both army numbers and terit name in these

Territory Count
  • Four hundred nine
  • 409
  • 4.09 x 10^2
  • 110011001 (binary)

There's got to be a lot of neutrals to give out an army for every 2 red territories.

any ideas? because there is no way that this map can work on the small with the terr names and i really like the prospect of over 400 terrs so i dont want to make them much bigger :S

I don't like the idea, as I said in the glass post, its just a bunch of territories laid out, no real strategy, and there are too many terits, you might as well just have a square with 400 terits instead of this. :roll: :?

no lets for once have a fun map with few neutrals... if there are any it should be to divide the players area not to occupy the entire map.

And get close to 20-30 armies on the first turn? Doesn't seem too fair to me...

Just reds = 89 territories each = 29 armies. Even more if you got the bonuses listed.

how about city moungl???? you evenly divide out the terriorities and between each area is a line of neutrakls (about 100 per terr) and that will keep players from blowing through each other for the first round.

8 per red section wouldn't work unless if you restrict the game to 6 players or fewer. If you wanted to use this this method for starting positions you'd need to add another 53 red territories to the map or lower it to 6 per red section. I'd still prefer that over just randomized territories though.

sailor and i were talking and we think is should be that there should be like 6-8 available territs per section of red and each player's initial troop count should be around 6ish per place, and all of them will be separated by neutrals to eliminated early kills

I don't like this. It seems like it's just a load of territories for the sake of having lots of territories. It's not often I say this but this is one map I would never play.

i see what you mean well i think you should have it randomized AREAS separated by a line of big neutrals. Do you get what im trying to say???

You don't deploy those armies in City Mogul... They are autodeploys... It's a lot different.
