[P Gizzle]

[ttocs]

here it is, it is kinda poorly done;


The rivers are in the right position, but continents and countries are off, and should i add more to finland?

Dark blue=rivers
Black=mountians
Red=overwater borders
Brown=lnad borders

P.S. Thanks for the help to post it on

[Herakilla]

if you have an image you can start your own thread and that does look good!

I just had another idea today, what about a computer circut board???
I would have a hard time trying to come up with a design for it, but it might be pretty cool.

Another step further might be to make a map of an entire home computer, including;
-moniter
-keyboard
-speakers
-mouse
-other attachments and parts to a computer

I mean we all use computers, so it might be about time we make a map on one.

P.S. I dont have any experience on making maps, but I would be happy to learn how to make them with a little guidence and help.

A computer map... That's an interesting idea. You could have the motherboard divided up into a couple things, have the drives as one continent... I'm a little short on other ideas for continents, though. Any ideas?

Been thought of before.

Here are 3 that have been to do with computers, all have failed.

That said, I would say no. But it keeps coming up, so you could try again. Eventually someone has to make a good one.

sorry, i didnt know there were other ideas about the computers, sorry.

Well going back to the scandinavia idea...


So does anyone like it or want me to try to do some work on it?

P.S. This was made from paint, it is only to be a rough draft or outline for the map.

[ttocs]

It looks like coup took control of the scandinavia idea, so im putting most of my next posts up there.

How about an underwater world map, like atlanits or locnis?????? This would be kool I think many would like it, I just have no idea how to do it, but it is a thought that I think would attact a bunch too!

[ttocs]

that sounds cool, mabye draw a sketch on paint, and a map maker will be interested to make it

[happysadfun]

I will let the cat out of the bag... i am working on a normandy map

The Hobbit - Lord of the Rings would be a fantastically fun Risk map to play on

[tjjazbec]

Another fun map might include planets from the Star Wars theme:
Nabo, Wookie, Empire, Federation, Rebel Alliance, etc.

[ttocs]

star wars has already been thought of, but try and see if someone will take the hard task of tring to do it

[tjjazbec]

A fun USA map could be based on college NCAA conferences with
regions of the country broken into:
- SEC
- BIG10
- ACC
- WAC
- MTN WEST
- PAC-10 as regions to be conquered
and
individual schools like
- Florida
- Notre Dame
- Texas
- USC
- Colorado
- North Carolina
representing entities like individual countries

Example:
SEC: Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, LSU
PAC10: Washington, USC, UCLA, UofC
WAC: UtahState, Fresno, Boise
MWEST: AirForce (ColoradoSprings), BYU (ProvoUT), Wyoming
BIG10: .... etc.

It might capture the interest of both Risk/ConquerClub fans and sports fans and college students all in a single framework.

Just a thought.

Wish I had time to do it. It would be fun.

Another USA map? We already have 2, and North America map. Why Americans are so egocentric?

[ttocs]

i dont think we are trying to be egocentric, i think everyone in US is trying to think of new ideas, and the best ones we can think of are closest to home

[tjjazbec]

I'm from Canada and I posted that idea because it makes sense just like Lord of the Rings makes sense for those interested in it. Besides, if it would work for College football, why not for World Cup Soccer as well? Its not about political interests its about finding ideas that capture peoples attention. What about breaking a map into regions like they do for World Cup soccer so the regions represented the groups that move someone into the actual tournament? It captures my interest. Anyone else.

I would help you with names and the overall geography, if you mad the US map. or we could make an NFL map and the continents would be the Divisons EX: NFC West= Seahawks, 49ers, Rams and Cardinals. that would be fun. but, i would rather make a huge, like 60 country or more NCAA map

[Kupo666]

Some ideas, if anyone wants them.

Cemetery
Hospital
Ant hill
Hedge maze
Zoo
Sewers
Hotel
Junkyard

This is a little out there, but maybe...


South America?

[nascarfan38124]

a theme park like map could be based on a real one like disneyland or something because disnyland is already broken up into continents and the rides/shops/resturants could be the contries

[ttocs]
