Apocolypse Europe

Postby happysadfun on Sun Dec 17, 2006 4:12 pm

The antichrist has risen! And it's Lenin's ressurected form! France has been blown up by NATO and formed a new country, diving allotments to politicians who were kicked out of America.

The circles are bombs. Bombs are one-way borders from the coresponding-colored capital to the country where they are placed.

All sections of New France are able to attack each other. New France has no bombs.

1) I can change that. This is a rough draft. Tell me what you think should change, ie: no connection from somehereland to nowhereland, add a territory here....
2) Ok, then what would you suggest?
3) And how can I fix that? Tell me.

First of all, post a larger image- that one is too small to tell what is going on.

After looking at your map, I'd say you have a few axes to grind that might be better expressed at freerepublic...

Although it does have potential, it is extremely confusing :?

1) make it uniqe... i don't think it will be played often when there are 2 europa maps
2)make the map bigger and the dots smaller
3)another background color

Looking at ApocoUS, that's how I got a lot of ideas. And honestly who likes France?

1) Unique how? I can't do like what Jota did by adding Quebec, and there's a few US maps anyway, and they get good playing. How can I make it unique?
2) Will do. It's smaller than I wanted it to be.
3) What color?

Right now, I'm definitely not sold on this idea. There are a lot of great ideas out there waiting for someone to come along, but I'm not buying this concept, at least this early on. My mind can change though, and has before.

I do, man.

Maybe should I make an USA-bombed map ?

The map looks really awful (I know it's a first draft but still). All the names are gut-wrenchingly unfunny. I don't get the dots idea - can everywhere attack hilaryland or is it the other way round? I can't figure out what new France is. Apocalypse not apocolypse.

The dots correspond directly with the capitals. They are "bombs" so to speak.

For example. You see a yellow bomb on Ukraine. This corresponds with Iberia. Iberia's capital, Lisboa, can attack one-way to Ukraine. Lisboa can also attack one-way to Not Ice and Hilaryland.

Greater London Area, the capital of British Isles Alliance, can attack one-way to Moscow, Tyrhenia, and Hilaryland.

Lenin Resurrected As Antichrist, the capital of Soviet Russia, can attack one-way to... ah, crap, I forgot to put its bombs in.

Sevast, the capital of Anti-Soviet Russia, can attack one-way to Bombed-out Sector, BeNeLux, and Hilaryland.

You get the point.

Ok, I can do that... how about playability? What should I tweak?
