Alphabet Soup

[L M S]

I had an idea for a map.... was wondering if this was the place to post to discuss. Here we go, don't laugh at me too much if I suck......
It is sort of a "Scrabble" meets "Risk" idea. Based on the English alphabet..... kind of a bowl of "Alphabet Soup" concept. Conquer letters as you would territories, use them to spell words on the side to collect bonuses.... Maybe hold all vowels for bonus, or have a set of "spoons" as neutrals to start off with that can bombard any territory....Win conditions set if you hold a certain word/phrase for a round......some words/or letter combination's would cause you to LOSE armies rather than gain them....... not sure really just off the top of my head right now really, any thoughts or do I suck and should I just stick to playing the game......

I'll move your thread to the map ideas subforum

I like this idea.

You do it simple with a pile of scrabble type tiles that were overlapping and touching on certain edges to make a unique map that isn't just a grid and then along the side you could have words that you could attack individual letters from the corresponding letter on the main map. The words would act like continents and grant bonuses if you could conquer and keep a whole word.

I might be interested in concepting the map and possibly working on it after I get "Monsters" the gameplay and xml stamps in the foundry.
