by **thewarisnow** on Thu Jun 17, 2010 2:06 am

I have created a very basic map of a cog design . this is an initial design and needs alot of work but i want to if it is worth pur sueing please comment.

Click image to enlarge.

the territories are each point of the cog and in the middle of each cog the will be 4 quarters

the inner quarters can attack each other and adjacent cog points

the cog points can attack adjacent cog points and inner quarters plus any cog point connected by a path

please comment.

It's Good.

Might need a bit more than paint on the graphics front, but the idea is really good and I like it!

Shouldn't the cogs be connected physically, so if you were to turn one all the others would turn too? You could also do ones of different size. Is there any way graphically to make them all DO something, like it was part of a machine or engine?

A way around the cogs/ gears not touching would be to use sprockets and chains as well as gears and make it more of an industrial theme, not simply loose cogs.

This might be a bit premature, but if you do stick with just cogs could you make it have a unique game play feature where each turn the troops shift one spoke around the cog? I don't know if the XML will support it but it could be done similar to an auto deploy.

The XML does not support that at all, cool as it would be.
