you should try to change the names and eventually attach another continent cause the map is very small, instead of Loyalist try The rogues or The mods, maybe even multi hunters :wink:

not to burst your bubble...but...

a mars map is a good idea...however, one with regions named after your clan doesnt have appeal to anyone outside of your clan...for this to have general appeal to the majority of people who play on CC I think you need to ditch that concept.

I think it should have appeal....The region of risk clan is the biggest on CC site...Instead of martian sounding names we are letting people choose their own country name :)

I agree completely. The Mars idea is actually a very interesting one, and a really good map could be made on this tip, but naming the areas after clans / forum members or whatever completely ruins any kind of theme. You'd be better off making some kind of 'forum wars' map to include these kinds of things, and leave the Mars idea to someone who really wants to give it all the sci-fi details it deserves (or do that yourself). Its too much of a mixing pot of ideas at the moment.

I still don't like 'loyalists' and 'revolutionaries'. Change them to something more CC-ey.

The map is being made for our clan and the loyalists are the ones who stayed in through the revolution and the revolutionists are the ones who left.

whether you are the biggest clan or the smallest doesnt matter, i know nothing about your clan but I can assume you are a extremely small percentage of the total CC users...

i see no way you can ever get this map quenched with the current naming system...

If you read the How to make a map thread you will see that it can be quenched....Im sure there is more appeal to this map than a African map where only a few people come from for example...

Its actually good community skills and it has got my clan buzzing like never before, which is a good thing!!!

I would prefer to keep it on a Martian only theme after reviewing the response from yourself and others but will wait and see what the response is from my clan members!!

I will coment later, after i see reaction of foreman in these clans map idea. I think that yours idea will not get approwal from Andy, because map can not be quenched from clans(even if clans have 1000 members) but only can be quenched from side of 1 man. Sad but real true.

if it dont get his approval so be it...I will just continue with the Martian theme...I already got another version ready.

If anybody would like to name a country that would be cool...It has to have a martian or spacey feel about it.

I would prefer one country name per person so that everyone gets a little of the rock :)

um the textures are mediocre at best. i think that the land one is okay, but the water has to be more watery, and more different from the land texture.

This map doesn't get any support from me until you add the research station from the Doom series.

These are my suggestions

Overall:
those Nuclear things, change them to asteroid inpacts (as they likely are) and make the "plus" a "+"
GET SOME NAMES (made up or real ones)

Spamalot:

mafia:

Anti-Spamalot:

Loyalists:
Redo the territories, make them horizontal then now that vertical territorie

EDIT: have to gom finish later!!!!

You've been warned qwert, keep your trolling out of the Map Foundry.

i HAVE ADDED A NEW VERSION.

I have decided to just stick with the Mars Theme. Because i think its a unique theme and shouldnt be confused with names that dont fit into its theme.

You get + 2 armies for any continent you own and then you get more armies if you own certain icons. So this map isnt just about getting continents and has a dded game style.

Im not so keen on the legend and will try my hardest o improve it!!

I like the colour scheme because i think its unique.

Do you think i should add more countries?

Comments would be helpful to see if im moving in the right direction
