Just so no one ends up doing extra work, I have some time, and I can do the first 20 by tonight, so don't work on that, or one us us will end up getting really frustrated at all the time we wasted.
Edit, I have a bunch, but due to computer problems, and vacation, don't not do anything because of me.
Merry Christmas

I noticed Land and Sea is not on that list. I edited my post where I wrote descriptions for my other maps and have made one for Land and Sea too.

Ok I'll type a few.


21. The map of Germany, a highly controversial map among the CC population - many like it, many prefer the original. A revamp will be replacing the graphics of this map shortly.

22. China is a large country. The area known as Greater China represents a huge mixture of ethnic groups and cultures. This map gives you that whole area as a battlefield, and is another excellent choice for small singles games.

23. The Hong Kong region, currently owned by China, has an interesting history, and makes for an interesting map. With relatively simple gameplay, a well balanced map like Hong Kong suits many different game types.

24. The roman empire at it's heyday was the ideal time and place for battle. This map takes you through history, with a cunningly developed gameplay, with many unorthodox solutions. The map might not be ideal for beginners, but great fun for advanced players.

Map name: WWII Australia
Map Description: Also known as the Battle For Australia, this map features the so-called Japanese invasion towards Australia and that of her northern neighbours in WWII. Famous battles including the Coral Sea, Guadalcanal, Bounganville and the attack on Darwin feature here from a Japanese invasion force that is spread widely across the map.
Territories: 66
Starting Territories: 66
Gameplay Features: Standard Gameplay

Map name: Sydney Metro
Map Description: Concepted around simple gameplay attack this map uses buses and harbour ferries to attack across represented Sydney suburbs including the more well-known ones like Bondi and Kings Cross. In places territories border across freeway pedestrian crossing with traffic light indicators. Impassable barriers include the natural harbour and freeway system, with bus depots being able to attack each other thrown in for good measure. A pleasant addition to the Metro Series that is not too complicated.
Territories: 58
Starting Territories: 58
Gameplay Features: Ranged Attacks

Map name: Treasures of Galapagos
Map Description: The Galapagos Islands are starved of water in many places. This, along with diving luggers, and natural fauna treasures that the Isles are famous for, form the concept for a map where everyone starts in the water diving. The objective is to gather as mnay treasures as possible to assist in conquering the map and other players. The allure of the underwater scenery with jelly-like amoeba and island map territory cells make this map one of Cairnswk's most brilliant designs.
Territories: 73
Starting Territories: 9
Gameplay Features: Double dipping, Ranged Attacks, Starting Neutrals, Starting Positions

MrBenn, these had already been done but simply not added to the database, they were in the old thread....I'll get to Forbidden City later this weekend. :)

I suggest we wait until the competition is over to do a German description.
