We Need New Maps

[Unit_2]

Hola everybody!

I've been gone for a while and haven't been that busy. I've gotten back into CC and the Foundry, and I've noticed very few well designed game play maps. At least two of them are far beyond comprehensible. 300 territories anyone?

So, I've come up with an idea. If any of you would be willing to stick to a map, I would gladly be willing to make a map up until the graphics kick in. That is where I will need the help. My offer to you is this; I will do everything pertaining to the map. All you would have to do is the graphics along with getting them approved.

With that said, would any of you like to volunteer to help do the graphics of a map?

Very few well designed game play maps? I feel like looking over the poll of maps in 2010, there are quite a few that have average, above-average, and good game play.

I think he was getting at is there needs to be more coming out right now perhaps?

That, along with the "Real" Gameplay I am used to. Not the 400 some territory and 70 hexagons, etc. It's not a real life place or a fictional map that you can fight over.

[natty dread]

What is "real" gameplay anyway? Diversity is an asset. If all the maps had the "standard" gameplay with no variation, the site would get boring very quickly.

And there's only one map with 400 territories. Most recently made maps are in the medium or medium-large category (40-80).

[greenoaks]

it is not how big your map is, it is how you play it that matters

[Unit_2]

Both of you are right. Variational maps are key, but there is just too much with these ones. That's also not the reason I'm really here, it's to make a map of something so people can enjoy playing it

Unit what is your idea for a map? That might help someone decide if the want to stick through the graphics fir the year or so it will take

[QoH]

And what exactly would we have to do with the graphics?

If this is a map idea, then hit us with it and I'll put the thread in the right place...

[Unit_2]

It will depend, I am researching some areas right now. Graphics would include putting all the graphic work into it. I will make the base map(territory outline, name, bonus, cont, XML, etc.).

Hey, you know what would make a cool map? Dubai.



Artificial islands shaped like palm trees and world maps... would make a fun looking map!

Dubai's islands never looked like Palm trees to me... they look like bones and ribcages. But, it would be an interesting map.

[natty dread]

Or how about a map of just the "world" islands? It would be like another world map, except it wouldn't be a map of the world, it would be a map of a part of dubai

Still looks like bones to me... but Dubai as a whole might be cool.

Actually... I've been thinking a standard Persian Gulf would be quite awesome. Lots of different countries there... none of which need to be portrayed in compete.

The Arabian Peninsula itself I think calls out for a map.

Either an early historical (like Muhammad's conquest) , late historical (18-19th century), or even modern day map would be cool:


early historical

late historical

modern day
