I have been thinking about risk way too much lately! So I'm not really the guy to do this but here's a couple ideas just for fun- throw any more out there if you have em.

My fav idea is Saddam in a spider hole set to 15 neutral and the attackers are different countries from the coalition of the willing all trying to get the credit.

I have some other lame ones- example- me and my lady used to play farmville... LAME but there's probably a pretty cool concept in there

what are your ideas?

This belongs in the Melting Pot, as it's a set of map ideas.

You guys are no fun. I guess I was the same way in my early 20's when i messageboarded a lot. Saying everything was lame. Sorry for posting on the wrong thing btw.

so I was playing Conquer Club University. They should add a "bitch house" where people complain about bad dice or the way someone else is playing :D

I once wrote a thread called how to have good ideas for maps.

Saddam in a spider hole? Why not bin laden in a blender...

The problem with it is that it's disrespectful to the dead. CC is an international site, and we don't need this jingoist bullshit here... The conflict between USA and Iraq is still too recent and way too controversial.


Farmville, well... first of all, it's copyrighted material, so your map would basically amount to "a farm" after removing any possible copyright infringements. So you'd have a map of a farm. Personally, that doesn't strike as too exciting to me. What with it being a farm and everything... cabbage field assaults hay barn, pig sty resets to neutral... yawn.

LOL. I worked for a while on a map based on the children's song "Old MacDonald's Farm". Chickens, ducks, horses, cows, pigs, plus alfalfa and maize. I showed the whole ecosystem excluding the slaughterhouse. The pig dung helped the alfalfa grow. The alfalfa fed the horses. Their dung helped the corn grow, which fed the pigs and chickens, and so on. Lots of one-way crap arrows. It was hopeless.
