Map Name: The Battle Of Adwa, March 1st, 1896
Mapmaker(s): vodean
Number of Territories: ~60
Special Features:

sebastopol, the giant cannon which the ethiopians had (did not work very well)
armies must follow paths of actual armies sometimes
like the big, complex war maps, but smaller and simpler

What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made:

it is a cool historical event
could make for some very cool/unusual gameplay options
it is always fun to watch the italians get whooped

Map Image:
none yet... I want to play with ideas and get feedback first. Also probably need to wait until the end of the month and the end of exams.

Sounds like a good idea. Had to look into it. I'd just have The Battle of Adwa as the title. http://www.ethiopianism.info/1684/adwa- ... e-tegegne/

Do you have an idea for a "machine gun" game mechanic?

the battle of Adwa will be the eventual title, its just that some people might want to take a look atm if some big european countries are getting embarrassed. The machine gun and cannon will get a couple extra troops per turn and will be able only to bombard territories owned by the enemy. They will both start off as neutral. A basic image is on the way.
thanks for your input
