I didn't know I don't usually follow this. So why hasn't anyone done it yet?

If you're going to do it, make it a little more interesting than standard Risk mechanics, like territories that have dinosaurs and cause -1 per turn. Perhaps a mix of AoR and normal Risk. We've got a ton of simple Risk maps as it stands...

just an idea

Post by whitestazn88 »

well, i'm no map maker, but i was thinking of something because of a recent pangea thread that popped up again.

we all know that pangea was some back in the day stuff, but what about the future?

continental drift is a real thing, and at some point, the west coasts of NA and SA will collide with europe and australia or something...

maybe there is a cartographer out there who would be interested in imagining such a place and developing that map.

or not. it's just an idea...

Pangea map

Post by shadowsteel9 »

I think it would be cool for someone to make a pangea map, have it have all the countries as classic, but all joined in one giant landmass, including more countries for antarctic.

This has been attempted - and there are a few threads already out there with this map in development. They may be abandoned though.

Pangea Map [idea]

Post by ThrowinStones »

Lots of people have been talking about it, so I decided to make one. A MAP OF PANGEA!
Let it be known that this is probably the roughest draft one can make. I still need to:
-split each country into sections
-differentiate colors
-make a map key
-and make it generally better and more fun
Please make comments.

There is a theory that Pangea never existed... Check out the link... Apparently a scientist in the 30's came up with this and it has a small following. Very interesting though... It may help you with your pangea map. Good luck

Threadjack here as well... but I really really really loved the pangaea ultima map that was abandoned some time ago. This could serve as inspiration for ThrowinStones as well I guess. Beatiful map. Too bad the map maker's last post was November 2007 :(
