Golf map (Gameplay vote)

[RedFlyingGolf]

The poll creation is being ultra stupid, so post what is better:

Teeboxes, fairways, and greens can all attack each other on the same hole; greens attack teebox of next hole; teebox attack green of previous hole
Teeboxes assault fairways of same hole and previous green; fairways assault greens of same hole; greens assault next hole's teebox
You can attack 3 territories ahead and behind on the teeboxes, fairways, and greens (like a path)
ALL teeboxes, fairways, and greens can attack each other

--
I have seen a few of these, but all seem to have been stalled or abandoned.
I am working on a draft right now, here is how I am planning the map:

9 holes: 2 par-3s, 5 par-4s, and 2 par-5s
A club house with 2 to 4 territories
Lake with 4 territories
Each hole will have territories on the tee box and green, and par 4s will have 1 territory in the fairway, while par 5s will have 2 territories in the fairway

Sounds neat. It'd be really cool if you could work it so the par 3's are worth 3 troops and the par 4's worth 4 troops, and so on.

[RedFlyingGolf]

I will see how that works, it might not work because you might receive too many troops.

[RedFlyingGolf]

I hope to have a draft up by next weekend.

Sounds great...I was thinking that it would be nice to have some sports themed maps, and golf was the first one that came to mind. My thoughts would be to have a driving range that only connects to clubhouse and first tee...clubhouse connects only to 1st tee and 9th green, and driving range. Maybe a beer cart that can connect to any fairway spot. Also, it might be cool to have the lake spot(s) actually do some kind of army deduction much like the center areas of the "Dust Bowl" map. After all, being in the lake should not be a good thing!! Anyway, those are some quick suggestions for you to think about.

[RedFlyingGolf]

I love all of your ideas, and will do my best to implement them all

[scovey]

I'm really excited about having this one to play on. I think the golf theme will get a lot of interest. Thanks for doing all of the hard work, and I hope that you don't mind if I put some more thought into it, and see if there are any other interesting things to try and include.

Thanks,

Don't forget sand traps

[RedFlyingGolf]

Of course, sand traps
My first draft won't include all of these suggestions, I will add them in as time goes on.

[scovey]

RFG...check out how the "San Francisco" map handles the Alcatraz region. Maybe that's the way to have a lake spot in the middle work (one spot). That would seem to be realistic for the golf map.

Also, assuming that you will have the standard layout of two par threes, five par fours, and two par fives, base the bonuses on whether you control all of the holes of each type, with the par fours obviously paying by far the highest bonus. Maybe in addition, pay an extra man or two if you hold the 3's AND 5's, so that the total bonus for those four holes would be close to holding the 4's.

Again, I'm just brainstorming, and all of your work on this will be much appreciated.

hold all 9 holes and you win

[RedFlyingGolf]

That's going to be quite a bit of the map. If everybody REALLY wants an objective, I could maybe have a tournament theme, and have a territory called something like 1st play or trophy and if you hold it you win. Obviously it would have a lot of neutrals.

You should be a rebel and not have an objective. Even so, the "hold all nine holes to win" isn't bad, considering that'd be almost the entire map.

[RedFlyingGolf]

I will think about an objective later.
On the other hand, I won't be able to get a working draft up this weekend, but I will update my progress:

Don't forget to make it large enough

[natty dread]

yeah that's too small...

[40kguy]

maybe every other spot of the map instead of the holes are auto deploy one sence it adds a stroke on everything

[RedFlyingGolf]

Sorry about that. I saw the limits for the final small map and used them, I didn't look at the draft big image limits. I will try and ix it as soon as I can.

[scovey]

Map looks COOL so far. I would vote for holding the 9 golf holes to win...I personally don't like a map with any neutrals other than the leftovers after initial deployment.

[RedFlyingGolf]

Here is the bigger version:

I am still adding sand traps, golf carts, the club house, the beer cart, and the driving range. And obviously territories and bonuses and whatnot.

[scovey]

Looks great!! How would I learn how to make maps for Conquer Club?

[RedFlyingGolf]

I reccommend downloading a program called gimp. Then check out tutorials. They are everywhere, like google, YouTube, and the "Tools, Tutorials, and Guides" sexlction of the map foundry forum. Good luck, and thanks for all your helpful advice on my map

[scovey]

Thanks...i downloaded it, now i'll see if i can learn how to use it. Glad to be of some help on your project. i'm still looking forward to hitting the links when you get finished.

[scovey]

Hey RFG...is there a way I can help to play-test your map once your finished with it, without it counting for/against our games/percentages?
