260 Million Years BC

I love the way geologists can map present-day political boundaries onto maps of ancient landforms. Here's a map of Western Pangaea during the Permian era showing primarily North America but the corners are: Belorus, Cameroon, Guatemala and Alaska. Would there be interest in a simple game based on a map like this? Has it been tried before? (It seems everything has been at least once!)

Click image to enlarge.

If there's enough interest I'll add this to my list of maps to work on after the two I currently have in the Workshop are done.

Please, instead, do an ancient Dino-themed map! We've long been without one.

I was sad to see this older map idea get shelved:

I've been thinking an earthly evolution map would be great. Showing Pangea and three other time frames with territories being able to attack wherever they are adjacent in any of the four separate maps.

A Dino map would be fun too

LOL. Someone younger than I, and closer to dino-loving years, would have to do the dino map. Or someone with a dino-loving child. But I suppose I might try ripping off "Jurassic Park".

Has anyone every done a theme park game with different rides?

Or maybe as Ryan North to do it

Hope this project makes it

I love this idea. Being able to move through time and space within a single map.

I've also seen XML suggestions that would allow for a map to change over the course of play (after X number of rounds or once an objective was reached). No idea if that will ever be implemented, but this map is ripe for that sort of gameplay.
