Condensed Map Ideas

[dominationnation]

Im working on a few solutions to some of the proboblems and will put a small upate (gameplay wise not graphics) in the next few days

I was thinking about this or a Mediterranean Sea map after I finish my Global Warming map. I'll pick it up if no one else does.

That would be sweet! invade the communists

[forest gump]

This looks like it could be a good map. Just an idea, but maybe you could add nuke silos that would be similar to the heli pads in king of the mountan.

That's the USSR plus the Warsaw Pact countries, right? Maybe those countries could be added in somehow.

That's the USSR plus the Warsaw Pact countries, right? Maybe those countries could be added in somehow.

Sorry, but that's a bad idea. It's a USSR map, not a Warsaw Pact map. "The USSR grew to contain 15 constituent or "union republics" by 1956: Armenian SSR, Azerbaijan SSR, Byelorussian SSR, Estonian SSR, Georgian SSR, Kazakh SSR, Kyrgyz SSR, Latvian SSR, Lithuanian SSR, Moldavian SSR, Russian SFSR, Tajik SSR, Turkmen SSR, Ukrainian SSR, and Uzbek SSR" <- Straight from wikipedia.com.

I also known that militarily the USSR was divided into Military Districts. I'm not sure if there were fewer than 15 but if so they could be a good division of the map.

The USSR was huge though and I only hope the map restrictions will let you do it justice.

Don't forget also that the USSR was the old Russian Empire and compared to the other "union republics" Russia itself was huge. Russia woud need to be divided into 2 or 3 regions to make the game more even.

Also, post a map with some ideas. The only map in here is an incorrect one that's been posted twice by someone else.

A new map consisting of 71 places divided up among 8 continents. North America made up of 14 places worth 7 armies, Central America 5 places worth 3 armies, South America 5 places worth 3 armies, Europe 10 places worth 7 armies, Africa 8 places worth 5 armies, Middle East 5 places worth 3 armies, Asia 17 places worth 9 armies, and Australia 7 places worth 5 armies. Names of places are: N.America Alaska Yukon NorthwestTerritory Greenland BritishColumbia Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba Ontario Quebec WesternUnitedStates MidwesternUnitedStates CentralUnitedStates EasternUnitedStates, C.America Mexico Caribbean Panama Columbia Venezuela, S.America Peru Amazon Bolivia Brasilia Argentina, Europe Iceland Norway Sweden Finland GreatBritain Germany Ukraine Spain France Italy, Africa Sahara Libya NorthAfrica Sudan Congo EastAfrica SouthAfrica Madagascar, MiddleEast Turkey Iran Iraq Egypt SaudiArabia, Asia Moskva Ural Siberia Yakutsk Irkutsk Kamchatka Kazakhstan TibetChina Mongolia SoutheastChina Japan Afghanistan Pakistan India Thailand Vietnam Philippines, Australia Indonesia NewGuinea WesternAustralia CentralAustralia EasternAustralia Newzealand Hawaii.

The New World?
Wouldn't that only classify the Americas? As they were classified as the New World by the Europeans?

[ElijahThomas]

i think itd be cool if somebody made a map of the planet Arrakis from Frank Herbert's Dune series. The original desert before they started adding water and plants and stuff.

i have a few suggestions for 'Continents' they could be organised into the different factions who have a foothold on dune.
- House Atreides
- House Harkonnen
- Fremen
- Smugglers
- Minor Factions with Arrakis holdings (Spacing Guild, Bene Gesserit, Ix, Honoured Matres etc)

I enjoy clicking on polls.

Also, to get around the copyright why not base it on Harry Potter, and set it inside an old castle? you could make it similar enough to Hogwarts, and it would give you a bit of freedom with design (i don't believe i've ever seen a proper map of the school, but i'm not that big a fan of the series.)

[Solong]

No, the single image is a pretty bad limitation and as wisse said theres the copyright. Maybe a DK map could use the layout from Donkey Kong Country or DK 64?

[Mikells]

i think this is a superb idea. big fan of dune and it wud give me great pleasure to play as house harkonnen and crush house atreides

There already is the classic map and world 2.1

what is the point of another?

It is in the begginging phases from colemon(I think).

This idea has been done before and is fully functional on a similar website (a competitor of cc). It's actually pretty cool and, despite some of the naysayers on this page, it works well strategically. You see the front and back images of the guy (yep, it's a guy) and the images are connected through the hands. Continents consist of legs, arms, stomach, head/neck, pecs, back, and ass regions. Just thought I'd lay the matter to rest over whether or not it's possible.

[War Ape]

How about a map consisting of a big snowball fight with several different forts? The forts could be the continents and the snowballs could be the link that connects them. The round snowballs would also work perfectly for the army markers.

This is just an idea I had and since I have no artistic skill whatsoever I do not intend to actually make it. If someone wants to take the idea and run with it, please do.

Thoughts?

[sfhbballnut]

copyright wouldn't really be a problem as there is no official map of hogwarts and grounds and names would be easy enough to get around, but I still don't think much that can be done concerining especialy without a very skilled cartographer

[PMega]

Well, being an ardent student of medicine, I was actually planning on internal organs.

[forest gump]

what site?

[Keredrex]

you could do a map of the skeletal system... or circulatory system ... something like that .. that is also informative

[Dylan-DeSoto]

any interest in this?

looks interesting howver im not sure twhat this network is. Perhaps you could give some more information on it?

[gimil]

rotate a 45 degree angle and take away the surroundign crap and there potential.

with the vast amount of water in this map there plenty of roon for terr naems which means this could have potential to be a large map. 50+ terrs maby?

[Solong]

My first thoughts of this were of a train network...actually that might not be a bad idea....

But a websearch tells me...its a next generation data network correct?

The map design i think is good, colour scheme seems to work, its perhaps a little clustered but i understand its a draft. Are you planning on any differences between the interconnectors/traffic nodes/regenerators?
