I have worked in marketing analytics/performance marketing for years and have some thoughts on this topic.

I'll put it into a few key buckets:

Discoverability: .

100% this ^^^

I have checked in on this thread every blue moon just to see the current counts.

Best I can tell there is ...

Nice looking map.
I have two concerns - especially for people playing a round on their phones:
1. Where NO-1 meets up with NO-2. I had to really stare at it to see if NO-1 actually touches NO-3.
2. Also, I suggest making the NO-5 to ES-1 boarder more pronounced. It is way too easy to overlook ...

Great idea. Surveys with a freebie for completing them is an excellent marketing strategy. It seems to me the problem is not so much losing players, since all businesses constantly lose players - the problem is there seems to be nothing being done to add new players. No marketing is being done that ...

I hear what ya'll are saying and ya it should be logical as much as possible. I have faith, we can create enough logic to the joins to make you happy

I m not looking for logic. I just want significantly larger maps to play and think this may be a quicker way to complete a new map

At the moment I am thinking of these connection bridges:
> Pomo connecting to Svalbard and Severnaya Zemlya.
> Tiwanaku to Sakhalin
> Selk'nam to Sulawest

BTW, Victora still exist with the same connections will be located in the ocean somewhat.

I would say the connections between the 2 maps are ...

Map Name: First Nations of EuroAmerica
Mapmaker(s):
Number of Territories: 258ish
Special Features: None!
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: It's large. very large :) My idea is to combine 2 existing maps into a gigantic map. First Nation Americas and Eurasia

How many active members do we have?
what advertising does CC do to attrack new members?

Wow Slankz, that is a fantastic idea!

On the Active games page, I would like to see a 'Chat' icon display for any game where there is a new comment typed in chat for that game.

Ian,
Good feedback. thanks. I ahve changed Eurasia 4 Corners and Eurasia 4 Center scramble both to be escalating.
I also will start some human games.
Thanks again,
Andy

i'm playing Eurasia 4 Corners at the moment. we've reached only round 3, so cannot draw any conclusions, though i believe that ...

Added 2 more versions:
> Eurasia 4 Center Scramble
> Eurasia 5 Player Faceoffs (which I think is the best of the 4 I have done imho)

Yes, currently they are set to beta until I get feedback on them.

thnx for the info. somehow, someway I missed that admin menu with the scenario link?!
I've got 2 eurasia's posted and look forward to everyone's feedback

Map Name: Eurasia
Mapmaker(s): use orginal map
Number of Territories:
Special Features:
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: I want to make a series of scenario games using Eurasia as my map for them. I envision 2, 3, and 4 player games. I have access to beta site already.

amazingly obvious. he has got to be a 12 yr old.
as someone who is only part of this site because i love playing the game of risk - i can't comprehend spending all the time he has to do all this cheating.

completely agree a timestamp is needed.

ian,
obviously i'm an idiot. so explain the map to me. you "believe the diagram is clear to most players." how do you know? Most players have not been on this board yet. kind fo defeats the purpose of beta testing if u blow off feedback.

main issue i am having so far with the map relates with the diagram in top right corner showing Paris & suburbs. I am completely unable to figure out how it maps to the game board and which areas are in Paris vs in a Suburb. Plus, there is no clues given on the diagram that relate to the map. The 3 ...

I've got to say without question Eurasia is my favorite map @ CC! Thank you very much to everyone that created it!!!
graphics and typeface are outstanding.

IF, I could wish - I would want a 2nd version of Eurasia 2.0 with these changes:

* mountains to close off Baikal from North Nei Mongol ...

No, this is not what I want.
Actually, I was just looking for private labels for myself to use to reference the games that I am in. Nobody else would see these labels. For example, I am in 10 games of Eurasia and would like to label one of them "top left" and another "red on right"...
My post got ...

so what happens with this request? Is it reviewed by group or does it just sit here and die since it doesn't have tons of posts about it?

i would like to be able to play up to 12 bots at once

very logical.

i got merged lol
I didn't think this was the same topic since I was not talking about email notifications but I guess it would make since that the nickname I give a game would show in the email too.
