I have an idea for a great new build-up map
700AD
It will be featuring Asia, Europe, and some of northern Africa. It will have all of the kingdoms that were at war at that time in history. At that point, the barbarians, Vikings, Monguls, Japenese, Arab, and several other empires were all getting their start and going to war. Each player will start on one territory where the leader/start of that empire was (gengis khan of the monguls, Scandinavia for the vinkings etc.) Each kingdom will have different strengths and weakness based on what they actually were. (the ones that invented bows+arrows will be able to bombard when on their turf, the ones with horses can attack up to 2 or 3 territorys away on their turf etc.)
Their are a few differences between this and the other buildups already quenched. First, this is based off something real and I feel that this gives it more appeal. second, im not trying to make it so that the starting points are so equal. It will be fair, but the gameplay on the area of the different castles will be totally different.
I hope that someone more talented in graphics and map makng sees the genuis behind this idea.
