}:D Conquer Club RIOT! }:D [Abandoned]

Post by water_foul »

This map would introduce some interesting game play so before you dismiss it please read the whole thread

Heres are some initial sketchs (I will be using them for explination):
ImageImage

Keep in mind that IS a sketch, the final product will have a different layout

OK so heres how it works:
  • Every 1 starts with a "cop" (blue guys) and must take rioter in order to grow
  • There will be "islands" of cops as if they got surrounded along with cops around the edges
  • When taking "rioters" (the red guys) you must take an entire area (separated by black lines in the sketch) IN 1 TURN or else all of your guys will be DESTROYED and a pre-set amount of neutrals will be put in their place
  • Other aspects could be added like tear gas or batons

Pros:
  • Would cause people to need to save up troops in order to attack each other
  • puts a whole new meaning on neutral buffer :twisted:
Cons
  • Would require a lot of territories
So what do ya think? I will try to keep the pros-cons lists updates

it's kindof like prison riot, but not quite... i'm not sure if it will work. it's kindof on luck though: hope the dice will be kind to be able to get the areas of rioters. there's not much strategy to it that i can see.
i shoudn't really vote because i'm more of a maybe, not definate yes or no :)

Reasons why I'm just not seeing this map happening:
- The XML can't selectively be killer neutral
- Even if it was, dice would dictate victors on this game (bad idea)
- The concept is barebones (and no, doesn't have anything to do with the sketch)

Is there any chance you could focus on the Berlin Blockade map you proposed? That one has some promise behind it. Keep in mind that there are only so many projects a mapmaker can do at once (unless you're cairns, he's superhuman or something).

I agree with the other posters.
The dice would play a HUGE part in this map, and many people just don't like that.
imagine using 30 armies to try and take a section of rioters that your opponent owns, only to come up 1 or 2 armies short, and have everything you worked for turn back to neutrals. it seems like that would get frustrating very quickly.

Also, you wouldn't be able to hold a section easily. If your opponent even takes just one of the places you own, all the others in that section will turn to neutrals, destroying all of the armies you had built up to defend. (unless I don't understand how the neutral thing will work on this map...)
