Sports Map [Idea]

[StevenJ]

Here is how it would work

the map is an ice arena + home / away benches + 2 Penalty boxes
there are 3 refs, 4 defenseman, 6 forwards, 2 goalies, 5 spots in each bench, and 1 in each Penalty Box.

Defenseman can attack anyone on ice but not goalies

Forwards can attack anyone on ice

People in PIM box can attack anyone on ice
(having 1 person in PIM = -1 army, having 1 person / box = +1 army)

Refs can attack anyone but not goalies, and refs cannot be attacked except by the bench entrance

Benches are like this

pretend the o are spots on map
ice arena -> o <- -> o <- -> o <- -> o -> ice arena

I'm willing to do graphics, if someone helps me with XML... I know XML I just dono how the map would fit into that.

I don't really like the idea, but if you put up a rough draft it might change my mind.

way to suck the fun out

I can't find a crying face, but here's a droolie face... either way something's leaking

somebody tried an ice arena map once, but i dont know what happened to it.... although a sports map would be fun


maybe a baseball map, and the batter can bombard the outfield, the pitcher can attack the catcher and any base, and the outfield can only attack the bases closest to them (left field: third base, center field: 2nd base, right field: 1st base) and maybe also some stadium seats and such

i hate baseball

i blame the tigers for my hatred

go wings? haha

this is just an idea, as soon as i got time ill put a rough draft together

the idea of a sports map has come up many times, so it's clearly a popular one... trouble is nobody seems to follow through and make it happen. That and everybody has a different opinion of what sport should be represented (not that there isn't room for more than one!).

If you think you'll be making an attempt I'll leave this thread here, but if it's just going to remain ideas and sports spam it will be moved to the New Ideas thread.

[StevenJ]

I will make an attempt, as soon as some personal family issues are done with, and as soon as I got some time school wise.

Run with the hockey idea - sounds cool - and a little different from whats out there now - and each player color could represent a different team - fresh players coming off the bench would give additional armies etc. - nwo44

i like the idea of something sports related. perhaps there could be a combination of all sports on an actual map of NA. If you put all the teams fromt he major 4 sports as territories, that would be 122. Bonuses could include Holding divisions or conferences of sports or whole sports and/or geographic regions, like SoCal, the Bay Area, New York, New England, etc. I like the bonuses being holding conferences for the sports. That's eight bonuses, but a smaller bonus for divisions would also be good.

f*ck the wings but I do like the idea

StevenJ has moved over to work on the hockey map with RockyMountain, so I'm going locking this topic so it stops getting bumped.
