There would need to be something that makes it unique from al the other eurpoe maps. HEre are some thoughts.

1 there should be some battles and historical events involved.

2 THere should be an inset of colonys for britain and spain to add some territories in their empires.

3 There should be territories on an inset map that represent the three estates and their power struggles. There should be a bonus for holding a majoraty of them.

4 If you control paris and russia there should be a negitive bonus since the russian winter wiped out much of naplean's army.

I kinda agree with Napoleans Empire. But, I was thinking of a British Empire. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... re_red.png

I'd say through ports, like Age of Realms.

Like seeing how the British didn't own the whole world how would you only incorporate the places the Brits owned ›› through ports.

This would create a lot of wasted space.

Actually, In France they released this game a while ago. I got it shipped to the US, but don't have the Ottoman Empire expansion. It's quite neat, you can play regular Risk on it or theres a more scripted Napoleonic Wars game.

Nice idea, but I can't see it happening.
The countries there are way too far apart and some of the territories (particularly for the islands) would be tiny.

The Napoleans Empire idea, though, sounds great :)

I would be delighted to help with the art/graphics, and have all of the tools here.

I've done a quick sketch up based on the map you suggested :

Clicky :)

Tell me what you want to happen from that point and I'll get going.
Where/what do you want your regions to be ?
How many ?
If we used actual country names it would end up looking like the Europe map...

We could have some ships on there as well if you want :)
