The Farm/Barnyard (Version 1-2)

Post by Witt13 »

This is the current info on the map:
Continents: 8
Territories: 39

The tractor starts off neutral, say 5 neutrals... But if you control the tractor, you can attack any brown spot since the tractor can drive around... :D And vice versa, any brown spot can attack the tractor. The tractor gives an auto-deploy +2 at the start of each turn.


My latest map created:

Original idea:
Spoiler
I have no clue if this has been suggested before, but I couldn't find anything about it when I searched for it. But my idea is to create a map of the farm, now this might sound rather blah I admit, but it has some potential I think. :D

Just some ideas to throw out there of what this map could consist of... You have your fields, and a combine to harvest the bonus... Or you could just have the fields and get a bonus, but if you also control the combine, than the bonus is +1 or +2 greater. You can also have your livestock, barn, and farmhouse... Stuff like that, but I open to ideas or critiques of my idea.

sounds like a great idea - but very hard to tell whether it is a map or not without even basic graphics :S

Yeah, I'll try working out something simple to give everyone an idea of what I'm picturing... Though I will admit, I probably won't be the best at making maps, I at least want to try, but if I fail I'll pass it on to someone if needed... :D

I say go for it! I like the concept and if you create a reasonable draft this idea just might work...

Anyway, I'd like to see this go further. It's a good idea — if you can't do the GFX try to get someone else to get it, I like your layout.

Would be great if the map was drawn to look like a real farmyard...

lol, I wish :P

Ok, well it looks like I've gotten a decent amount of support, so I'll try pulling something together... We will see how that goes, don't expect the best though. :D

Start fiddling with getting territories and the attack routes worked out... I am open to suggestions for changes on these!

If you polish up the draft a little this could get moved... and i recommended calling it Barnyard and having the path territs be "path 1, 2 ,3 " or "Driveway 1, 2, 3"

Well all around the road, and maybe all the fields and pastures... But I don't know if it has access to the attic :P What do others think what the tractors attack routes should be?

It isn't really a draft, just an idea put out there so that people understand what I'm thinking in a picture... ;)

I think you need to make a real draft for this map to move any further...
