STRATEGO

[jefjef]

Remember this board game? Kind a like chess with more hexes & lakes & bombs & flags & soldiers of diff ranks. Make a great game & should be easy to make. Could make it a capture the flags win objective.

yeah i know that one i downloaded it on my phone once it was awesome

[phantomzero]

that was one of my fav strategy games growing up. might make a cool map idea...

is it copyrighted?

[sully800]

Yes, it is a copyrighted game... but it is also a completely different game than the global domination we are familiar with.

The map can be made original quite easily. The pieces were just military ranks and it would be great to use CC's ranks in place of the stratego ones. The gameplay would be very different since, as stated, they are two very different games.

I don't see any real copyright problem if you use Stratego as an influence for a CC map. It shouldn't be called stratego, but it would basically be war on a grid laid over an image.

Who hacked AADOMM…

But really, this'd be pretty sweet; I see auto-deploys and weird borders working great.

is it copyrighted?

yeah, a small company called HASBRO... i would steer clear... plus metaforge already has an online version that pretty much kicks ass... great idea, but stratego is a bit more complicated than the gameplay would allow here... it would have to be it's own separate type of gameplay, etc...-0

This really could be a fun 2 player only map, but I think they still aren't allowing such things. Granted you would know where the flag is, even in foggy games, because it would always be the same. BUT you wouldn't know where the enemy is stacking troops which could be similar to uncovering bombs/spies/field marshalls.

It would be very different than Hasbro's stratego but I could see it being fun. 2 player only though!

Actually the tert total would be much better than a few other maps such as duck & run & Luxembourg.

Hmm, maybe only being the attack terrts next to you, as q
well as lower ranked pieces of the opposite color. Freemium vs. Premium

Also, in a board game collection video game, to avoid copyright, they just called it
"field tatics" which sounds pretty cool, and would avoid our stratego problem.

[sully800]

Just brainstorming here, but if the army men idea doesn't ever come to fruition this map could be a good place to combine the ideas. Have a background grid with army men as pieces

[sinctheassasin]

This is how the pieces should be assigned:
recruit - spy ( may one way attack field marshals)
cook- engineer (may one way attack bombs
cadet- level 1 soldier ( may one way attack ranks above)

all of the following may one way attack all of the ranks above them on the list
Private first class- level 2
corperal first class- level 3
sargeant first class- level 4
lieutenant- level 5
Captain- level 6
major- level 7
Colonal- level 8
brigiladier- level 9

field marshal- field marshal ( may one way attack all except flag and spy.
Conqueror- flag ( starts with 100 neutrals, holding it wins game, may onlybe attack adjecently. May not attack.)

for the bombs, we could put "mod" in big letters ( may only attack adjecently, maybe gets five auto deploy?)

well, those are the rules I drew up, I'm not sure how it should start tho

[jefjef]

Bonuses could be hold all Generals - same color.. Hold all Col. - same color Hold all Majors - same color.. etc.... Or hold like a platoon/squad. Gen-Col-Maj-capt-Lt-Sarge etc.... Or just map areas.... Make the flags like 10 Neutral..
