a cool map to make would be the world put low areas under water have some flying bases as the to go in bwtween conentents maby a moon base (on one of thoes side mini maps) with a link to mid usa or russia and put a few holes where big cities used to be if you get my meaning and make small outling towns in each region for new cities the cities haveing a certin vaule and then split thr bounses so asaia would be like 4 countents and the uas like

[TheRisker]

also antartica could be made a large component sence the ice will be melted so it would become #1 resorce area in the world
plz let me know what you think

[sinctheassasin]

Possibly a plain old map with no special features.

Anybody here play Tom clancy's "endwar" ?

Basically just a hugeass war between the USA, the EU, and Russia...

This would be a cool map if there were a lot of territories, and holding a superpower would get you a bonus a la arms race

of course, you would hav minor world powers, like the middle east, south America, austrailia...

Story would be something about oil, and everybody sudennly wants to whoop eachothers asses. ( I would actually like to see that quoted on the actual draft

Meh, kinda created my own map idea there, if you don't like it, I'll go start a new thread

[TheRisker]

dfently sounds cool if you go with the countrys with eather mitlary or econmy interst like oil and nucular recores and places like west point and the pentgon being of importance wich could make for all kinds of tertories

[iceco]

Start a world powers map:
- US
- Russia (aka "the commies")
- China
- Japan
- Europe
- India

Probably not related to your idea, though I thought I might as well throw it in the ring here.

[TheRisker]

most of the powers make sneice i am wondering your reason for inda also i think divideing thoes would make more terotories therby makeing a better larg map plz let me know what you think

If you want to do 8, I'd maybe throw in the UNASUR and some kind of Middle Eastern Alliance.

Would this then be kind of like the Europe 1914 map where the great powers are all next to each other but you don't really care about the rest of the world?

duh.... turn 7, as the americans. I kicked those Russian/EU bastards hard.

back on topic.... what about a future arms race, where we not only have the US and Russia, but Europe, the middle east, north korea, and all of their warheads? I guess India and some countries in south america could be in it too

I think China's a little more probable than North Korea as power. Though North Korea, Israel, and maybe I don't know who else could be significant little nuclear elements

[TheRisker]

aggreed i think the powers shoul be usa, russia, europe, middle east, south afcria, brazil, china, (need new cool names) but thoes could the big bouneses and then resources could be like nuclar and oil (any others inmind?) if you controll all same resources it would be big bonus like a monolpy any futher ideas?

Current Nuclear powers are: USA - Russia (& a couple former russian states) - China - India - Pakistan - Israel - France

USA tactical nukes are also located: U.K. - Germany - Sri Lanka - possibly Japan and in every ocean(subs & ships)

Suspected Nuclear powers: Iran - N. Korea - S. Africa - Germany

Probably missed some but that is the current list.

Great idea using resources.. Oil - Food - diamonds - precious metals - population -iron ore - coal etc....

[Evil DIMwit]

Just throwing it out there: You start out with nuclear capitals that give like +10 auto-deploy and can bombard any territory in a certain radius -- they can't reach other capitals, though. Then you have North Korea, Israel, and maybe some warrish nations in Africa and the Americas that start out with like 20 neutrals, and act like nuclear capitals except with a larger range (perhaps they can even hit other nuclear capitals).

[TheRisker]

the rouge nation is cool haveing a larg start army on all ready i think there should be one for every power like isrel for middel est and cuba for usa any other ideas (names for super powers)

[Evil DIMwit]

Well, four rogue nations for eight powers would create scarcity and scarcity is fun.

I actually summed up the "official" world powers.
US and USSR are the first post-WWII world powers, then came China, as it went its separate direction from the communistic USSR. Japan came fourth, as the US heavily invested in them after dropping nukes (their way of saying sorry, I guess), the Japanese mentality made it that they grew faster then the US thought and hoped until they became a world power. Europe only came fifth, after the establishment of the EU in the '60, but are only an economical power, not a military one. India is the officious 6th one and anyone not taking them serious as a competitor is ignorant, as they're really strong and have a lot of money (though 95% of their population has a bad life).
The Arab World isn't a power, they miss the economy. People think they are because of their oil reserves and the media talking about terror, but their indecisiveness makes they are not a player in the global game.

I don't think this can be poured into map form though, but if you fantasise some territory expansions and/or some new world powers that have arisen, you could get your map.

[TheRisker]

Yes So far for the powers i have middle est, Brazil, usa, russia, south afcria, china, oceanina(australia and south pacific) and europe (any cool names for them are welcome) also the resources so far are oil and uranium i need one more i was thinking industry but if you can think a beter one let me know and the rouge bombarders wich can attack captols Cuba (USA, Brazil) Madagascar (Oceanina South Afcria) Mongolia (russia china) Irsal (Europe Middle est) each rouge will have 20 nutrels Each Power Will have a captol and thoes will be evenly shared with all players or stare with 5 nutrles (have not decided any imput would be wecolmed) these can bombard there domain nowhere else if you have any other ideas plz let me know ty

[TheRisker]

Ok I need help first i need some kind of base map secondly i have only two resources oil and urinum ineed one more i was thinking indestury but am not sure also i think i should make the powers USA, Russia, China, Europe, Middel est, South afcria. Brazil oceananeia (aurstrillaa and south picific) each one will have a captol that can bombard any where in its domain i have yet to decide if the captols should start with 5 nutrels or be evenly distrubeted bwtween players also there is also rouge bombarders wish have the power to bombard 2 power captols but start with 20 nutrels on them Cuba (USA Brizail) Madagascar (South Afcria, Oceanina) Mongoalia (russia China) Isral (Europe Middle Est)
any names for powers would be welcome or if you can think of better rouges
if you have any other ideas plz let me know TY

[TheRisker]

sorry for dubble post

[iceco]

As a third resource, you could go with iron or another metal (or more generally "ore"). Countries with lots of them are China, Brazil and Australia.
I also have some difficulties with your list of super powers:
Middle East: I explained in the post above that they hold very little effective power, but as it will probably be a popular demand, I'm ok with their inclusion
South Africa: Only a power in Africa... and rugby. I can bare them being included though, but just to fill up space on the map
Oceania: They have practically no power, they are dependant on the US for the most part.
India: Seriously, they have more reason to be on the list than any of the above
Japan: To be correct, they should be added, but I see that it would be hard to implement because of the small size of their territory.

To RFX (or something similar):
Germany does not have nuclear weapons, nor is it rumoured to have.

[TheRisker]

yes i understand but you also said if you add potential tertory gain and i need to take in to account the closeness of the powers if you bottel half them in asia then if some one has mor tertories in that area the game is alerady over so t tryied to devide the power = but i am welcome on power change if we can spred it up more also i planed for inda on being party of oceaninea due to morden allys and such and ty the third resource will be ore unless anyone has a better idea

Following Evil's suggestion:

If you have lots of powers in clusters as the discussion suggests then the map could feature various sub-maps, a la Arms Race (several sub-maps instead of 2 - US / EU & Russia / The Far East (Ch/Jap/N Kor)/ The Middle East (Isr/Iran/Ind)). Instead of the weapons up the side of the Arms Race map you could have the moon / space attack points, one for each mini-map.

Within each mini-map, the nuclear powers could bombard within a radius around them.

The space / moon attack points could bombard anywhere?

Maybe this is a bit close to Arms Race, although given that map's popularity, no reason why not. That map is popular due to both the warhead feature and due to the seperated mini-maps.

The theme of a partly-destroyed future world could be incorporated into the graphics of the mini-maps.

I don't think this map should follow Arms Race either in the divided frame or bonus structure. Arms Race focuses on two superpowers; this map is looking at a global war. Besides, it'd probably be more space efficient to have everything on one map rather than putting up dividing lines between Russia and China, etc.

Your problems can be solved easily.
- Only use the capitals of the super powers as their base and all other lands around them as "neutral".
- Some creative use of flooded areas and desserts can aid against too powerful areas.
- Remember that Antarctica can be used as extra territs and that even the North pole could be an entirely man made land.

[TheRisker]

how would capitals work in that fassion i mean other then troops ? and for the rouges would less imporent that way plz further explain your idea
