Holiday Universe

Holiday Universe
This is an idea my 9 year old daugter came up with. I thought it was quite unique and original. I see it as a scrapbook of classic school holiday art projects. My daughter surprised me with her original idea. The original was all done in crayons. We made some artwork on the computer and pieced together a pretty good computer copy of her original.
I am interested in your feedback. I am limited with graphics software, so it is a bit rough. Maybe somebody can help me with that.

Looks really good. I like the unique art work for a battle game. :D
My kids are now exited about how to create a map.

Wow, this is really cool. I would definitely want to play this map. Wish I could help with graphics but you've done more than I ever could!

Cool concept, but the text is near unreadable and the graphics are gonna need some work. No turkey for Thanksgiving? Cinco de Mayo? A few more holidays would be cool, looking forward to some more development of this map!

I do not know if this is a good idea for a map. :?

However, considering the current state of development I think, as you yourself admit, you need a teammate to continue to produce a map that meets the currently CC standards. For now it seems more an idea that a real draft.
I'm going move your thread in the ideas subforum, so you'll have the time to refine your graphic skills or you can see if anyone is willing to help you with this idea. ;)

personally, I think that this is a good idea, but you need both more holidays and more territs. Right now, I think that you might get a few complaints from people who celebrate holidays that aren't on here. more territories because whoever goes first might be able to get too good of a position on the first turn. I also think that you should add a couple of continent bonuses. this could also, (if you want to) be turned into a conquer map, where you have to get to "conquer club day" and hold it for a round to win the game. great idea! :D =D>
