Tsarist Russia

Post by Strider24 »

Ok this is a bit random but what about doing a map on the Social structure of russia at 1900?

Sorry for doing this on paint but it was the easiest way to show how it could work.

I was thinking that it could be like Circus Maximus where you can only attak upwards. And at the top you can attack down to the bottom (the Tsar attacking the people) and then the military in the middle, We will shoot you, can attack certain spots above and below (stopping riots).

Also each class would be a bonus with higher at the bottom and lower at the top. I think that with a good map maker this could be a very interesting map.

Odd...idea. Not sure how well it will ever work. And it may make more sense...to have only attacks down, as the higher up classes would 'exert their control' over the lower classes...but the lowest class could attack the top...I.E. a revolt or revolution.

I was thinking an ACTUAL map of Tsarist Russia, but I guess a political scale may work.

Well yh i do prefer your idea actually Andy, also when i was posting this i wasn't sure whether to do this or a actuall map instead. I guess you could do both.

But in case you didn't allready know i have no map making skills which is why i thought i would post it and see what map makers thought and if it was a good idea or not. And then hopefully somone would make it.
