Gold Rush

Post by Lucarilover240 »

Okay so, this idea just came to me. Players across four different islands tearing each other apart to get to a center island. Only one territory leads to the center from each island, so it's impossible to avoid players trying to kick you out unless you get total control of the island. I made a shitty drawing of what I think it could look like here. My drawing skills aren't the best, so this is pretty much as good as it's ever going to look coming from me.

I know, it looks like total crap.
So, here's how it goes. The players start out in randomized locations on the four islands. For each colored sector, they get a +2 troop bonus. If they hold a single color on all 4 islands, they get +2 in addition to the +8 they would ordinarilly get, adding up to +10 troops. If they hold an entire island, they also get +2 along with the bonuses they would normally get, also adding up to +10. The center island holds 20 neutrals in the outer ring, and 50 neutrals in the center ring. just to make things more fun, the outer ring, once a player captures it, looses 5 troops per turn, and the inner ring looses 10.
As for territory names, I'm completely clueless (part of the reason this is in suggestions, the other part being my crappy art skills). If anyone wants to use this idea, great. Just be sure to credit me so I can steal all the glory. :twisted:

Kind of, I guess, but with the set up, I think it makes it a bit more challenging.

Oasis? This Is a complete rip off of conquer crater :shock:
maybe you want to click on
my sig...

You just squeezed the access points, making it more annoying to get to the center. Look at my map and make a suggestion, it's much farther ahead ;)

I said I'd have a go at a draft of this map so here it is:

Most of the graphics on there have been recycled from previous projects of mine, so it does look rushed. I also meant to add some sort of attack route between the pier and the nearest landing point of the centre island. Obviously, I've added a lot more regions and the auto-deploy camps.

So..unless this thread gets any more popular now, I'm done.

I like this. Not much to add, sorry I'm not feeling too creative, but I like this.
Just because it is similar to oasis does not mean that is is not original!

, I'm fine with the idea, I just don't want to see this surpass conquer crater, which is basically the same as this but 6 months in the process already. :lol:
