HoodTown

[quote=Hoodlum]A map used for one of our forum mafia themes,[url=https://lynchmob.games/hoodtown/map/] HoodTown[/url]. thought i'd play around with it, and added regions and territories.. [spoiler=HoodTown][img]https://mapconquest.com/images/dabble/92.large.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [/quote] Hoodlum didn't expect this to become a D12 map for real, he made it just for fun, however in opinion it is so beautiful and also nice to play (I've already played one game) that deserved to be beta-released. It's just a beta-release for now, the map is not fully finished because territory tags are missing and also a legend somewhere that says: OPEN DOORS ARE PASSABLE... Well, it will be obvious after the first round you play!

Game-play is cool and fun, but that small 1-territory bonus in the town centre has too much impact on 2p games in my opinion. So I decided to change the recommendation from "2-4 players" to "3-5 players". Anyway people don't follow much those recommendations...

[spoiler=hoodtown labels/key][img]https://mapconquest.com/images/dabble/htownedit.jpg[/img][/spoiler] some labels keeping with the forum game and storyline. eg the lookout towers, the graveyeard/policestation/jailhouse. labels might be small.

I have seen the progress but I delayed to comment it. With the add of the text the map is even more beautiful.

Finally I have set it as "2-5 players" like the other maps of the same size (31 territories).

Any feedback from the D12 community?

[quote=The_Bishop]Any feedback from the D12 community?[/quote] Played it once. Was pretty good; a fair amount of give and take predominantly around the outer edges of the map. In that one game, there was no action at all in the center, as it seems highly unlikely to ever hold.

what if there was a map like this where we could use as a labyrinth/maze.... some days the doors are shut, bridges broken, gap in the woods! connection changes randomly by a sneaky cartographer! haha. probably could try it with a tournament. eg: settings, fog mode. cartographer (me/bishop) logs in. updates image and door connections. causes chaos! one day. lol
