Go back a few months and I also suggested Jurassic or cretascious earths. So I think it's a good idea too

What about a WWII Japanese empire map, seems like it would be a cool alt to the caribbean map with all the islands and stuff

I made a risk game using the swing gui for domination (risk)edited and used this map I found.

The green zone (smaller region) was the safe zone and safe from the deathstar territories (what i called the grey territories) All other territories attack adjacently as normal. I only play this against the AI players, but wondered how how it would work as multiplayer. Heres a video of my gameplay [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5xEYIy6B3k[/youtube]

oops..the map is huge in this post...sorry :)

You can't just use maps you found on this website though... EDIT: I also took the liberty of putting the image in a spoiler ;)

How about a map of middle east with bonus for owning all oil producing regions. Or is that too early? ;-)

I've been toying with the idea of Caribbean Modified. Exactly the same, but different connections and region bonuses make it completely different and far less linear!

Hmm Nice. Not sure what I think about making a small map being all connected. Anchor Bay is small and VERY connected. I don't have an opinion about this yet. EDIT: Though Anchor Bay is different from this one, in that, there, everything is connected within a few steps, and sometimes through multiple routes. This still looks traditional, with Haiti a far distance from Miami. And, in that there are connections throughout the map, but the connections are mainly between blocks of territories. Though I think you wouldn't need the Juventud - Havana connection. (Or if you like making Havana a hub, then wouldn't need the Juventud - Matahambre connection.)

Thanks, I think the main problem is Caps. Saturn is super-connected (yes I know it's a weird map but I love it!!!) EDIT: Making maps is really hard!! Would it be possible to just edit the psd file for the original Caribbean Map and add the connections and change the title? Maybe change the hues of the regions so that the map is discernible from the normal map in the live games lobby?

I think that if we do that, we should also change the color scheme so we can identify them easily.

That's what I meant by "change the hues of the regions so that the map is discernible from the normal map". From your comment I'm guessing making a similar map in this way would be possible?

Oh my, I have to start reading the whole posts :P I answered you having only read the first sentence :( Look at World Classic & World Modified, the layout is just the same, but look completely different.

Meh. I like World Reduced a lot? :) You still have two regions with 1 border, seems very imbalanced.

I as thinking about making a map from [i]The Last Airbender[/i] universe. It will need permission, though that can always be asked if somebody is willing to make this map. I also love the graphics style used in the maps in the series.
