I have an idea for at least a two series of maps.. The colonization of the moon, and the colonization of Mars.. maybe stretch it into colonizing Titan, but I'm not 100% on that. This is where my question about negative bonuses comes into play.. Something like this: [spoiler][img]https://i.imgur.com/UJCDEM8.png[/img][/spoiler]

i remember thinking i wanted to tackle a mars theme, but then i strayed off and took a look at what geography d12 lacked in. it was russia, and south america, while some areas were still getting the same attention. i think now that dima has covered russia area, it'd be cool for someone to maybe tackle a south america map. putting it out there, while there has been some map making enthusiasm lol. i've tried to tackle it, but nothing i was satisfied with.

Here i have collected some nice maps one could use for inspirations.

check this out: It could be a good small map. I would copy the regional borders, but would change territorial borders here and there. It could also be a good map to add additional bonuses. https://www.alamy.com/administrative-vector-map-of-belgium-regions-provinces-and-districts-image440923616.html https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Provinces_of_Belgium_with_CoA-en.svg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbpSAiJWHi4 https://www.mapsofindia.com/world-map/belgium/

There are a few of good maps over there. I have been playing the one from the LOTR Risk I think that could be a good map too.

With these maps we would dive into an uncharted territory.......

I am sure these maps would get the site many new and unexpected followers & fans. This way we could move out from the mostly west and/or european consumer base towards a new middle eastern one. And maybe maybe even establish a monopoly over risk-like games in the semitic/abrahamic world.

the roots of white/indo-european people map: [url=]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b1/Indo-European_migrations.jpg [/url] [url=]https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/ff58u9/indoeuropean_migration_map/#lightbox [/url] [url=]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ef/Indo-European_Migrations.jpg [/url] [url=]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#/media/File:Map_Corded_Ware_culture-en.svg [/url] [url=]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#/media/File:From_Corded_Ware_to_Sintashta.jpg [/url] [url=]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_migrations#/media/File:Indo-european_-_languages_-_evolution_-_500_BC_-_map.jpg [/url] I think if one would make a migration map into a risk map, the territoral borders would become obsolete. Using connection lines as it is done in the switzerland map would be more appropriate. Primarly the corded ware and secondary the yamnaya cultures are the root from which all europeans and european populations in the english/french colonies( america, canada, australia, nz) descend. They have also spread their blood among the modern populations of central asia (tajikistan, afghanistan, iran, northern idea among others), but these population are mixed way too much with other populations, local, but also turkic/asian migrants, to be considered fully indo-european, although they speak indo-european languages. The populations of south-western europe (spain, italy, balkan among others) also have high degree of indo-european blood, but they are also strongly mixed with local, pre-indo-european population (neolithic farmers). The blood of the indo-europeans live on most stronlgy in populations of modern day eastern and northern europe, from scandinavia, over to poland, baltics, up to russia and white russia. The whole central asia was also inhabited by indo-europeans for centuries ([b][i]sarmatians, scythians, sogdians[/i][/b] among others), but they mixed up and/or were displaced by turkic/asian migrations from the east and became kipchaks, huns, bulgars, tatars and others. Here are some info on the turks: [url=]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_migration[/url] Here are some more informations on genetics and migrations (I suppose the majority of people from this site belong to R1b): [url=]https://www.eupedia.com/europe/ancient_european_dna.shtml[/url] [b]This site contains scientifical reconstruction of people of these cultures. Basicly you get to know how these people looked like in real life. Amazing site!
