For Battle Royales, I don't think this can be topped. They don't happen often, but this will be VERY popular for them.
I'd like to see it made in the current (4 sep 09) format. I don't mind the simple graphics... Classic Art and classic shapes are about as simple as it gets.
From the simple 'limits' standpoint, I like the idea. It is ALWAYS a good thing to push the boundary, and see where it lies. If this requires a "no story" map, I can handle ONE in all the maps that CC has right now. I think this idea has legs.
The 10 max bonus for terrs is not bad, but it does leave little impetus for an initial rapid expansion, since there's no chance of injuring an opponent for a LONG time, even in an 8-player game. Perhaps raising it to, say, 12. Taking 7 from someone with a 12 drop yourself is unlikely, even if you pick up, say, a 3 and a 5 bonus on drop... 23 to kill 21 would require a great deal of luck.
Wile extra bonuses are more likely with fewer players, it gets even harder to break a max territory bonus, as the padding gets greater.
I can see running this as Chained/Escalating with 6 or more players... Unlimited would give a HUGE advantage to the first couple of players to go...
I'd play it. Not constantly or anything, but sure. I don't see it as a 1v1 map, or anything like that. But teams and 8-man games, easily.
Voted YES!!! That is one hell of a map. Cannot see anything wrong with it. As for theme, none needed. Any chance of getting more than the normal 9 players on the board?
