What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: it's awesome
First of all the map will have several images available at once. one for each player, one for the legend and one for the battlearena. then each of these will have several variants according to events that may or may not happen during a game. if all this seems confusing take a peek at this thread: Dynamic Shapeshifting Maps
basically you'll start with a base and then expand getting bonuses then entering a battle arena and smashing your opponent. your very own base image will change according to what terits you own. for example the VR Tunnel will appear as closed and not connected to anything unless you hold all gates.
thanks to this and to the bonus system the map will be very dynamic. bonuses will change from one turn to another, troops will come and go and new paths will be created or broken. i'm also trying to offer various strategies ranging from cautios ones to head on rush tactics. more details can be found in the legend image. the battleground image is not yet available as i'm not sure on how many players i'll make the map for. right now it's 1v1 as there are very few 1v1 maps. but it will be possible to modify it for more players. however it might be rather difficult to switch between so many map images to see what all players are doing.
especially since the map images will be correlated not just through attack routes but also through bonus influences. a terit captured on your base might give you bonuses in the arena or a terit from the arena might attack one in your opponent's base and affect his arena troops.
anyway, here are some drafts to get the idea going. i'll keep on bringing more images and more details later this week and hopefully i'll get some feedback in the meantime.
