Basically we have no idea what the hell is going on... No idea how it plays. The graphics are completely confusing, it has no real theme to tie it all together... It makes me feel like some kind of perverted murder may have taken place... It really does!

i never tought a conquer map could bring out such strong emotions

Maybe its better for start to create normal map of some country, and then you will have some great idea, with interesting story.

i must change something in the corridor
the entrance is with d
d should be a
there is no line above d because its the entrance, there s no line above a because its in the corner, aesthetics, it gives a more open impression
there are already enough cubes
all the rooms have one dirzection, exept the shootout
so its a counterpart for the rest of the board
the different rooms in the corridor refer to the different circles
but different: one-directin ;; multidirection
theres also the link between death circle and corridor
victims room functions like a circle

should i make one normal map with a victims room
one normal map with only shootoutcircles, in different colors, having all the circles of one color is a bonus
should imake a map just with one-direction-borders and nhothing else special

is three new ideas too much for a map ?

and once the ideas are used and accepted, i can combibne them in one map

I think you should try and explain exactly what the theme of your map is... Whats the story/ Why the corridor, whatever room... what are the names about?

The word is fine. What does it do in the map? Is it a territory? It has no little blue arrows.

But that is beside the point. You have some interesting ideas for different play style here, but they are all thrown together randomly. If the idea is just craziness, well, that might be too vague of a theme. Maybe push it toward a mental asylum? Give us some things you'd see in a real mental hospital and then maybe add some things that the patients might think are there but really aren't... Give us something to grab onto theme wise and then have some fun with it.

I think that is the best I can do in terms of critique/advice.

corridor is the name of the different small rooms next to it
you hav to enter at d, wich sould become a and you pass all the rooms untill you leave at q
thats why it is a corridor
i can rethink the names
the gameideas where there before the nameideas
and i just gave a name
i will find a subtile and powerfull meaning in the combination of the names
you really do find the spot on wich i worked less, thats good, that pushes me further
now think deep and wisely

you're just jealous :D

anyway the map needs a theme, better graphics (powerpoint won't do the trick), and deffinitelly some gameplay adjustments.

all that one way route is very disturbing. holding continents is going to be a real tough job. also some teritories don't belong to a continent, what's their purpose??

so the priorities are:
gameplay
theme
graphics

having countries wich dont belong to a continent,
makes you have more countries
more countries is more fortifications
and if you play with six, you begin with 10 countries each, so you are fast at 12, 15, ...
and i think there are other maps without continents
one-way might be disturbing
but thats what makes this map unique
its disturbing for everybody
thats the funpart
it will make you have to think again how to play
i really cursed sometimes that north ireland can be attacked from two scottish countries, but hey, it makes it maybe more difficult and disturbing, but also more interesting

This is you're url:
http://www.geocities.com/antonhuysmans/ ... ormaat.jpg

and do not forget to start with [img]en%20ends%20with[/img] and certainly do not make "spaties" between the url. I think thats why it doesn't work by you.

And its no problemo to help you at all. We of the Low Lands helps eachother. Because in olddays we were one country... lol

So if you need more info just PM me. Its no problem.

Dear god use some different program to make the map. It makes my eyes bleed.

That said, this could be an interesting map. You just need a lot of work on it. About a year's worth.
