another two I'd like ideas I have are Britannia from the Ultima series of computer games by Lord British in the 1980s,
http://www.thealmightyguru.com/Reviews/ ... tannia.jpgand George Orwell's 1984 map.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1984 ... v2_arr.pngThe Orwell idea is most intriguing to me, and could only be played with a certain player arrangement. I don't even know if it's possible to engineer that, but since there are only three superpowers it would be interesting to work on that.

Bering Strait. I like geographical maps the most and I think this could be an interesting one.

I think the Maritimes would be pretty neat, Maine, parts of Quebec, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, PEI?

Already being made.
I like the Bering Strait idea, edbeard. I like the idea better than Haiti, frankly.

Toronto, maybe? (For those who don't know, it's a large city in Canada). I'm a terrible map maker, but I could give ideas on territory locations, bonuses, etc.

I didn't get any feedback on whether this idea is worth pursuing so I am reposting - if it's an awful idea I will leave it be but I think it could be a lot of fun.
I got the idea from the feeling I get whenever I play a two-player game - there is always alot of jabbing, sparing and retreating to one's corner - it made me think of a boxing match.
I have an idea for a new style map intended solely for 1 vs 1 play. The theme would be a boxing ring where each player starts pretty strongly in his own corner of the ring. All other territories are neutral (like Feudal War). The goal is to take over the other player's corner for a KO, or reach some dominant position for a certain number of rounds for a TKO.
The ring itself is divided into regions for the players to fight over, but there are no bonus armies for the ring itself. Bonuses are gained if the player choses to invest in resources outside of the ring, like certain equipment or training upgrades, or certain punch or defensive combinations. For example, accessible from each corner is a region called "punches" with territories like right uppercut, left jab etc. Another region for "blocks," "equipment," "training," etc. with territories in each that earn bonuses.
It's just a rough idea now but I wonder if this might spark anyone's interest. I have zero graphics or programming skills but would be pleased to work on game development. I have no idea if the site's XML would support some of these concepts. Is there any interest in helping me flesh this out and implement it?

look as i said before i'm a terrible map maker. i tried once and I failed miserablely

. besides, i don't even know how to upload pictures onto this site.
However, I am more than willing to give ideas for territories and bonuses, and I think that suberbs should be included.
I've thought of some possible continents: Downtown, Don valley, east york, Scarborough, north york, etobicoke, rexdale, mississauga, halton, vaughan, richmond hill, markham, and pickering. please post any thoughts or ideas

Danielar, you don't upload pictures to this site. You upload pictures to a free image site (
http://www.imageshack.us is the one I use), copy the "Direct Link to Image" field, then paste it in between [ img][/img ] tags (without spaces). Bam, instant picture.
