nice cairns, looks very folksy.

I for one would like to see it on a larger scale with more participants.

lol thats awesome!


you could have it that everybody thats standing can attack everybody on the same side, and bombard people on the opposite sides, and that the kneeling people can only be attacked, not attacked from


lol and the snowman and dog could have like little targets on them and can only be bombarded lol, just for extra fun :mrgreen:

This sounds like a fun idea. There a lot of gimmicky possibilities with this map. Lots of bombardment and one-way attacks. I will be watching this closely

Also, are you planning to make a whole series of seasonal and holiday maps? I'm all for it if that's your intention.

i will build this up as there is loss of perspective if one's places too many too soon, so i will have to keep scaling as i build...probably about 24 would be good Yes? :)

I can't help but feel that this map would be better if there were more territories. But just adding more people would make it pretty boring, I think. I don't have any ideas on cool gameplay gimmicks you could use, though. Sorry.

Dont you think 24 terts is enough for good all round games?

24 territories means 8 player games only start with 3 territories per player. Not as bad as Doodle, but not great...:?

I'd like to see more than 24 territories. I'd consider 32 the mimimum size for 8 player games.

You could territories onto the snowman and have a bonus for building a snowman? Maybe put another one somewhere?

Maybe you could add a couple of sleds in the middle of the path and maybe some tubes too?

Looking good. Though, I think some people [mainly those of those areas] with the name "Wog".

well i was thinking of having the snowball generators as the starting points for every player, and everyone else as neutrals so you' d have to generate some snowballs first before you could start firing them.
I think the snowball generators would be able to be bombarded from every "set" of chums - there are eight.
but the classic continents wouldn't include these generators for bonuses.
them's my thoughts thus far.
