United States of Baseball

Postby Industrial Helix on Mon Jul 19, 2010 6:53 am

No way we could do this without breaking about 30 copyright agreements, but man, it would be a cool map and a great break from the usual north american maps.

I´m not fun of baseball, but the map looks great.
and has many possibilities. National League (NL), American League (AL) maybe NL East, NL Central, NL West, AL East, AL Central, AL West...

I'm not a baseball fan, but it would be an interesting map---if we could ever pass the copyrights.

This is an interesting idea. How would things connect through the unincorporated territory.

Either impassable or maybe connect Rockies with Twins and Mariners?

What a great map... standard gameplay I assume?

You know, you could do a Japan map based on the same idea...

Standard gameplay indeed... the trouble with this and any other sports team based map is that there's a huge copyright infringement. Though I'm trying to think my way around it... we could always ask the MLB for their permission to use the team names...

OR we could just use the city names and perhaps rip off, though not identical, name fonts. If you use the identical logo you'll get sued, which is apparently what happened to Obama during his run for senate.

If you've worried about copyright, you can always use some generic, vaguely related, and/or conquer-themed stand-ins.

That's the Conquer Club way!

You could expand the territories bordering the unincorporated territory by asking people who live in certain areas what teams they root for. Specifically plabes like Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, and Wyoming.

Of course, if we started this map now it'd be done probably around January...

I heard you lose two armies at the start of your turn if you own the Orioles or the Pirates.
