I play single play exclusively. I'd like to see a 20-player, 400+ (land) province map of the Warhammer Fantasy world. If you need reference maps or background material for magic sites just ask.

Ditto - I have just begun to scratch the surface of the many possibilities that SP offers.

I'd also request that a map based on the Exalted Creation be made. I particularly like the fact that Creation's Water-based factions have a great deal of flexibility, particularly in the West, aptly called the Elemental Pole of Water.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a lot of material, else I would have pestered someone for help on an Exalted mod.

Seconded. Map of the Old World would be just so freaking awesome. Sylvania could be a wasteland with lots of death sites and protected by some independent Vampire Lords. Chaos Wastes could be heavily defended by freaky independent forces, have almost 0 population but amazing magic sites. Athel Loren could be defended by a mixture of Treelords and elf dudes from the Sylvania mod. Bretonnia would of course be full of independent Knights..

There is just so much awesome stuff in warhammer world.

Thanks for the feedback folks. I am currently done with 1 1/2 maps that are wrapped, balance multiplayer. I'll post when I finish and I'd love feedback. Next I'll work on an unbalanced, SP or MP map. Balancing rigorously takes some of the fun out of map making, and my impression is that the MP nature can help even out some of hte imbalances in a map. I've got more ideas than time now, so it might take a while...

A map like Orania ( my favorite for the moment), which is wraparound and as VP on it with special magic sites for the VPs. I love VP 'cause it mean you wont have to besiege each capital to win.

I love Orania from a balance point of view, but I find the art on that map
way too bland. If someone would just pretty up the graphics, I would
be very happy.

I also like smaller games - 6-8 players, 20 provinces per player, and would
love to see a wrap around map with a lot of terrain features, and chokepoints.

Hmmmmm I wonder what ever happened to the "Orania Wars" version from Dom2? That was a nice little scenario game.
#description "With the disappearence of the Pantocrator from Orania his servants
and other demigods has started the Ascension Wars of Orania. In order to attain
godhood and become the One God of Orania the pretenders must conquer the incarn
ation sites of six other pretenders.

All seventeen nations have fixed starting positions and begin with five province
s. The first player to own seven capitals have won the game."

I wonder if its still playable in Dom3? I guess it would be early age only with it only using the first 17 nations on the list. unless someone wants to update it.

Oh ancient alzimered one from the dawn of the game why don't you make a list of all of those.
But not in this thread since I do not think it has a place with the new maps discussion.

Let me start you out.
fgrep -A 5 \#description *.map

I'm busy with a 2nd map and I need to know what is more wanted a OPEN map with loads of provinces all inter connected and no barricades OR more choke-points & semi-choke-points (passages 1-2 provs wide?)

Gandalf Parker · #20 September 12th, 2007, 11:43 PM

You will tend to get both answers. From what Ive seen the serious MPers tend to like open maps where the winner is based on whose strategy is better, not spur-of-the-moment tactics or who lucked on getting a chokepoint near them. The SPers tend to like chokepoints. Alot of people do both types of play. In general I think that the wish for chokepoints tends to win out in the numbers. IMHO
