Symetrical Map for tournaments

I had this idea in another topic, so I post it there.

Could you create a symetrical Map (size like Europe) only for tournament or competition.

This map could be played with the 'hold capital' rules, or the 'capture one country' rule.(so a neutral country in the map center would be great.

This map could be used for coalition's game too.

I'm working on it.

I will post my first draw later.

Here it is :

I belive, that answer will be no atm.
I was proposing alternate maps to Ivan, such as Moon, for example, and Ivan told me, that big part of code is map coordinate binded, so it will be huge work to implement new ones.

But I believe, that there could be some solutions.
1. Add tournament setting in "Create Game", nerf some regions, buff another = more or less equal output.
2. Find (or Create) some world region, that will answer the criteria of "equal", such as West and North Australia for ex.

They use coordinates, ok, so my map shouldn't be that bad, they could recalculate coordinates.

It's a symetric from mediterranean.Just one city and 4 frontier to add

I think there is alot more work they you may not realize that goes into each map let alone building a new one... I think the best way would be to use them map we got and build out a fun battle area

The current map used is the world map.No way to find similar area in this map.So no "even game".

The map I proposed is a part of this map too(world map), so nothing really new. I'll choose the easiest way : cuting and mirroring it.
We got all the easy maths and functions to translate the coordinates from the existing to that one.



Let's wait for Ivan and Amok, and let's discuss to know what requires the less work.

Unfortunately, we do not plan to implement new maps soon, at least not until the v1.0 release. Current implementation is designed to be used with the single map, so the complexity here is not in creating the new map itself, but in adding the support for multiple maps.

We understand it isn't a priority, but I think balanced map will be mandatory for coalition's game.

So some sort of priority could be balanced map just after the coalition's games

Keep up the good work !

Here it is :

That made me lol so hard!(the pic) I like the idea, but it seems highly unlikely

Why does it seems to you unlikely ?

There are a lot of discussions about the map, which countries to take first, their income, their reinforcement,....

1 vs 1 games would be balanced on this type on map. (or coalition's games 2 vs 2, 3vs 3)

Very good map

It's a good effort to make coalition games fairer.
The starting region ect. has a very high impact on the game.
However, it seems to be hard to implement. So we have to wait.
I'm really looking forward to see such a map. Very good idea.

I'm on it, I'll send the first map to Amok this saturday.

So its about to be implemented? (:

It's not in the high priority, in my opinion it should follow the coalition's games.
Drawing a map is easy, balancing and making it enjoyable to play in 1vs1 or 2vs2 or perhaps 3vs3 is harder.

Ivan and Amok have lot of things to do before adding new map, but I'll try to design a first one.

Bump from almost one year ago.

Wheres Lioda

Is that why you bumped it?

And also, the map needs to be vectorised (not sure of the format). You can't just make a crappy raster image and expect it to work in Afterwind.

I am not saying make a whole new map because I have to imAgine they do put a lot of work in because this game is pretty sweet. I mean it even has a radio. But what I'm saying in short is increasing the max in game zoom level

This topic was made before I was born. Lioda is gone just make a new thread if you want.

Just make your own map
