Pure Chaos- In the making.
Hey guys, I have begun working on the Pure Chaos map we talked about(32 player Pure)(34 was not conducive to the symmetry of the map), and wanted to ask if there was any opinions you had on it.

P.S- this is one of many variants I plan to make, so expect to see it, and soon after, expect to see another Civil War map, along with 2 other U.S maps, and a battle for Texas map(If Oli gives them the O.K.)

You're a web developer, butter? Epic.
Thoughts about pure chaos:
You may want to make it build every phase so that dislodging someone means something.

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

part of the fun is when you have 2 sc and 1 unit
butterhead (1272 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
No, I am no web developer, but I have been teaching myself code. Specifically HTML and php. Also, I think that normal builds will stick around, eventually someone will win!

now by battle for texas do you mean like sam houston and the alamo and that kind of stuff?

Ok - a serious critique to a Pure Chaos (34p) map would be that everyone can move anywhere anyway (EVERY REGION IS CONNECTED TO EVERY OTHER REGION) so why bother having the 2 region-move rule?

One way around this would be to implement 1 or 2 neutral regions between each SC in a circular manner... is this what you are thinking of Butterhead?
butterhead (1272 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
@Shep- no, something different.
@Kaner- Pure Chaos, not Pure Chaos with octopus rules... just 32 players all with one center, all can move anywhere. no double move crap, as that would be, as you said, pointless.
butterhead (1272 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
@Shep- what I mean by battle for Texas is, there is like, 22 or something around that districts(representing major cities/political districts), and it will be either a 2 or 3 player map, because it is pretty small, even though it is Texas, and to win, you have to have the usual one more than 1/2, which is different than the 3 U.S maps I am working on, on which, the civil war one, you must control the usual number, AND you must control the states along the Mississippi river, on the 3/4 player one(haven't decided, leaning towards 4), you must control 36 of the 48 states, and on the 6/8 player one(haven't decided yet), you must have all 48 states. that is the plan for now.
gigantor (937 D)

All 48 states? Won't that get a bit tiring towards the end? Perhaps it would require a forfeit button that doesn't give you a CD on your record if you're only got say, 15 against 33 and just can't be bothered fighting any more.
it's probably so you can set up a stalemate with like, ten guys left and force a draw
Oh! And could you make Ancient Chaos while you're being amazing butter?
butterhead (1272 D)
24 Mar 11 UTC
haha, yes, all 48. no, it will be the exact same as the WW4 variant, actually, 2 less. also, no, no forfeit button, too hard, and if I was going to do that, I would wan't it to give a resign if I did that, as it is not fair too the winning person for people to leave when they are losing. also, Ancient, I will take a look at Ancient Chaos, but no gaurentees. I am very new at this coding stuff, and also, cannot progress my making until I fix my computer, as I am not allowed to save documents on my mothers computer. soon I will be working again, and I will try to figure it out.
butterhead (1272 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
OK:
here is my updated list of maps I am working on(with the names I wish to give them):
Blood of our Brothers(this will be the Civil War map, first to control 25 states AND the Mississippi river states)
The Native Wars(this will consist of 4 players, first to control 36 states win, it will be 4 of the Biggest Native American tribes in the 48 states)
48 or nothing(this will be an 8 player game, regional, as in, South West, South East, New England, West, etc., first to 48 wins(btw, there will be slight alterations to the map to make a few states have connections to other states so it can actually be fought over, like Maine))
Pure Chaos( a 32 player map, all territories connected, first to 17 wins)
Ancient Chaos(If I have the time),(Ancient will tell me anything special he has for me to do with it)
** NOTE**
the 3 U.S maps and Pure Chaos will have NO fleets!!
any specific complaints, suggestions, or other requests, I will be posting my email on my profile, and you can email me. Ancient, you should go ahead and email me telling me what you want for Ancient Chaos. If I don't get back to any comments or suggestions right away, Do not worry, I will get back to you eventually.
Shep315 (1435 D)

Shouldnt the Civil War map have at least some type of naval aspect seeing as how the Monitor vs. Virginia is considered an important moment in naval history and because river fleets were so important on the Mississippi and in the taking of New Orleans by Union Forces?
Triskelli (735 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
Nah, if anything a Civil War map should try to provide a balanced experience for the two players, rather than try to replicate history exactly.
butterhead (1272 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
possibly. I more so want to focus on the actual states. I may make the GoM and Atlantic possible to use, as well as the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, but that would be it I'd assume. that would also make it possible to take Main without major remodels of the map. good suggestion...
suggestions can also be made here, but I prefer them in email, because I can check that easier than this.
butterhead (1272 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
Indeed, it all depends on Balance and power, etc. I have to make sure they are equally powerful
butterhead (1272 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
Oops, forgot one:
Battle for Texas: a 4 player game, first to 12(I believe, will have to look at it again), wins. also, no fleets, 100% land based
Ancient Chaos is the Ancient Med 5 player map but it should start with a build phase and like normal chaos, every supply center is its own nation
standard rules except for build anywhere.

Also, Yay! i love all land maps. :)

butterhead (1272 D)
25 Mar 11 UTC
I know Ancient, but I wasn't sure if you had other things you wanted me to do to it. you specifically should email me with any suggestions. this map is your idea, I will do it however you want me to. your the Developer, I am just doing the work. :)
