I have an idea for the warmap
. I wasn't thinking about it much until I was playing Axis and Allies and realized "That's it! Just make it Axis and Allies." I'll try my best to explain the situation.
Take the map below for example....
The first scenario for my idea will involve the player being able to choose the territory he/she will fight for, and the second is that the devs simply decide the territories.
You split up the territories between axis and allied players (however the devs feel they should). At the start of the war, each player can choose a region they want to attack (a player can only attack a region adjacent to an already controlled territory). Each territory has a victory point value say 5. Each territory also has a number that represents the number of battles it will take to capture the region (I dont know how about 40). If the player wins enough battles, he/she can capture the region. If I click on France (and I am the only one who has clicked on it to attack), I must win 40 battles to capture that region. If me and smokaz click on france, then our victories must total 40 together to capture the region. If we lose a certain number of times (I dont know like whatever amount), we not only fail to capture the region, but we also lose a certain number of victory points for our team because we allocated resources for that battle and failed. We must choose another territory to attack at that point (and we can choose france again).
There could be a player limit to each territory, but I don't really care. The first team to hit a certain number of victory points wins the war. The point requirement could be high to make the war last longer.
Possible questions:
Q:What about the battles? Who chooses the map?
A: Either the maps are prechosen (boooo I don't like this idea) or the devs randomly assign them after a certain time period
.
Q: Is there a capital map?
A: I would like there to be yes and if the allies/axis push you to your capital and defeat you then you lose, but you might already lose due to VP.
Q: What if I have a smurf account?
A: Then choose a territory to attack on your smurf account. Who cares? this might help balancing anyways because then the better players will help both sides rather than overpowering one.
Q: Why do this?
A: 1) To establish when to reset the war, 2) To add more fun and competitiveness to the mod, 3) Why not?
Q: Which territories should start out as axis and allies? cuz Germany owned pretty much everything by 1944
A: I don't know just mix them up for the lulz I guess. You guys decide.
Q: Say I'm attacking from France and the axis capture my region...what happens?
A: If the enemy team captures the region you are attacking from, you must abort your mission, and attack a new region. You have been overwhelmed and cannot obviously stay in that territory.
If you have any questions about my idea, please ask me in vent so I can verbally explain it before you crush all of my dreams in the forum....I can only explain so much by typing.
This map will hopefully illustrate my idea. Please post ideas but promise that you'll hear me out if you disagree cuz I think I can explain it better in vent. Thanks.
