A map game.

Hello Afterwind! I thought it would be fun to get a map game going here...what's that? You've never heard of a map game? Oh my. Well, let me elaborate:

What the Baal is a map game, and why should I care?

-Well, a map game is basically and alternative history game, where a base map is posted as the starting turn. Player can chose preexisting countries on the map if there are any, or start a new one if it's blank. Depending on the type of map game, players control events that happen throughout the world while playing.

Okay, I get it...so what are the rules?

-Well, picking up where we left off last entry, in this map game you will only be able to control events in your own country that happen only using your ethnicity/population. You may send your people abroad to crusade, invade, spy, negotiate, etc, but you may never write another country's history unless the other country agrees. There will be a maximum of 50 players, who may start anywhere on the map. They must have a name for their people, at least one settlement to serve as a capitol, some sort of material or product they are skilled at making (EX: Michigan, Cars. Gunma, Anime. Berlin, Pornography). You start off with exactly ONE province on the entire map. To conquer blank land (grey), you simply post an event in your comment. You may conquer up to three provinces a comment, no more.

You speak of comments and turns...how do those work?

-Alright, so the game will start off at Year 0, First Era. Every turn (comment) is exactly one year. You set up a turn like this:

Quote:

-Player name (Gardy), People/Country etc name (Zanarkand), player number (1)-

Events:

Janu - Event here
Febr - Event here
März - Event here
Apri - Event here

Juni - Event here
Juli - Event here
Augu - Event here

Nove - Event here

Player 2 (Baal)'s turn is next

What are "Events" exactly?

-Events can be anything important that happen in your turn. 1 per month. When making an event, think seriously: "Does this sound plausible? Realistic? Does it make sense? Is it fair? If it is unrealistic or unwanted, it will be voted on to see whether or not it if factual or to be removed.

Alright, I understand. What map will we be using?
This one

If I didn't explain anything fully or you have questions, please comment below. If you guys find this interesting, I will start an actual game (needs at least 10 players). Maybe if it become popular enough, the winner could be awarded a trophy or something.
