Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!


Kidding!  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Anyone is welcome, as long as they can explain what makes their army modern, and their weapons are crazy, not scary!

I've been working on a city map, I need advice, though. I did one version that just is like a downtown area, showing a river running through, one main road which has a bridge spanning the river, and then lots of roads drawn in, quite varied, some laid out like city blocks, some more major streets, some winding lanes, open areas, etc. Then I made another version, working off that same map, but throwing in a couple of lakes, a neighborhood with waterfront property, wooded areas, etc, so there would be some interest to it. I'll post both and let everyone see what they think, should it have some fixed landmarks to work off of, or should I leave it plain and let people put in landmarks if they want them? Or do you not like it at all and think I should do something different? I'm open to suggestions.

The plain version:




The landmarked version:

I like the second version best... it mose diverse and offers more possibiliteis for fun... a group of policemen cornered at one shore of the lae as the elephants are behind them and the flamingos or hippos are going to attack them if they get in the lake...  :lol: you could also place a square, a couple of monumets etc...

Yes, and I thought the river could be a nice barrier, good for someone to be able to defend their position against advancing armies, that is, until the army of alligators is called in.... and also the wooded area to the east might give some interesting possibilities. The square is a good idea.

Right, I made it just one bridge on purpose. I thought that would make things a lot more interesting!
