Not just for one clan, but for all clans. Kind of an FFA, where each clan is a player slot.

hmm... that would be tough to do considering the changing number of clans, but an interesting Idea. Perhaps a collage of logos connected to each other? That could work out...

The logos idea is good!
It may take some artistic talent to put them together in a way that is aesthetically pleasing. They are so different, they're bound to clash and make some uglies...

How many clans are you thinking about trying to involve in a map (how big of an ffa)?

So each clan is one territory?

Anyway clans could be different sizes depending on members count and influence.

You could ask every clan that wants to participate to give a SVG of an island of x territories.

I already started that. Sadly, I got busy...but I will resume working on it very soon. I had invited most of the leaders a while back to name their territories. I will give an update when I resume it.

This is what I have done:
https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=40993

I know there were questions of what to do with clans that are no longer as prominent (like WM) and ones that were not around when I started, but are bigger now. My plan is to make this to encompass WL from the start. So I will take the entire body of work for 20, WM, and all clans when factoring in how large to make a clan.

That is actually pretty cool, ChrisCMU! I really like it a lot! Also, perhaps we could try both your idea and the logos idea and see how each would work out.

it wouldnt work as a map, the MSF bonuses would be worth way too much. itd be unfair.

How is a trollclan worth more than the rest of the clans? Go back to your trollcave, Bane!

I could use logos as bonus links perhaps, but it does not make sense to make the bonus itself that way...too complicated

This kind of idea also went through my head as a fantasy map with the different countries being Warlight Clans. The more members a clan has, then bigger it would be with every member having his own territory:

You could have this map with three continents: Troll, RP, and strategic. Then you could have mixed clans a acting as the bridges, for example, ILLUMINATI could be a bridge between troll and strategic, CORP could be a bridge between RP and strategic, etc. Obviously the map creator would have to decide which clans go where, but each clan could have a "capital" territory (like ChrisCMU's city centers) that is shaped like its logo, then perhaps territories for each player, or for notable players, etc. You could even have certain players with tons of alts in different clans be their own bonuses, spread out among various clans.


I honestly doubt that you could even make a map with each player having their own territory. Way too big I think.

@Omega, That would make the Darklord bonus too big. I also don't think it accurately represents the influence of some of the smaller clans (WG, Apex, Turtles, etc). I'd argue that people give more respect to WG than Darklords.

EDIT: @Master, if you want Illuminati to have a troll aspect, there will have to be some historical bonuses linked with it. The current clan has nothing to do with trolling, so if a troll bridge is to exist, there'll have to be some Hidden Hand related bonuses.

@OxTheArtist Omega's idea is fine just put as many territories as clan members then give value to the territory based on skill level I.E Masters,WM,WG,GG give them high bonus value like 10 for a 10 bonus then for the darklords give them like 100 value for their 400 plus members.

Yeah - as bonus links keeps it cleaner. I don't like maps that are ugly for the sake of a gimmick or theme. If we're going to look at it over and over, might as well might it look nice. Logos as bonus links (or just a legend next to each link) would keep it classy :-)

Terrotory per player will not be used by me. It would immediately date the map. Any player change and it is out of date.

I will work on it again soon. My previous map is done, just need to go public

No. A lottery map. Each clan is worth the same, so we don't have clan members fighting each other.

chrisCMU, it seems like your map is limited to strategic clans, which makes it kind of less appealing to me.^^ Omega your sketch looks pretty cool. If you ever want to realize this map, it would be awesome to see the roleplayers guild as well, maybe a remote mysterious isle with secret pathes to each city hall of the foreign realms. =)
