Less than an ocean, more than a sea. Medium Terris, "between the lands", a bridge more than a barrier: the easiness of communication caused the Mediterranean to be the craddle of modern civilization.

An hex-style map, where the bonuses are given by owning the varios ining seas and the many shipyards located on the coasts.
Floating mines define the seas, but many ships and naval bases, communicating with the surrounding ones, allow speedy attacks.

For chessplayers only.
The pieces attak and move like in the chess game, except for the pawns, that use both directions.
Empty squares can do nothing but defend theirselves.
Bonuses are given by owning all the pieces of the same kind (but kings have a monster bonus, conquering both of them decide the match).
In the starting scenario two players own the black and white pieces, plus a neutral for the empty squares. For what I've tried, the best AI rivals are Boscoe and EvilPixie, but the real satisfaction comes with Human vs Human..
The pieces disposition is copied, with a couple of minor changes, from a Kasparov-Karpov match (Sevilla, 1987), around the 17th move.
All the squares are reacheable by any player, for how complicate it may be: don't give up!]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Checkmate Jurwitz 2012-03-11T09:58:09-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Classic%20Twitch

More than 500 countries! Dozens of continents! Lux to the limit!

Britain in turmoil! The financial crisis, the war in Iraq, new attacks by the IRA in Northern Ireland, the decreasing appreciation of the Royal family.... The United Kingdom is breaking into pieces. The Scotts are about to join the Euro, Northern Ireland wants to reunite with Ireland, Wales wants total independency. England is falling apart. The Royal Army starts attacking rebelling forces in the regions resulting in a total collapse!

Try to reunite Britain....

This map is so large that two problems may occur: the bot's don't understand it and play foolishly (especially in the beginning), human players are just outrun by the bots in the end game. I fiddled around a bit and found the following settings (preferences) and bots the most entertaining:

Prefs: -Computer player speed: fastest
-Country border width: thinnest
Game options: -Use cards
-Transfer cards to conquering player
-card sequence: 5, 10, 15...
-Continent bonuses go up 20% every round
-Turn time limit 50 seconds (with touchpad, 40 secs for mouse)
Use this bot mix: Cluster, Angry, Reaper, EvilPixie and Tactobot

I win about every second game now, which is okay for botgames....

Tactobot was originally designed by Pixies to defeat Boscoe and he served them well for a while. But after recent successes against Killbot and other AIs, Tactobot has decided to go rogue and walk among humans. In the streets Tactobot is sometimes called 'The Mosquito' because of his tactical positioning during the day, followed by his vicious night attacks.

Tactobot was designed by a MSc AI student during a project of three weeks and is therefore not tuned for any maps, nor able to intelligently handle maps like Arms Race, nor customisable or chatty. But hopefully still fun. It was designed to show sensible behaviour for the average human player during continent conquering gameplay and to keep an eye on the game balance (when it's not in the way of winning of course).]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Tactobot DanielK 2011-11-20T09:43:29-05:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/War%20in%20Asia

Year after year, Burning Man draws people together for an experiment in temporary communtiy. As the population rises above 50,000 people, a true dream metropolis is evolving in Black Rock City, NV.

The Ten Principles of Burning Man:

Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Gifting
Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Radical Self-reliance
Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.

Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Black%20Rock%20City Sillysoft Games 2011-08-15T21:03:41-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Hemisphere

Note: If your screen has a resolution less than around 1280x800 I suggest scrolling for this map - it's resolution is 1920x1280 and it has some smaller countries. However, scrolling is not entirely necessary, and I have discovered that your can view country borders far more clearly if you go into card view mode. You can do this anytime except for before your first move.
This is a map based on the administrative divisions of the Soviet Union in 1981 (Including the disputed Baltic States). It has 174 countries and provides a long and complicated game. I suggest trying it in biohazard as well.
Gameplay Notes:
**Don't forget about islands and fleets, as neglecting them can cause you serious damage.
*Dotted yellow lines represent routes along which troops can be ferried between landmasses while avoiding naval fleets - or the toxic water that remains after a fleet is nuked.
*Countries that touch only on narrow corners are (or should be) unable to attack each other. Very short borders do connect.
*There are several fleets in seas around the map. These fleets can attack/be attacked by all countries along their sea's or ocean's coast.
*Bonuses are based roughly on population, political power, and resources.
*Each island or archipelago connects to the nearest mainland country or is part of it, and some islands also have ferry routes leading to them
*There are insets for the Caucasus and Central Asia for the areas where the administrative divisions are small. The on-map countries are still functional, however the labels for continents and army labels for countries are shown on the inset if the country/continent is more than half in the inset zone.
Storyline:
The year is 1981, and the Cold War just got renamed the Not-So-Cold War - right after the nukes started flying. As a result, Moscow has lost all control over it's vast empire and several remaining factions must fight over the worlds largest communist state, to save it or destroy it.
Scenario #1 (Use biohazard 0-3)
The United States were annihilated by the Soviet warheads. However, while most or all of the American nukes were stopped, one American plan succeeded - the assasination of all major Soviet leaders. With Brezhnev and all potential leadership candidates dead, the Soviet Union is left leaderless, and with no powerful outside force pushing for unity the union crumbles into Civil War.
Scenario #2 (Use biohazard 4-6)
The Soviet missile defence systems aren't fast or effective enough, and nuclear warheads rain down accross the USSR. The entire high command was incapacitated by the attack, and now several factions will fight desperately to gain enough land to survive in the molten slag that was once the Soviet Union.
Players:
(Note: I tested this scenario with all the players as the Chimera AI, and they all won with approximately equal frequency except for player 4, the Russian Jews, which only won about 15% of the time)
1: You are what remains of the the RSFSR (Russia). With Moscow revolted, you are left with your capital at Leningrad in your fight to regain what is rightfully yours.
2: You are Eastern Europe's Union members, with a capital at Kiev. You've had enough of the Soviet occupation, and see no other choice but to finish off the invader enemy, and take the rest of the USSR as a result.
3: You are the the Soviet Turks. During the 19th century the Russians invaded your lands with their superior techonology. Now they have brought nuclear war down on the world, and it's you chance to fight back. Your capital is at Tashkent.
4: You are the Russian Jews, centered in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. For centuries anti-semitism has decimated your culture, and Soviet events such as the Great Purge have now served to only deepen your anger. Now is the time to strike back against you oppressors, and form a truly independent Jewish state.
5: (Empty) This player represents the cities of the Soviet Union who have put together a local militia to protect from looters and invaders in this time of uncertainty. It also represents military encampments which continue to adhere to the last commands from Moscow. Some cities and military bases have a large army (especially large cities and Soviet Hero Cities), but they never increase their defenses or attack any other regions, so they are merely obstacles.
*************************************************
Version 1.1: MapLAB: Fixed some broken connections
Also made minor changes to insets.
Version 1.2: MapLAB: Fixed several more broken connections. Major update to fleets: renaming and addition of the Northern Fleet to better display the actual USSR navy, and a better aesthetic appeal (to me at least). Also changed army pictures, though I might change them back later.
Version 1.3: Minor modifications to continent bonuses after further research (I hadn't taken into account the population drain in some areas after the Soviet Era)
Version 1.4: MapLAB: Fleets are now marked by anchors, through which the colour of the occupying force can be more easily seen.
Version 2.0 (Major Update): Added labels for surrounding seas, islands, and regions in the background & overground. Changed some 'country' names. Modified country connections to be more consistant, updated the description, and completely redid the starting scenario. Also fixed an issue in which ugly parts of the background could show though in biohazard.
Possible future updates: Including more of the autonomous okrugs (sub-provinces) in the Caucasus for more balance of this region.

1. Board has a 4 player starting scenario. Game board is 1000x720 and can be played on screen resolutions of 1024x768 and above. There are two levels each 10x16(160) hexes for a total of 320 hexes. Each level contains 15 tunnel entrances. Tunnels on the top lead directly to the tunnels directly below and vice versa for tunnels below. Tunnel entrances are marked by a black sqaure and doorway.

2. Three hundreds years ago a war broke out between the dominant races of the planet Zenduria. The war which last many years and cost millions of lives devasted the planet as well as the population. In the 23rd year of the war a biological weapon was created and released which ended the war. The weapon not only destroyed humaoid lives, but much of the animal and plant life as well. Resources required for humaniod survival were greatly diminished. Some of the remaining survivors went underground to make their existence in the hundreds of the miles of tunnels already in existance. Others remained on top in isolated groups. Today only four distinct races exist. Resources have continued to dwindle over the last three hundred years forcing minor confrontations between the races from time to time. Usuable land and redily available resources are now strained to the limit. Leaders of the four races have decided that to survive they must eliminate the others. Your job is to ensure the survival of your race by eliminating all comptetion for food, water and usuable land.

3. Trying to balance out the scenerio was harder than I orginally though it would be. Though I have played the game through many times successfully with and without bio-hazard I am open to suggestions of scenerio alternations. If you have suggestions to change the opening scenerio pleae feel free to email me at joe.alotofthings AT hotmail.com.

Many thanks to Engie for his conceptual help with this map, to Paranoiarodeo for his technical help, and to Enokrad for the overground.

Please only use the starting scenario for this map. Best if played at 0%; 5, 10, 15; 30-35 seconds.

Fight the Power! Can you break through your column and storm the capital? Or will you use espionage try to co-opt a rival column? Will you use the Thirteenth Floor to skip ahead in your column, or will you battle increasing resistance (for increasing income) through the middle?

Each rebel plank square gives income, as do the Agitation (2nd and 3rd), Espionage (4th), Propaganda (5th), Sabotage (6th) and Sedition (7th) squares. The Supply Rooms do not give income, but may help players get a necessary early card. The Espionage squares may one-way attack any rival column's Stockade Firewall, and then enter the column through the Rebel Plank square. The outside star of the capital is reachable from each column's Sedition square, and can one-way attack each column's Rebel Plank square. The Dominion star (the inside of the capital) is only accessible from the outside tier. It offers no pathing help at all, but tremendous income if conquered.

My 9th map, hand-drawn as always.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/The%20Fifth%20Column Milltycoon 2011-03-25T02:52:58-04:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Thirty%20Years%20War

1618:
One hundred years after Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, Western Europe is a powder keg of sectarian tensions. A minor rebellion in Bohemia provides the spark, plunging the continent into flames. Before the dust settles, Germany will be severely depopulated and Europe will have learned a valuable lesson about the importance of religious tolerance.

You can move from letter (or letter fragment) to adjacent letter or letter fragment via the orange arrows. You can also move alphabetically from letter to consecutive letter, either forward or backward (i.e., from either fragment of V to U or to either fragment of W.) A and Z do not connect.

Hand drawn as always. My 8th Lux map.

1.2 Update: Most letters have become self-contained continents (all except J, X, Q and Z). A few new territories have been added to facilitate this.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Scrabble%20Letters%20Lux Milltycoon 2011-03-09T15:07:32-05:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Indonesia

Modern Indonesia. Emerging superpower. Rule the seas and win the game- a combination of land & sea strategies.
Make player 6 a stinky or communist for the starting scenario.
Dotted lines on oceans and seas are boundary lines not connections.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Indonesia John Welsh 2011-03-06T15:57:59-05:00 http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/Luxketball

Basketball's greatest players pass you the ball. Can you score and win?

Hand-drawn over a picture of a court. My third Lux map.
1.3 UPDATE: Improved the clarity of most lines and curves of the territories, and added a couple of new country connections.

Another tribute to classic Sci-Fi.

1. Board Info
2. Background Story.
3. Revisions

1. Scenario is a four player game with a fifth non-player. There are 716 countries and 34 continents in all. Board size is 1200x900 so it is suitable for screen resolutions 1280x1024 and above.

2. Super sized, super strong and semi-intelligent insects and arachnids created by man in an attempt to make weapons which would not damage the land where battles took place have broken out of their confinement. As the leader of your hive you must fight the other remaining hives for the right to make it out of the underground bunker where you have been bred.

Earth some 65 Million Years ago. It is warm, fertile and teeming with life. But all that is about to change when almost overnight the planet becomes largely uninhabitable.

"From the mythical cradle of human thought in the Garden of Eden, to the farthest reaches of human imagination, the map plots out mankind's achievements, trials, and tribulations throughout history. We have constructed a world made up of our own actions and beliefs, as much as the one formed by the land we live on. The map of humanity is formed by our thought, our feelings, our dreams, and our nightmares"
