Rough map of the ancient Near East. Some borders are exaggerated and estimated and the map by no means serves as a snapshot from a certain time. The idea is to focus on pre-Persian empires in the ancient Near East, with a focus on the Hittite Kingdom.

Manatus, gelegen op de Noot riuier, 1639
Manhattan, situated on the North river, 1639

This 1639 map is the earliest portrayal of Manhattan and its environs. The map may have been drawn by Johannes Vingboons, cartographer to the Prince of Nassau for the West India Company of Holland. This map, possibly done to encourage Dutch settlement, depicts plantations and small farms. The list of references includes a grist mill, two sawmills and "Quarters of the Blacks, the Company's Slaves." See http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/trm068.html

For Lux I rearranged things a bit, to make it a playable map. The names of the territories are also from the 1639 map, but the text was difficult to read, and could have been misinterpreted in some cases.

The Picture on the bottom is also from Johannes Vingboons, but from 1665, showing Nieuw Amsterdam from the south.

For more information about the early history of New York see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Amsterdam

A young man from Macedonia, having taken control of the union of Greek city states 5 years earlier, marched in the year 330BC to spread the boarders of the Hellenic Empire and defeat, their century old rival, the Persian Empire. Before his death at the age of 33, on June 10 of the year 323 BC, he had marched victoriously through most of the known world at the time. Asides crushing the Persian Empire, his conquests included Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Judea, Gaza, Egypt, Bactria and Mesopotamia, and had extended the boundaries of his own empire as far as Punjab, India. This young man, Alexander III of Macedon, was the first king ever to be called the Great. Do you have what it takes rival Alexander’s conquests?

Based on Europe Large, this map is based on the military situation one month after the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the thrown of Austria-Hungary. Ferdinand was killed by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip on June 7, 1914, and now the Austro-Hungarian Empire has issued an ultimatum to Serbia, surrender or prepare for war.
However, Russia had other plans. The Russians had signed a defensive alliance with the Serbians which they were ready to honor. They began to mobilize their large reserve army, as well as prepare the standing armies on the border for battle.
Austria-Hungary, now faced with the threat of Russia's enormous army, nicknamed "the steamroller", called on their own ally, Germany, to help them. The German's declared war against Russia and began to prepare. But the escalation wasn't finished yet.
The French would not miss a chance to seek revenge on their German rivals, and entered the war. Germany, now faced with a two front war needed a plan. They tried to quickly crush France with an early strike, then move troops to the Russian front to halt "the steamroller". The Germans attacked France, but had to crush neutral Belgium to do so.
This violation of Belgium's neutrality brought the British, who had been spoiling to knock Germany down a knotch for a decade, into the war. Now this was a World War, and the stage was set for a dramatic fight. Can the German's overwhelm the French before British forces arrive to assist them? Will the massive Russian army rally, or can the Austro-Hungarians, and Germans hold their own in the East. What will the unalligned countries, the Italians, Spanish, Scandanavians, Balkan Countries and the Ottoman Empire do?

The thin white lines over water denote a two-way connection between territories, while the thicker white arrow denotes a one-way connection. The British Royal Navy dominates the North Sea, so the allies are allowed to invade Norway, but they cannot be invaded by that route.

Team 1: Central Powers (Germany and Austria-Hungary)
Team 2: Russia (and Serbia)
Team 3: Allies (Britain, France, Portugal, and Greece)
Team 4: Unalligned Countries (Spain, Norway, Sweden, Italy, and the Balkan States.
Team 5: Ottoman Empire
Team 6 (Empty): Neutral nations (Holland, and Switzerland)

On April 2, 1982 Argentinian Forces claimed sovereignty and invaded the virtually undefended British Colonies: The Falkland Islands and South Georgia, both in the South Atlantic.

With little infrastructure on the Island, the 74-day war was fought mainly at sea. The limited amount of airstrips on the islands could not support fast aircraft but proved to be a hot commodity regardless.

Ryanoceros 2009-02-16T14:16:00-05:00 War of the Five Kings http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/War%20of%20the%20Five%20Kings

The War of the Five Kings has begun!

Lead one of the five great houses to victory and a permanent seat upon the coveted Iron Throne.

- House Stark of Winterfell
- House Tully of Riverrun
- Houses Baratheon and Lannister of Storm's End and Casterly Rock
- House Tyrel of Highgarden
- House Martell of Dorne

In addition to these houses you may have to contend with House Arryn of the Eyrie, the barbarians beyond the Wall, and the fearsome House Greyjoy of Pyke which holds an important sea route.

Most castles are surrounded by a "siege zone" with a negative point value. This is meant to simulate the cost of besieging a heavily defended castle.

Keep in mind that not only do you lose points by taking a siege zone, but your opponent technically gains points. So be sure to end a siege as quick as possible.

You may be tempted to allow a siege to remain unbroken; this can be an effective way of increasing your men per turn. But be warned, the enemy can use that siege zone to attack virtually every surrounding territory. You must judge if it is worth the risk.

This map is balanced for starting scenario play, I recommend using a 2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4 card progression and a 5% increase per turn. Higher percent increases can be used, I find the map works best when most of your points come from territories as opposed to cards.]]> http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/War%20of%20the%20Five%20Kings Baudolino 2009-02-16T09:32:39-05:00 colombian cartels http://sillysoft.net/lux/maps/colombian%20cartels
