As much as i would enjoy playing any of the urban/city maps suggested in this thread. I am not a map guru however if i had a New York wish list (or maybe event a variant of New York or a simplified city version), where the setting would me a italian mafia/triad/ russian mafia families. The commands would be an area assigned to particular families. The territories would be buildings in the city. Liquor stores, laundromats, Pubs, Money Lenders, Police Stations, Banks etc. Special bonus buildings could typically be a casino.

This is what the competition has come up with for New York City. Simple.

That looks pretty cool!

I feel like some of the middle regions should be worth more than 3..........as opposed to just one region being worth 6. Probably did not study it enough........when will that map go on line??? How long play tested??

It is being tested right now. Should be live by next weekend.

You may be right about some of the regions needing to be 4. It's easier to know for sure after actually playing the map.

Was this ever looked into further?

I'm going to keep going ahead with this map idea, because I personally think it's the best we have going so far... and I could see this becoming a series of urban/city maps.

Here's what i think would be a far superior version of a New York map; smaller, 42 regions, with straightforward bonuses. Since there aren't many great places to start there are special bonuses for holding all three airports and all three stadiums. I feel smaller is better for this map because so much of the map area is water/dead space... trying to cram all of those regions into Manhattan is possible, but it will be rather messy to play on. I like clean maps.

Meh - caught an error. Jersey has ten regions in this version. It's still 42 total - I was toying with making Queens 1- and Jersey nine, and I'm still not sure which is better. Probably Queens at 10, since we're trying to downplay the Jersey side.

The idea that was discussed earlier about giving no bonus for New Jersey is a good one... the Jersey regions would still have value for their part in the stadium and airport bonuses, and as a route of travel from Manhattan to Staten Island. That would actually make the map pretty interesting IMHO.

sheperd i think this map looks great & would be a cool new addition to MAJCOM can i ask how do u design these maps & actually make them a finished product??? or is that top secret?
