This is a game that I, Majikal Mapping, have invented, pulling together ideas I've seen on multiple forums. This game is a lot like the board game R.I.S.K, in which every nation strives for dominance. In this game, YOU become the leader of one of nine nations all battling it out for control of the British Isles. You can make temporary alliances with other nations, who are played by your fellow mappers, but in the end, only one nation will have complete control over England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland! Will it be you? Or will you be outmatched in strategy and courage? Join the game now and find out! After the game is over, I will be using everything that happens in this game to create a mapping video featuring all of your nations!
How Do I Get A Nation?
Look at the map below.
Each color is a nation. The game has started, so you cannot join any longer. Please leave the editing of the map to me.
Red: HappyDance9: Saxöns
Orange: Ingomapping: Kingdom of Celtic Ireland
Dark Green:
Light Green:
Magenta: Asdf Mapping: Empire of York
Yellow: MikiPL004: Greater Cornwall
Dark Blue:
Purple:
Light Blue:Ubungantu: Strathclyde
I will update this map every day.
How Do I Play Once I Have My Nation?
THE GAME HAS STARTED. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TURN ONCE A DAY.
The map above will be the "game board." As you can see, it is split into "territories." After you take your turns, I will use an editing software to show how many territories each nation has.
This game is played right here, in the comment section of this wiki article. The game is played in turns. Every player can take one turn per IRL day. A typical turn will consist of you, the player, saying something like this:
"The Majik Empire invades Naziland."
Or maybe:
"The Majik Empire requests an alliance with Booton, and then invades Naziland, cutting a path to Punderland."
Or Perhaps:
"The Majik Empire attacks Naziland's Southernmost city."
And that's all you have to worry about. You can invade another nation once per day. You can only invade a nation right next to you, or a nation that is connected to you through the black lines stretching over the sea. Depending on how much land your nation has, (and how much luck you get), your attack will take anywhere from one to seven territories from the defending nation. I will tell you how many territories you took, after doing the math for you. You can only attack one nation per turn.
Cities
Cities are marked by the black house symbols on the map. Cities are important to defend. Having a lot of cities makes your attacks more powerful. You can choose to attack an enemy's city if it is directly next to your nation. You cannot attack a city in the same turn as you invade normal territories. Cities can be hard to defeat and may take multiple turns. If you want to know why this is, see "What Determines How Successful An Attack Is." It is advised to not bother taking out cities until you have a good amount of territories under your control, otherwise it may take a lot of tries.
What Determines How Successful An Attack Is?
If you don't feel like getting confused at all, you do not need to read this part. This is all what I will do behind the scenes in order to tell you how many territories you took, or whether or not you conquered a city. But if you really want to know what it is that determines what happens in the game, read on.
Every nation has a certain amount of power. A nations power is equal to the amount of territories it controls. Cities count as three territories.
When you invade a nation, the amount of territories you take is equal to one-fifth of your nation's power (rounded down) plus a random number, 1 to 3. I will use Random.org to randomly give this number.
When you attack a city, the same procedure is followed, as if you were normally attacking. If you get a 5 or higher, you conquer the city.
