Gonzo's
Dead, and we're stuck while the America train flies off the rails.
That said, here's a real cheap map I threw together while half-asleep.
For 4 players.
Who's
Gonzo: Hunter S. Thompson. Baka yaro.
Where have you been the past 40 years?
What's
Special: Nothing, absolutely nothing. I needed one
more map to fill out the save file, and I couldn't come up with
anything good after Adventure, which is just about the best AW map
I've designed.
So,
in frustration, I drew a dozen or so doughnuts, added more beachfront
than south Florida, and dropped bridges in a haphazard fashion.
The whole thing was dead and buried in twenty minutes. Knock yerselves
out.
Strategy:
What strategy? There's no stinkin' strategy on this board. Everyone
has a corner and four factories. There are a bunch of cities waiting
to be plundered (if all else fails, issue a terror alert - it works
on the suckers every time) and soldiers waiting to be killed. Last
man standing wins.
Maybe
it's just creative burnout rearing its head. But I spent many
an hour trying to make a couple different maps work (I even
drew in a happy face for kicks), but they just kept turning
into mush. So maybe it's better to stop thinking and just throw
something together.
Consolidate
your hold on the corner, then move out and take down the other
players. Pretty easy, eh? Easier said than done.
Is
This Fun?: Yeah, sure. Why not? Sometimes it's just
better to get off the damned road and let the kids have their fun.
And goodness knows I've managed to run you all through the ringer
many a time on all my other maps.
Hell,
I'd be tempted to put together a level that looks like that old
classic Warlords, with the castles in the corners and nothing
else. It sure wouldn't look pretty or be very complicated, but it
would let you bash some heads fairly easily. That's what this map
offers: simple, dumb violence.
It's
either that or your local sports bar. |
