R:TW Map Based Survivor

[Al Khalifah]

For a new bit-of-fun-game idea for this board - I figured how about instead of the usual format for these "survivor game" things why not instead use the actual RTW map and its provinces instead of the abstract idea of "points."

The idea:

Each faction starts with its original provinces as in vanilla. Then each poster can once a day take a region from one faction and give it to another simulating a R:TW style conquest of that region. The twist is that in order to take a region a a faction must either own a bordering province or be able to quickly make a naval convoy to that province from one of its own.

A map is provided for reference giving the starting provinces coloured. From time to time, it might be a good idea to recolour this map. If anyone has a better version of the map for this purpose that would be useful.

Try to keep it realable. ie Romans Julii capturing Latium in turn one - while we would all like it to happen - is just dull. Oh and try to keep the conquests interesting. Potential for humour or great tales...
