  1. MotF 41: Gold!

    The year is 1912. The Tunguska Event of 1908 not only flattens trees in Siberia; the air-bursting meteor showers the whole region with a strange alien mineral, named Tunguskium by scientists. It is discovered that Tunguskium is an incredibly potent energy source, as it burns like coal but...

  2. Map Thread VIII

    Very cool Beedok, although China red and anti-corporate red are too similar, I wasn't sure what was going on with China at first

  3. Map Thread VII

    My map from MoF 36, see that thread for a full description. Basically, it's an alien invasion, but luckily they like the deep desert so we're not really in competition for land. Also rather than being shiny teched-up enlightened beings, the aliens are dirty space bums a la District 9. And the...

  4. MotF 36: They Arrived

    The aliens were not what anyone expected. For one, the best description anybody can agree to is that they look like a cross between a large dog and a beetle. Secondly, they appear to be adapted to desert environments. Their ships came down in the Sahara and they eventually began settling there...

  5. MotF 34: Dancing with the Devil

    2033. The "Arab Spring" of 2011 was not nearly as quick and bloodless as the 1989 collapse of the Warsaw Pact (to which it was compared early on), and for nearly a decade, the cycle of revolution and counter-revolution played out across the Middle East and North Africa. By 2020 things had...

  7. MotF 32: Never Again

    In 2010, a Florida pastor named Larry Wilson, through some sort of glitch in reality, experiences an extremely realistic dream (which he will later describe as a vision) of the very real Arab-Israeli Conflict of 2020. The Conflict is actually a significant but very local conflict between Israel...

  9. MotF 31: All You Can Annex Buffet

    Most of the description is in the map, just a few notes: -The POD is that the pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan collapses slightly later, after the Iranian Revolution has already begun, and the USSR assesses Iran to be a bigger threat than the mujihadeen. The US, seeing the Soviets back...

  10. Experimental Logical Colo(u)r Scheme

    Not a bad idea, although I wouldn't be surprised if the final result was sort of ugly. That being said, might I suggest... R= Foreign policy: pacifism > aggression G= Economic policy: laissez-faire > central control B= Social policy: libertarian > state-enforced morality

  11. Map Thread VII

    In regards to Jovian Antarctica, this is kind of a nitpick but I doubt Britain would claim an icy wasteland when it's already inhabited by an alien power. But I'm willing to suspend my disbelief because it's so damn cool. :cool:

  12. MotF 30: The Ministry Of Truth

    And the map...

  13. MotF 30: The Ministry Of Truth

    The specific POD is the execution of Nelson Mandela and 10 others at the Rivonia trial in 1964 (yes, I have used that one before, this map could be considered a sequel). This leads to a much bloodier decolonization including a civil war in South Africa, which results in all of Southern Africa...

  14. MotF 28: Sons of Chaos

    Pretty self-explanatory: a Rastafari movement actively promoted by Haile Selassie I (still in exile after an Axis victory/stalemate) and used as guerillas.

  15. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    Glad people like my suggestions! I think that Sons of Chaos and The Gun is Our Government are different enough that it would be hard to combine them, but similar enough that if one got picked, the people rooting for the other would still be able to work in elements of the other. E.g., a Sons of...

  16. Map of the Fortnight: Main thread

    If anyone has the inclination, somebody should definitely go through the old suggestions and find some good ones and then post them here. I mean it's all well and good to say "use some old suggestions that never got picked", but which ones? Personally I think we need fewer maps of neat little...

  17. Map Thread VII

    Very original! :cool: A few of the colors are off, though, for example I noticed the Venetian gang doesn't control Venice, I think they got switched with the Lombards. But other than that it's awesome, we need more crime maps and other "themed" maps on this board.

  18. Map Thread VII

    Bruce, man, I like the map a lot, but that green sea... U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, it's ugly. ;) Also, I notice a lot of your maps have technocracies in Brazil... is there something about Brazil that makes you think they're predisposed towards technocracy, or is it just sort of a...

  19. Map Thread VII

    Kairos: Very nice, although a bit of an Italy- and Spain-wank. AmericanCataphract: Maybe 2050, 2060? I don't like to put too definite a date on FH maps, especially the rather implausible ones, but it's mid-21st century or at least near-future.
