I know the idea is to have an oddly shaped map play identically to the
Standard map, but I'd personally make one change, and play it as a variant.
I'd make the circular central "outside" passable and a sea province. That
way, your unnamed (on the map) central province, named "Switzerwater",
perhaps, would really serve to facilitate movement through all the water
provinces. Having it as a land province, or as an impassable province
(which makes it equivalent to Standard), kind of blocks things up.

I was bored the other day so I came up w this. It's IDENTICAL to the
standard map and entirely playable as a standard game... except it is
completely inverted topologically. The standard map has two unplayable
regions... Switzerland, and the "outside"... this map takes the outside
to the middle, and Switzerland to the outside, but otherwise is
completely equivalent to playing on the standard map.

Yes, it is similar in concept to the wraparound variants, only here the wrap would be in all directions.
Switzerwater would mess up a lot of stalemate lines. I don't know if it would result in a completely stalemate-free variant.

Definitely an interesting idea, it would be akin in the regular
map to
any fleet being able to go off the edge and come back on
anywhere else.
Would totally change the dynamic, as for example Moscow would
now have a
coast (bordering only switzerlake) but a coast nonetheless. Sev would
have two coasts... one on the Black Sea and another on the lake.
France
can directly attack Russia, and England can directly attack Turkey
(via-NAT-Switzerlake- and then any of EMS, Syr, or Arm). Really
removesthe corner safety aspect of the game. Russia becomes the most
vulnerable, since a fleet in that space can hit StP, Mos, or
Sev. So
much that it's almost imperative that Russia build a 1st year
fleet and
take that spot for himself just to keep others out.
Would this one single change eliminate the possibility of stalemate
lines?

| Spring 01 Results! - test_gm (Sep 13, 2007, 12:00 am) |
Epic break out across a peaceful Eurasia!
The Slumbering Russian Giant wakes and rolls out into the world. Yet
it is met with resistance almost everywhere it turns! Austrian forces
clash with the Siberian Dreadnoughts and it is only in the northern
reaches of the country that Russia is able to make any headway. Yet
while they struggle fruitlessly to push their fleets into Rumania they
awaken to find that the Turkish Navy has taken control of the Black
Sea! Other movements troop movements are reported from within the
Turkish borders and a sizable army has made it's way in to bordering
Bulgaria.
Meanwhile Germany expands virtually unimpeded to both the north and
the south while Italy seems content to slip their fleets into the
uncontested Mediterranean waters. But not all goes quietly for Italy
when the Austrian Navy tries to seize control of Venice. Sadly their
ships prove to large for the narrow canals and the army is able to
repel their advance. Meanwhile France and England head in two
different directions, entirely unopposed.
As more conflict looms in the near future where will the armies turn next?
