Diplo - Infinity 2.1
In a time of poverty and uncertainty, Europe is plunged into chaos. You are but one nation among many that must use all your resources and man power to survive. Forge alliances and crush all who oppose you. Empires will rise and fall. But in the end, only a few will prevail. This is Diplomacy.
Specifications
•Up to 7 Players
•Jungle Tileset
•256x256 Map Size
Features
There are various Modes you can select in the beginning:
•Basic Diplomacy Mode: This is the standard, default mode that is just normal Diplomacy game.
•Greed Mode: First Nation to get either 60000 Minerals or 75 Gas wins.
•WW2 Mode: Europe is setup just like WW2. It's Axis vs Allies with pre-set alliances.
•Phantom Mode: Just like the map Phantom, you must weed out which Human Player is the phantom. Anyone could be it; all are suspects. The Phantom will be elusive and try to get all other players to destroy each other. Vigilance is the key to victory.
•Insane AI Mode: All nations are allied against the enormous computer that is bid on destroying all Human kind. You have roughly an hour and a half to annihilate the Computer.
•"?" Modes: These 2 Modes are unknown that must somehow be unlocked to play.
Screenshots / Demo
Beta Testing is closed-house (started about a week and a half ago). There will be a Beta2 before the final release. What I am looking for are suggestions for those who have played any previous Infinity versions and have suggestions. (preferably v2.0 since prior versions are quite different) If I get private requests from people, I'd be happy to let you help me Beta testing. My goal is to make this map amazing.
Made with Production Template (keep this link to help propagate this template or you get smitten!)

You should first explain to people what your map is about becuase some will not know. Mnay are melee players. Second, post some screen shots of the map.
I got some questions though. Is this going to be europe only? or will it be split into two halfs?

Uh.. Like I said before, I don't know how to post pics... 
If you're a Melee player, and you have no idea what Diplomacy is.. ugh... It's basically a map where you choose your country and must conquer the whole map. That's more or less it.
Why would it be split into two fields? It's been in Europe for the last 3 years..
This map isn't new, this is just the newest version.
I must admit, I'm very disappointed to the response on this board since on other boards there's been some insane interaction which I am using to drastically improve the map. So, if that'd happen here.. that'd be great..

Your not getting any repsonses cause your first few posts looks amature.
Why it would be split? Cause a few diplomacy maps have come out where the upper half is Europe, and the bottom half is the Pacific. I always thought those types of maps were interesting.
There is a posting map making template, I think its at the top of the Maps in Production thread, use it

Make the transports weaker. They are way too good in the diplomacy maps.

Yer, I used to play quite a bit (and starting to play more now too. I won 3 games yesterdya, haha those czech newbs 
). I was referring to the dropship and the italian transport in Diplomacy 7.7 being WAY too strong. You can never shoot them down. Maybe half their armour or something. I've never really played Diplo Infinity tho, so I don't know.

Good, now your map looks more respectable.
What I have always liked is ports...
You know, an invincible pylon and stargate in some countries.
This maybe hard to do, but make water units ONLY be able to move on water. This could be done with locations and simple triggers, but it may take awhile. I always hate the people who attack me on land with battle SHIPS..... That way Starports can be air fields and stargates can be ports.
That also makes it so if you want to move a LARGE force from say GB to Libya, you would have to use transports that can only be on water (and maybe allow 1 or 2 squares of land that boats can go on). That would also make water canal choke points actually important. Like the water way inbetween Spain and Africa. Sicily and Africa.
You could also make trade routes, by placing a doodad in the water, who ever controls that area gets 50+ minerals a second or something like that.
This whole water method would reduce drops becuase the ships wouldn't be able to move on land. Now you could make a shuttle an air transport, but make it very weak so you can't use it to drop.

Man I totally loved that idea. Apparently I just got owned coz someone used Italian trasport and dropped in my base. I built turrets and bunkers all around my base and I couldn't even take one transport down. 7.7 is So rigged. =\

this looks like a diplomacy that is really going to be a hit. me and my friend Tk(o)Hannibal RAPED Diplomacys but now he is dead so boo...

Dead? I hope that's not literal... 
Well, this map is awesome, but it needs some serious exposure. Ideally, when then final is released, if it were posted on the Home page of this site, that'd OWN. I have lots of support from other StarCraft sites, but this ones been a tad sluggish in response.
So, please help me with suggestions and bugs, let's dethrone that terrible Diplo Gold 7.7.
PS: I've taken into account the above recommendations!
ADDITION:
Sorry for the double post, BUT, what will it take for people on this site to help me...? Seriously, I'd like some input and am reaching out to this community for help... So, if ANYONE plays Diplomacy, perhaps some help would be nice...

Dude, this site has very high standards, they will only post if you post GOOD screen shots of features new or never before scene. Also try and advertize your map in your signature and such. Go onto Star craft and go to channel Op SeN, and talk about your map there. Maybe even put your orginial diplo map on this site and then link it to this thread, telling people to try it out.
You need this topic to be interactive and new to these people, they are a tough crowd.

Thank you for replying Daddy0420. I've looked at the other posts for promoting maps and have pretty much done the same thing.. Adding more screenshots would be a tad pointless since good is in the eye of the beholder...
I'll try going to Op SEN and I'll send in the latest pub version of my map that is available which is v2.0.
Please guys, I know most maps in this area ("Maps in Production") are rarely Diplomacy maps. Let's make this a success!
