Cyberboard Gamebox
Hello and wellcome to the cyberboard gamebox section. First of all I have to clarify that this is a very very soon ALPHA version. The main purpose to publish it as early It’s because I will really thank any ideas or any help to improve it and to correct the several mistakes that I’m sure it contains, not only graphical, also historical and for the gameplay. I have done all this work by my own so I would be grateful if you colaborate sending your opinions, ideas or comments about this gamebox to this email : hellenization@gmail.com, thank you very much for your help.
Some comments about the map : I have tried to use locations from the archaic to the hellenistic period , I have tried to be as accurate as I have been able , understand that I’m not a professional just only an amateur. The main purpose of this map it’s playing advanced civilization using advanced civilization project rules and some few ones modified by me to adjust better the game to ancient greek scene. You can play the map as you prefer, be free for that. I have designed this gamebox for an optimal number of nine players, but I have included 11 civilizations looking for a widest branch of types of games. You can notice that I have included only 10 playermaths, the main reason for this has been a lack of space, If you want to use Thebes instead Minoa you would have to use the minoic playermath.
In the development I have thought mainly in two different scenes:
1-Historical game : My idea is to reproduce those conflictives ages when during centuries city-states where fighting one versus each other. Playing civilizations would be all except Minoa and Epirus. A lot of conflicts will follow since the beginning of the game between the city-states, Persia and Macedon will have a lot of land to expand their civilizations but few city-dots. Syracuse will live from the distance the greek polis evolution.
2-The balanced game : For those who prefer something more classical and quiet : Playing civilizations would be all except Corinth and Thebes. This can result a less stressful game, I think that the game could be more or less balanced , I have tried to compensate the possible unfairness with a softest AST.In contrast to the original version and to approach the game to Hellenistic world context I have tried to give more importance to sea domination, the real key for civilizations cultural and demographic expansion during that ages.
Anyway it’s up to you what kind of game do you prefer, as I have told before you are free to use this map as you want. Have fun !!.
If you want to see an example of the game you can find lots of information in this page: at this webpage.

USER CUSTOMIZED GAMEBOX
This is the Hellenization gamebox but without cities in the map . You can customize it setting cities wherever you want.
I have designed this new gamebox due to a great amount of people asking me for different settings (most of them about cities distribution) seeking for a more balanced game. I don’t have a unique solution for all the different requests so I have decided to create this new gamebox for all those who have enjoyed my work and want to do their own city setup. To all of them thank you very much for your comments.
I like the original Hellenization board and I’m sorry but I will not do drastical changes on it. When I though in current distribution was from a historical perspective, but also looking for a balanced gameplay. In the future I will correct found bugs and other little details, perhaps the number of cities and also sure some area’s value, but like I have said before nothing drastical.I hope this new gamebox will be a good solution to those gamers looking for his own city-balanced games.
