User blog:Yan Hoek/Random Map Game Idea

Just a random thought, has anyone ever tried to do a map game in the style of Settlers of Catan?

I was just thinking along the lines of a post-ice age reclamation of Europe scenario. Divide Europe into hexagons, sprinkle resources randomly, roll back the ice cap and tundra every few turns and let tribes battle it out for the future of Europe?

This would last from say 18,000 BC to maybe 1000 BC in 250/500yr intervals. Maybe going beyond that if people were interested.

Feel free to shoot down...
