First of all I apologize if this suggestion have already been made and rejected, I didn't had enough time to check all 5 pages from Suggestion category.
My idea is like this: The whole map to be divided in many small parts/territories maybe like 55 parts or even 110, depending on the size of the map (also the number to be divisible by 11). Each village will have ONE territory of the map that will be forever theirs. (that territory will be, of course, the one that the village is placed on. I will call those territories default territories). Also, each territory will have a Shinobi Outpost which will behave like the main center, except the default ones that have as main center the village itself. Every month there will be a World War, where every shinobi that belongs to a village (or even rogues if they ally with a village) conquer a territory. Now, at the very begging of the game, all territories will be neutral (except the default ones) so the shinobis will only have to go to the Shinobi Outpost and put their village flag/sign resulting in capturing the whole territory. In the following wars, the shinobi will have to defend their territories by staying in it's outpost protecting the flag or to attack enemy territories and conquer them by replacing the flag. Overall, this war will be like an "open world capture the point". If a player dies in this war, he will wake up in the hospital, and he will stay there until the war ends.
Sorry for my bad english. If something is unclear please ask and I will try to reformulate. I look forward to hear your opinions.
