I created this map not to trivialize or justify the violent attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021 by a mob of Trump supporters whose goal was to overturn a democratic election. Instead I think it is critical that this day not be minimized or swept under the rug, and it seems that anti-democratic forces are already trying to rewrite the history of that day. I created this map, because I hope in some small way to help keep its memory alive in our collective consciousness.

• Territories outside the capital have a +1 hordes bonus. Inside the capitol there is a +2 hordes bonus.
• Control the house or senate to get +5 in hand, and an additional +5 if you control both.
• Washington Monument is worth +3
• Controlling Trump gets +10 factory bonus on that territory, but it caps at out 20 units, so will not increase the total unit count on the territory above 20 units.
• Smithsonian territories (marked with a sun) are collector continents, worth +1 for each pair.

There is also a significant per territory bonus - +1 for every 2 territories.

Vision - There are additional vision borders to see up to 3 territories away, but you cannot see from inside the capitol to outside or vice versa.

On January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. was stormed during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize Joe Biden's victory. The Capitol complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated while rioters occupied and vandalized the building for several hours. More than 140 people were injured in the storming. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event.

Called to action by Trump, thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., on January 5 and 6 in support of his false claim that the 2020 election had been “stolen” from him, and to demand that Vice President Mike Pence and Congress reject Biden's victory.Starting at noon on January 6, at a “Save America” rally on the Ellipse, Trump repeated false claims of election irregularities and said, “If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.” While he was still speaking, thousands of attendees walked to the Capitol, and hundreds breached police perimeters, as Congress was beginning the electoral vote count. Many in the crowd at the Capitol stormed the building, occupying, vandalizing, and looting it for several hours. They assaulted Capitol Police officers and reporters, erected a gallows on the Capitol grounds, and attempted to locate lawmakers to capture and harm. Some rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence”, after Pence's rejection of false claims by Trump and others that the vice president could overturn the election results. The rioters vandalized and looted the offices of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–CA), as well as those of other members of Congress.

Starting at 11:58, Trump gave a speech, declaring he would “never concede” the election, criticizing the media and calling for Pence to overturn the election results, something outside Pence's constitutional power. His speech contained many falsehoods and misrepresentations that inflamed the crowd.

Trump called for his supporters to “walk down to the Capitol” to “cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women and we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.” He told the crowd he would be going with them. As to the counting of Biden's electoral votes, Trump said, “We can't let that happen” and suggested Biden would be an “illegitimate president”. Trump also said, “you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated.”

During Trump's speech, his supporters chanted “Take the Capitol”: “Taking the Capitol right now”; “Invade the Capitol”; “Storm the Capitol”; and “Fight for Trump.” The New York Times places the fall of the first barriers at 1:03 p.m. Before Trump had finished speaking at 1:12 p.m., an estimated eight thousand supporters had begun moving up the National Mall, with some shouting that they were storming the Capitol.

On January 6, the “Save America” rally of Trump supporters filled The Ellipse, which is just south of the White House grounds and about 1.6 miles from the Capitol.

President Trump arrived and began speaking about noon. At various points during his speech, he encouraged the crowd to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol. Before he had finished speaking, members of the crowd began walking toward the Capitol “in a steady stream”.

The Proud Boys contingent reached the west perimeter of the Capitol grounds, which was protected by temporary fences in front of a sparse line of police, and other Trump supporters arrived, forming a growing crowd. At 12:53 rioters, including Proud Boys, broke through the barriers, and onto the Capitol grounds for the first time. The police struggled to contain them. Meanwhile, at The Ellipse, Oath Keepers wearing black hoodies with prominent logos left the rally at 12:52 and changed into Army Combat Uniforms, with helmets, on their way to the Capitol.

Around 1:00 p.m., hundreds of Trump supporters clashed with officers and pushed through barriers along the perimeter of the Capitol. The crowd swept past barriers and officers, with some members of the mob spraying officers with chemical agents or hitting them with lead pipes. Although many rioters simply walked to the doors of the Capitol, some resorted to ropes and makeshift ladders.

Just before 2:00 p.m. rioters reached the doors and windows of the Capitol and began attempts to break in. Around 2:11 they used a piece of lumber to break through a window, and a minute later began climbing through it into the building. Proud Boys member Dominic Pezzola, who had seized a Capitol Police plastic shield, used it to smash through another window at 2:12 and entered, followed by more rioters. The mob streamed into the National Statuary Hall.

While debate over the Arizona electoral college votes continued, an armed police officer entered the Senate chamber. The rioters began to climb the stairs towards the Senate chamber. A lone Capitol Police officer, Eugene Goodman, worked to slow the mob down as he radioed that they had reached the second floor. Just steps from the still-unsealed Senate chamber doors, the rioters instead followed the Capitol Police officer, leading them back away from the Senate. Banging could be heard from outside as people attempted to breach the doors. As Lankford was speaking, the Senate was gaveled into recess, and the doors were locked at 2:15. A minute later, the rioters reached the gallery outside the chamber. A police officer carrying a semi-automatic weapon appeared on the floor and stood between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) exasperatedly threw up his hands and directly criticized several fellow Republicans who were challenging President-elect Biden's electoral votes, yelling to them, “This is what you've gotten, guys.”

With senators still in the chamber, Trump reached Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) by phone and told him to do more to block the counting of Biden's electoral votes. The call had to be cut off when the Senate chamber was evacuated at 2:30. After evacuation, the mob briefly took control of the chamber, with some armed and armored men carrying plastic handcuffs and some posing with raised fists on the Senate dais that Pence had left minutes earlier

Meanwhile, in the House chamber around 2:15 while Gosar was speaking, Speaker Pelosi was escorted out of the chamber. The House was gaveled into recess, but would resume a few minutes later. Amid the security concerns, Representative Dean Phillips (D–MN) yelled, “This is because of you!” at his Republican colleagues. The House resumed debate around 2:25. About 2:30, when Gosar finished speaking, the House went into recess again. The rioters had entered the House wing and were attempting to enter the Speaker's Lobby just outside the House chamber.  With violence breaking out, Capitol security advised the members of Congress to take cover. Members of Congress inside the House chamber were told to put on gas masks, as law enforcement had begun using tear gas within the building

An armed standoff took place at the front door of the chamber of the House of Representatives: as the mob attempted to break in, federal law enforcement officers drew their guns inside and pointed them towards the chamber doors, which were barricaded with furniture. Five people died before, during or after the event: one was a Capitol Police officer, and four were among those who protested or stormed, including one stormer shot by a Capitol Police officer. At least 138 officers were injured, including at least 15 who were hospitalized, some with severe injuries. Some rioters beat officers' heads with lead pipes, others used chemical irritants, stun guns, fists, sticks, poles and clubs. Some trampled and stampeded police, pushed them down stairs or against statues or shone laser pointers in their eyes. One D.C. Metro officer was hit six times with a stun gun, had an apparent heart attack and lost a fingertip.

Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, 42, a 13-year veteran of the force, was pepper-sprayed during the riot, and had a thromboembolic stroke the next day. He was placed on life support, and soon died.

Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt, a 35-year-old from San Diego, was fatally shot once in the shoulder by a Capitol Police officer as she attempted to climb through a shattered window in a barricaded door leading into the Speaker's Lobby, through which House members were escaping.

Three others also died: Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, Kevin Greeson, 55, from Athens, Alabama, and Benjamin Philips, 50, of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

Shortly after 2:00 p.m., several rioters attempted to breach a door on the West Front of the Capitol. They dragged three D.C. Metro police officers out of formation and down a set of stairs, trapped them in a crowd, and assaulted them with improvised weapons (including hockey sticks, crutches, flags, poles, sticks, and stolen police shields) as the mob chanted “police stand down!” and “USA!”] At least one of the officers was also stomped.

According to the chairman of the Capitol Police officers' union, multiple officers sustained traumatic brain injuries. One had two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs; another lost an eye. One was stabbed with a metal fence stake, and another lost three fingers. One was crushed between a door and a riot shield while defending the west side of the Capitol with other officers against rioters; he later had headaches he believed stemmed from a concussion.

Rioters stormed the offices of Nancy Pelosi, flipping tables and ripping photos from walls; the office of the Senate Parliamentarian was ransacked; art was looted; and feces was tracked into several hallways. Windows were smashed throughout the building, leaving the floor littered with glass and debris. Some items of furniture were damaged, turned over, or stolen. One door had “MURDER THE MEDIA” scrawled onto it. Rioters damaged Associated Press recording and broadcasting equipment outside the Capitol after chasing away reporters. Rioters also destroyed a display honoring the life of congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis.

The rioters caused extensive physical damage. The combined costs of repairing the damage and post-attack security measures (such as erecting temporary perimeter fencing) already exceeded $30 million and would continue to increase. Interior damage from the riot included broken glass, broken doors, and graffiti; some statues, paintings, and furniture were damaged by pepper spray, tear gas, and fire extinguishing agents deployed by rioters and police. The historic bronze Columbus Doors were damaged. Items, including portraits of John Quincy Adams and James Madison, as well as a marble statue of Thomas Jefferson, were covered in “corrosive gas agent residue”; these were sent to the Smithsonian for assessment and restoration. A 19th-century marble bust of President Zachary Taylor was defaced with what seemed to be blood.  Because the Capitol is not insured against loss, taxpayers will pay for damage inflicted by the siege.

I originally had player “colors” based on participants in the January 6th sedition, but decided to get rid of them, as this event is already too raw, and having to pick a group to represent with was hard for most to do. For historical sake, here are the groups I originally had as options:

“Team MAGA” “The Proud Boys” “Capital Police” “Oathkeepers ” “Neo-Nazis” “Fascists” “White Supremacists” “Antifa” “Republicans” “Women for America First” “Tea Party” “MAGA Shaman” “Stop The Steal” “MyPillow ” “FBI” “Three Percenters”
