I like it, think I'd prefer it over Doodle Earth to play assdoodles on.

Thanks, that is the idea. With one more teritory, and a nice theme I think it would go down well as a mini duel map since Doodle Earth is very popular but also very plain.

I like, it.

I enjoy playing on doodle earth but i believe i would prefer this map over doodle earth.

Thanks for the positive feedback so far!

I think the 19th territory is a bit useless, since it will always be neutral. I would simply merge Elves into Deepwoods. Alternatively you could add a 20th territory, which is perfect for 2-, 4- and 5-player games, but would give 6 neutrals on 7-player games and 4 on 8-player.

18 territories is perfect for 2-, 3- and 6-player games, and the most neutrals is 4 in 7-player games. I'd go with 18, personally.

Definitely a good idea since Elves is one of the less useful teritories anyway.

Thanks for your input

Assdoodle is the worst type of game ever...we really don't need another map for lottery points to be given away.

I think this map would be far less drop-dependent than Doodle Earth, because of the corners connecting, sure it's still a luck factor, but it's much smaller than on DE. Perhaps one day people will even consider Assdoodles to be skill-based rather than luck-based because of this map (it's a big perhaps, but who cares?)

A quick look through your game history tells that you are one of the #1 assodoodle players!

Your name stuffed away right against that island looks like it's a +1001 bonus for something. I'd just put it below Bridgelands (and add the name of whoever might do the XML later).

Also, "doodle islands, corners can attack each other" would look better if parts of it don't disappear under land, perhaps make it a bit smaller?

The water doesn't look like it's a doodle.

by **leetlars** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:30 pm

lol I think it looks good with the text under the islands a little, blends them well.

+1001 bonus I don't think anyone is that stupid

still will wait for lt1001 to turn up and see if he can give me the xcf files so I can work on this too

I think it looks sloppy. Also, because it notes an important part of the map gameplay, it shouldn't blend but stand out. My 2 cents, anyway.

You'll meet plenty of stupid people here on CC, I promise.

I just looked at it again and i noticed something

While the land territories look very doodled the water doesn't. It looks to textured and that isn't what a doodle map should look like.

The special thing about doodle earth was that a 10 year old kid could have drew it, but i don't a 10 year old kid would be able to put the amount of texture in that you have on the water.

I would make the water look more doodled and plain, not sure how, but you are the map maker. I am sure you will think of something.

Once again I have to support lt1001, I think the water looks beautiful and deep and would be perfect for the map, something plainer makes the whole map look horrible. Picture the water as a flat blue colour and I think it would make the map look horrible.

The water looks good, but it doesn't look doodle-like. A big blue face as water wouldn't be doodle-like either (and I agree, it'd also look horrible). Water that looks like it's been drawn with pencils of different shades of blue would look doodle-like.

by **lt1001** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 2:31 pm

Hey guys, thanks for your interest. I have sent you the xcf file leetlars so you can work with me. I don't think I will change the water since I love the way it looks, but I will consider making the text bolder.

pwnd to the people who ragged on me earlier =]

IRT map guy...its got a long way to go astetically[sp?] buuut its a really good concept and I'd be more than happy to play a few thousand games on this map as well =D

by **edbeard** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 7:08 pm

the name is silly. There's nothing 'doodle' about this map. it might be a tiny map like 'Doodle Earth' but that's the only similarity.

Also, FYI, 'Doodle Earth' took about 5 months to be quenched so don't think you're done already.
