Battle Of '67: The Nile [gimil remeber to merge]

Postby Unit_2 on Thu Feb 07, 2008 7:34 pm

Ok... Now before you get on me about making a new map Takman2k asked me to help him with it so I am.

Its about the '67 war in Africa/Middle East, we are planing to make this a series, they will be names "Battle of '67:----", in this one its "The Battle of '67: The Nile.

There is not yet names or Cont. names but there will be by the end of the night(Hopefully), The boats and Air planes are territorys like on Pearl Harbor but they can only attack each other and the Ports(Boats) and Airports(Air Planes). Please start commenting:

V1:
Image
56 Territorys, 12 Conts.

The idea may be interesting eventually, but I suggest finishing a map before taking on too many projects. The Foundry (as a whole entity) likes to see the ability to create a successful map all the way through production. Once you've got a map under your belt, things come easier.

i suggest not using paint. mods wont accept it and people dont like it. i learned that from experience :lol:


not a bad rough draft, but you should at least put some sort of names in the territories.

Looks like a gimp job to me I'm afraid

anyway, if this is Takman2k's map, why didn't he post it?



Graphics wise, it needs a huge amount of work. and it's hard tocomment on gameplay I'm afraid untill all the attack lines, bonuses and territ names are in.

did you even look at the map? lol, it says that the boats can attack each other and so can the air planes(where the lines are) and the front line airplanes can attack the airports and and boat can attack the same harbor in the same sea.

hey unit, what program u using? looks like GIMP.

oh and a few things

1. your borders look to pixely, try to have them blend in a little
2. the water.... no comment on that except that it looks like alot of torn paper
3. might want to lower the month bonus a little
4. i like how the nile looks. but u can hardly see the bridges


hope this helps

:)

This looks great for a rough draft. the map looks like a fun one to play but i am gonna wait till i see the final thing. The Brazil map looks terrible and thats the only reason i dont like it, so you may want to improve on the graphics.

Other than the graphics great map look forward to playing on it

This map is still active and in the works. It is not abandoned. I have to get another helper on this, and learn more stuff.
