The only things I would change are in the banner. The word "Bonuses" floating above the desert looks a bit odd. I think that section is perfectly understandable without it, so I'm in favor of getting rid of that word altogether. I agree that the color of the desert in the legend looks a bit off, still, too. Also, maybe capitalize the "a" in "a map by wcaclimbing"? And perhaps move the "XML by Zimmah" a bit closer to the corner.

These are all very minor things, though. I basically agree with Ink: quench!

Well, game play at least is still a little up in the air. Not sure about the graphics though. :?

gameplay wasn't fair for Assassin style.
graphics didn't have enough room for numbers (well, it did, but they still wanted more space)

both are fixed. at least, I think they are fixed. Gimil and Oaktown might not agree ;)

Yeah, leave the "a" uncapitalized.

This is looking awesome. I can't wait to play it.

So, looks like 6 is going to be the winner of the poll, unless anything big changes.

I've added a "stamps please" to the title of this thread. maybe the mods will notice it (I don't want to harass them with more PMs about it.)

EDIT: ah, just remembered that I still need to make a small version first....

I think I'm good to go on this one in terms of gameplay... you settle on the starting values and let's start stamping this sucker. :)

I've been looking and I haven't found any, but make sure that none of your fictitious territory names can be confused for another.

I'll get that done later today. [click here] The neutrals will be set like they are in that update [V6.0] but adjusted because the bottom is now fertile. The numbers go in rings around the fertile land. first 4s, then 3s, then 2s, then 1s. oases close to the grand oasis get 5, far oases get 3.
I've been looking and I haven't found any, but make sure that none of your fictitious territory names can be confused for another. I dont think that will be much of a problem. Allet and Ellit are a bit similar and right next to eachotehr, but they are different enough that I don't think it'll be a problem. Inklo, Kaplo, Loclo, and Marlo won't be a problem. and Kain + Klien are different enough. I think those are the only ones that are similar.

the small map seems quite a lot smaller than other maps' smalls... it will still work though.
does graphics have to come before gameplay, vice versa, or does it matter?

Hm, one minor suggestion. In the legend perhaps alter the color of the text after "WARNING:" The desert territory text is green, and perhaps for consistency it should be more in tone with the actual desert. You could always use that color of green somewhere else in the legend.

The small map does seem unusually small...oh well, I always play the large anyway. I agree with Andy about the font colors...other than that, not much to say. Could you post the small and large with 88s and/or 888s?

I think zimmah will be providing those images after he finishes up with the XML, which will probably be a few days from now.

I think the small map could be a little bigger, no?

Also, I do believe you don't need the bigimg tags for the small.

You might consider moving 55 56 65 & 66 away from each other a bit?

I'm satisfied... let's play this shizzle.

the numbering is indeed strange in the area mentioned above... if you change 66 to be 56 then kept up the numbering it would move 65 to the far left.
