Feudal Epic, L&S, Pg. 49 [D, Gp, Gr]

double 5's on connecting regions seem a bit overprotective to me. that way unless someone has a castle bordering the same region, you are still protected if you break through your 10 and can snatch a village, while the others are stuck building up in their kingdom because the other player in their territory would take advantage of any breakthrough, if you understand what i mean.

this map looks cool to me

by **benny profane** on Sat Sep 13, 2008 5:47 am

Since the title seems to be an issue, I would argue against anything having to do with an 8 in it.
If this were the original map adapted for 8 players, it would make sense.
But really, this is a completely different map.

Unless you pick Feudal Days A Week, which gets my vote.

i cant wait to play this map.. Epic battles are sure to be plantiful on this.. I am commenting on the castle names... Since it appears the map isnt an add on to feudal and it also doesnt represent feudal at all in those aspects ... then why are the castle names brought over from the original game.. I am just suggesting maybe to make them something different..

Do it in the shape of Medieval Europe

lets see, I'd also change the map name..
I also think the parts are clear enough, so the small map can be removed, it's a bit annoying

it would be nice if you can make it more 3D aswell, in the future, or change the graphics a bit
and lower the legend, so there's more room on the bottom

i can't wait to play this map

by **DiM** on Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:25 pm

i see people don't like the name and to be honest i don't like it either so just call it Feudal Golf Course :lol:

anyway i have no clue on the gameplay as i don't have time to study it but i have some graphic comments.

1. the minimap features different coloured continets but the main map is all green. why not put different shades of green on the large map also? it would be better looking and it would also help identify each continent easier
2. the river is bland. add some waves make the water depth fluctuate by making the colour darker or lighter also you could add some small affluents (sp? i mean the small rivers going into a larger one) just
3. the villages look like peanuts thrown in the grass. :mrgreen:

add some roads smoke some crops (you already have some in Cen) some animal pens, etc
4. add names instead of numbers. i hate numbered terits cause i make mistakes

PS: i just realised a gameplay thing i don't like. each kingdom has just 1 border. that kinda sucks. don't know if it's a big deal in the overall gameplay but my first impression is that i don't like it. perhaps it's good perhaps it's not.

PPS: if anything that i wrote has already been discussed then ignore it i haven't read the thread

DiM you know I missed you right?

I don't much like the name, but the yeti seems to want to stand his ground!

Breaking up the green is something I am putting thought into atm.

2. the river is bland. add some waves make the water depth fluctuate by making the colour darker or lighter also you could add some small affluents (sp? i mean the small rivers going into a larger one) just

We will see what can be done, the river currently has a little bit of dodge on it atm but I don't think it is enought.

3. the villages look like peanuts thrown in the grass. add some roads smoke some crops (you already have some in Cen) some animal pens, etc

Will do

4. add names instead of numbers. i hate numbered terits cause i make mistakes

NO! pay more attention

It has been discussed and seems to be a 50/50 split on opinions.

Getting lazy?

I still haven't heard a better name suggestion so all I say is "Meh" to the naysayers.

awesome another feudal!

I like it but as everyone says, the fact that there's only one way to go will lead to some bad gameplay where only a few castles have access to each other

by **Try Again** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:21 am

I have new names you could try : Feudal Armageddon, and Feudal Assault

the map says Xeu and the legend say Zeu

by **benny profane** on Sat Sep 27, 2008 12:58 pm

Nothing going on here?
Tossing out a few more names:
Feudal Epic
Feudal Epoch
Feudal Octet
Feudal Ehta (Old English root for eight)

How about Eight Kingdoms War

by **Try Again** on Tue Sep 30, 2008 3:22 pm

I rather like Feudal Epic myself.

An improvement on the currect name, in my opinion.

well can't wait for DIMWits simpler version, that can be called 'Feudal Doodle'.

by **benny profane** on Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:08 am

Man...of all the names I suggested, I thought Feudal Epic was the worst.
Just goes to show you...
Anyways, glad I could help out.
Maybe with a title nailed down the discussion will return to the map itself!
