If there should be any rule---it should be against so much bright red on green! ;)

I will play on it and pm you or post in here if I see any issues or flaws with it



looks great though from what i see, a larger version of feudal, i am quite sure it will be very popular, also, you can set up quads games on this one, correct?

I just started learning feudal last week, and won my first game. So I guess you can say that I'm a virgining fan. I saw something that I thought might be an improvement, but instead of trying to explain it, I hope that you don't mind, that I just went ahead and punched out an example of my idea. It is crude because I do not have the file and had only one layer to work with but here it is. If you like it I will be more than happy to tweak it for you if you can supply me with the full file.

I guess I will throw in my final 2 cents, which I have thrown in before. It is way too day glow green. This causes the lanscape to seem unnatural. Also the rivers looked better darker.

I agree with mibi, the greens are definitely too bright. Some darker areas and some paler areas would make the map feel much more realistic. But a general softening of the all the green will go a long way.

Thats funny, The very first thing that struck me about this map, was, how colorful and vibrant it was in comparison to the old feudal. I like it VERY much. :D
As a matter of fact, I dare you to go out to your yard and grab a handful of grass.Bring it in to and hold it up to the monitor. You will see just how colorful "nature" is. :D

I highly doubt the grass in my yard is a out of the CMYK gamut as this map is.

Something called lighting and perspective. This map is different in both except your middle image, which is wildly unrealistic.

C'mon kill,
Lighting ?
the sun is natural light.
perspective ?
that only means "where the viewer is standing. and unless he is standing behind a dirty window, grass is green. and exceptionally so, if it is a sunny day, and your not in the Majavi dessert in August. lol.

Look, I'll say it straight out. Bird's-eye view. Zoomed out pretty far, so buildings are ye small. Lighting isn't great, probably a cloudy day. Now find grass that green.

As kill pointed out, sunlight behind the blades of grass makes those images very different from an aerial view.

I'd prefer to see greens taken from these images:

The last 2 are not grass.
The first 2 are more colorful than the map, and the 2nd. is a shot on an overcast day with no sun. but it is still brighter and more colorful than the map.
I think that his map and the color of the green grass is just perfect.

The ones you mention are lighter than the map, not brighter.

And yes I understand that the last two are not grass. They are trees, which are included throughout the map that we are discussing.

I just wanted to show my idea for the water, now here I am messin with the land. lol. Hey this is not my map, why the heck am I working on this ? :lol:
Anyways its gmils' baby, and if he wants to make any changes, its his choice. Personaly I like it with the bright green, but here is an option that may be more in line with what Sully has mentioned. I think that it looks pretty cool, a bit more like late summer or early fall.
...I'm done. :D
