if you own all of spain, youve preety much won the game already. As with portugal, if you take all of portugal, there are only 3 borders to defend, so I dont think ill add an extra bonus to it.

While earlier versions did, the last couple of maps haven't had the proper accents and cedilhas on the territories' names.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Thu Jan 25, 2007 10:40 pm

yes, forgot to explain that. The program I'm using doesnt seem to like special characters. Im going to have to add them on manually later on.

Not having Andorra? I dont like the mountains between Guarda and Viseu, it hinders game play i believe.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 12:32 pm

No, im not having Andorra, to small a country. Heres the map with those mountains removed.

allthough andorra is too small, its a real country!
i would prefer to have it on the map, even with city bonus (if you decide to give city bonusses at all)

Being picky, but the river between alentejo and andalucia needs to be redone, and bits of the river which borders navarra are a bit sharp, not rivery enough. any way you could change the end of the rivers to make them not so square?

Also if you have the grey of france, i think you should add the grey of africa.

I like the continents.

i love it, it is good keep going!

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 9:14 pm

I've fixed the rivers. I've a;so added africa and the balearic islands in grey. I used a map to do that, and also found on that map that I had the South of portugal a bit off, I've fixed that now. For now im leaving andorra off, if more people want andorra, i will put it on

This is just a quick overview, I'll comment more later.

Look into adding something behind the legend names...perhaps not even a block or an object, but something to fuzz and obscure that area to make it easier to read. Something to play around with.

Beautify those rivers up a little bit, and make sure the borders don't pop out from underneath (like near Cuenca, etc)

Bridges...not a big fan of those. Look into a few other ideas!

I'll comment more on playability later!

Not a big fan about the font in the title, any reason you chose it? is it the usual font they use in spanish or something? I also think the text size in the ledgend is a bit big, but have no problem reading it.

Selin · Post by **Selin** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 3:04 am

what about ibiza or mallorca
as they belong to spain, you can add them also with a sea line to barcelona and valencia? you can even add the third island (i dont remember the name) and make a small continent out of it :idea:

and last word to andorra
i visited andorra a few years ago and loved it. its a beautiful small city on the mountains, also a good ski resort. it would be a pity not to have it on an iberia map

draw black borders on the edge of the river to prettyfy them a bit.

gavin_sidhu · Post by **gavin_sidhu** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 4:39 am

Could you also find another way to make lisboa and setubal unpassable, the way you have done it makes the land look very odd.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Sun Feb 04, 2007 7:49 pm

I've switched cataluna and aragon colours so the blue wouldnt border the river. With Adorra, im nit sure if I want to add it or not, can i get more peoples opinions on this? Also, are the rivers better now?

I ike the river border you have now.. nice hand.

The rivers are better, my only grudge with them now is taht they connect to the ocean oddly, the long river in the north has the worst connection, the others are good enough. Still not sure about the font of the title, what is the significance? I would want you to add Andorra, just make it a territory off Aragon or that yellow continent beside it (is that cataluna, if so its bonus needs to be changed.).

Lapo · Post by **Lapo** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:14 pm

Cataluña is the blue continent, Aragón is the golden one.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 4:51 pm

yes, sorry, forgot to change that...

viriato · Post by **viriato** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 7:15 pm

hello, I am Spanish from caceres (I see that you have put it well, although caceres and badajoz are an only territory) likes much your work, I have seen that you have worked hard. thanks for the map.

i think people of basque country( aragon on map) will demanded independence of map. jaja
bye.

juli · Post by **juli** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 5:24 pm

Hi, I am also from Spain, and to give you some more ideas maybe you could include the Pyrenees mountain range between France and Spain. Maybe you could also include the Canary Islands of the coast of Morroco. Keep up the good job.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 3:21 pm

Forgot about this map for a while, but heres the next update:

Added Andorra, trying new title font and fixed the cataluna and aragon in the bonus legend. Also i hope i dont have to mention this again, but I cannot add any islands as Iberia refers to mainland spain and portugal.

spinwizard · Post by **spinwizard** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 4:12 pm

i dont like it with andora! can u plz add the island, i would make the game play better

Ruben Cassar · Post by **Ruben Cassar** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 5:04 pm

Andorra is an independent state, not part of Catalunya. I suggest you remove it. Instead you could add the islands...Ibiza, Maiorca and Marbella if I am not mistaken and make them a small continent with three territories. What do you think? Those would be the Balearic Islands and they are part of Spain.

I like it but agree that the balaeric islands would make it better.Can't wait to see it finished!
