nationalism doesnt necissarily blow, but blind nationalism really blows.

Meh, you're probably right, anyway me and pedro have resolved our differences. Any progress on the map?

what's sad is that the greeks took many months to be conquered and technically never surrendered while the french became the nazi's puppet

Lets try to keep this somewhat on topic...and that topic being the France Map.

Until we see barriers, i don't have much to say.

As it stands, this map is bland. nothing more than a bunch of countries packed together. I don't care if its france, spain, europe, or the moon, if it looks like this it won't be a game.

Show us how it will be interesting, give us something to talk about.

you want unique i could say that the defense only gets to roll a dice that goes to 5 however that wouldnt be very practical.

AndyDufresne · Post by **AndyDufresne** » Tue May 23, 2006 10:18 pm

Unique is broad. Find something that is specifically unique to your map. Look at the natural layout of countries, borders, and geographical figures. Perhaps you can incorporate a new style of gameplay into the map, or perhaps you can achieve a perfectly balanced, yet fun map. Keep working on it and post your revisions.

if i were facing you your right arm would be on my left.

I believe that is why it is why, universally, mapmakers use directional coordinates (North, East, West, South)

We fought for France once and look where that got us? :roll:

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 4:56 pm

I lost a whole bunch of crap but here is the newest update. Complete with natural borders, though it doesnt have as many as i would like. But waht do you think now?

i don't know what it would look like off the top of my head but maybe you should do a historical france map, like france under the rule of charlemagne, or napoleon, or something to that extent, just a suggestion though.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:35 pm

oh and the fonts are the ones im contemplating.

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:40 pm

I didnt read all the topic, but I would like to say that your map is pretty unbalanced. Two smal continents, 1 medium, 1 big and 3 gigantic!! And 2 of these are occupying all the south, thats a big waste. I think that you should remove some countries, or add some more continents, or change the actual continents, because this map is in practice reduced to the North half.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Sun Jun 04, 2006 5:48 pm

as it stands right now there are give or take 54 countries. I'm trying to get it down to 42, so do you recommend the ones i merge are the ones in the south?

qeee1 · Post by **qeee1** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 7:00 pm

I'd say so. Either do that, or merge countries in other continents and then take continents from the south to give to those continents.

... but it'd be simpler just merge continents in the South.

Kyle, there's all kinds of rivers in France if you're looking for something to break the map up with.

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 11:40 pm

Hmmm, maybe I can send you some suggestions about merging the countries, but only in some days, maybe in the weekend.

can you give me some viable reasons, or is this blind nationalism speaking. I really dont know if i should give you credibility. Right now you are on ann coulter layer with me.
