Awesome job so far.

Comments:
I don't like the kerling (lettering) of the base names and Pinnacle - hard to read them at some places where background has black dots. Maybe some outer light or just cleaning the background will help? Also, this can be done for the terr numbers - right now you need to read them to see which are where. Dark on dark is not readable - try to set your brightness lower and you will understand it.

And it looks like TOFU 09 and IA 12 are connected. Bad. Same for IA 13 and Pinnacle 03.

it looks way fun, hope it's ready to go soon....and can't you always go back and change the names, whenever you want? even if it's two years down the road?

peace!

Thank you for the input Dako, I am sure Kab will look into this and reply when he can to your comments.

Beautiful graphics indeed :!:

Nice to see that VDDL is surrounding with water :mrgreen:

Just like in real life, so all the clan members of VDLL (Netherlands and Belgium) will battle with honor on this map as it were our own motherland. It has the same feeling

But no kidding, again the graphics are for me in the top 5 of all the maps of CC for so far. Amazing and realistic graphics :!:

perhaps Tofu 09 is a bit close to IA 12 like dako said, but they are not touching, I guess there could be a wince more separation. I love the art work here though, very impressive.

natty dread · Post by **natty dread** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 9:23 am

The black numbers are hard to read on the dark green background (the forest areas). I suggest changing them to white or adding a white outer glow on them.

Kabanellas · Post by **Kabanellas** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 10:10 am

Some addition to the art work - I'm trying to have it all done before start getting into the details

btw, thanks all for your much appreciated support!!!

Kabanellas · Post by **Kabanellas** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:43 pm

and here we go:

-portal colors still need to be defined

natty dread · Post by **natty dread** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 7:38 pm

I would recommend scrapping the colour coding of the portals at this point... I know it was my idea in the first place, but the more I think about it the more I'm coming to the conclusion that it's just overly complicated.

I can see two possible solutions:

a) Make all the portals uniform, then use low-opacity dotted lines between them to show connections.

b) Make the portals uniform, and write in the legend: "Portals attack portals of adjacent clans".

Also, the territory numbers are hard to read on the darker green areas. Solutions: make numbers white or add slight white glow around numbers.

The forest impassables look kinda pixelated.

That's all for now, other than these things the map is looking awesome.

porkenbeans · Post by **porkenbeans** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 8:02 pm

Yes, an outer glow on the numbers with just the right size, spread and opacity will do the trick without even noticing it.

Cool, I love the St. Patrick's day map!

jefjef · Post by **jefjef** » Tue Apr 13, 2010 10:17 pm

Like it! The elevations and all. I think Pinnacle circle should be a little larger though.

Kabanellas · Post by **Kabanellas** » Wed Apr 14, 2010 6:08 am

added a bit of glow to the numbers:
