<Austro-Hungarian Empire>

by **Nukora** on Fri Mar 09, 2007 3:55 pm

Countries: 37

Continents: 6
Bonuses:
East (Blue): 4
Central (Brown): 4
West (Purple): 3
South (Red): 3
Northwest (Green): 3
Northeast (Teal): 5

A question about the bonuses: In the bonus chart, should I sort them alphabetically by Continent name, in ascending order by army amount, or by position on the map?

Notes: I'll come up with better graphics once function and stretegic issues are sorted out.

Will end up pretty similar to the high seas map currently in development (just different graphically and in territory names). Maybe not a great idea to be honest, although it is interesting.

doesn't look completely inverted

by **Nukora** on Fri Mar 09, 2007 4:43 pm

It isn't Molacole. I made some adjustments to make the oceans connect. That way it was more like a real world. However I will add Lake Baikal, Lake Victoria, the Great Lakes, and others as islands later if this gets a positive response.

I agree.

Alrighty. Thanks for the input on that one...I guess I'll dump it. I was hoping it wouldnt' be this hard to find a map to do. So let's try this one:

Czechoslovakia Map (Rejected)

Also, is a N. & S. America map being done already, or can I try that too?

Note: The posts above were talking about a different map idea.

Can I suggest something to you? Do some decent historical research and try to create an Austro-Hungarian Empire map. That's something I would have liked to do but I know I will never have the time nor the will power to do it. Bohemia and Moravia were part of it.

Ruben and Galicia to, :wink:

by **Nukora** on Sat Mar 10, 2007 7:48 pm

Thanks Ruben, that's a good idea. I think I'll pick it up. And qwert, according to the map I found, Galicia is in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

i like the austro-hungarian empire idea, just make sure u do justice to the empire with the graphics.

by **Ruben Cassar** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:19 am

How many territories will you be using for the map? I think you need at least 36 to start with.

Also try to enlarge the area where the game will be played and reduce 'redundant' areas like the neighbouring states.

Also it's either Ausitria-Hungary or Austro-Hungarian Empire. I prefer the latter.

good map, but two things, call the region by their names and make it a map of austrio-hungary during the 1st part of the world war when they were at their largest...

by **Qwert** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 7:03 pm

Ok, i look you map in strange side, and i dont like these. I must say that i work in WWl map and know very good of country in these period, like German Empire, Austro Hungarian Empire,Ottoman Empire,Balkan Country ,Russian Empire, and if you dont manage to create Austro Hungarian ,i will do these, becouse my map WWl its been almoust finish, but stay becouse some country been very small in map(Belgium,Montenegro,Luhemburg,romania)

Can you please make north pointing up?

Since you seem to know the regions by names other than the ones shown on the map I found, it would be nice and courteous of you to provide the correct names, or better, a map after telling me they aren't right. I had two different maps to go by, both of which had names that seemed to have been their real ones. The only reason there are ones like West Austria, Trent, Sarajievo, Sara(for the river), Prague, Bratislava, Kosice, Krakow and Budapest is because I had to make more regions than there are on my visuals. I do not however have a territory named Ungarn.

And I did use a map of Austro-Hungary during the first part of WWI and another one. I used one from an unknown date and one from 1914 (Beginning of WWI) to go off of, which I did. However, if you would be so kind to provide a different map, I would appreciate that too.

Would you mind providing a better definition of what you meant? :?:

Also, it'd be nice if you said why you didn't like it. I believe in constructive criticism.

everywhere116 wrote:Can you please make north pointing up?

I can but it makes the playing area smaller, which is a disadvantage. I'd like to know which you'd prefer; a smaller playing space, or correct compass points.

by **everywhere116** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 9:12 pm

How would that make it smaller?

by **Nukora** on Sun Mar 11, 2007 9:21 pm

Because there is more room diagonally than there is horizantally. And the West-East part of the empire is pretty big. If I rotated it to fit the correct compass points, I would have to shrink it, and it would be back to how it was before.

Link to the old version that had north up.

south west of the map looks a bit crowded dont know what you can do but it needs to be tidied up

by **Qwert** on Mon Mar 12, 2007 6:14 am

I say that you map must go horisontaly not verticaly.

That looks much better! Do that!

(If you still dont believe me, widen it a little. Proportionately, your map is very squarish compared to most here on CC)

Also, now that I think about it, you actually have more room when you make north up. Think about it. The Empire, when its boundaries are rounded, and when that western jut towards switzerland is removed, is rectangular, running from Tiorl to Bukavia. Then make a proportionately correct rectangle to fit it on. Making it diagonal means you have to shrink your image and put in parts of the Balkans and Germany into your picture, which takes up room.

by **Nukora** on Tue Mar 13, 2007 9:53 pm

You're right, it is bigger that way. What do you think of the new version?

I fixed:
*"Upper Enns" and "Lower Enns" are actually called Upper Austria and Lower Austria. I fixed that on the map.
*Purple region shouldn't be as crowded now.
*North faces up, making the map a little bigger.
