CC Car Park

Hotdoggie · Post by **Hotdoggie** » Sun Dec 30, 2007 10:30 pm

27 territories
6 continents (plus extra armies)

Initial thoughts for me are that it looks okay considering it was my first ever attempt with the Gimp.

Points I need to look at are:
- The linking between territories (those black lines are ugly as hell) - suggestions???
- Picture for the TIcket Machine (any suggestions?)
- Tidy up the key (colours aren't right in all circumstances, hard to read in places)
- ?

So, feedback please. And do remember that this is my first ever attempt with using the Gimp so as of yet I am unable to use the fancy features but I'm sure I will be able to more so after I work on it for a bit.

Cheers.

the "no" option didn't go on the poll - any chance a mod could add it?

2 things dude

1: this should be in the map ideas sub-forum, not here.

2: No I wouldn't play this map because of the idea, if this get's out it's going to look like the map makers are so desperate with ideas, you should look in the map-ideas thread inthat sub-forum for some good ideas, I would like to see you try in other ideas.

Then again this might surprise me

1: Well I guess that's something else I have to ask the mods to do

2: I don't see this as a 'desperate idea' map, I just see it as a bit different, not following the conformity of being a whole land mass.

EDIT: thanks which ever mod did both of those things

:):)

I didn't mean offence if that's what comes across sorry,

I'm just saying there are so many great ideas out there and I don't think this is one.

Maybe it's just me, and others might like it so as I said before, this map might surprise me.

I wasn't offended, definately not.

Criticism is a part of making a CC map

And I know what you mean about other great ideas, it's nice to make a map based on your own ideas though

Making a map from an original idea is something nice, but sometimes those ideas themselves aren't so nice.

[sarcasm]Thanks for the constructive post![/sarcasm]

For now at least I want to carry on with this map so I would appreciate comments on the aestetic and gameplay, not sly comments on the consept itself.

Yeah, brought that up as an issue in my original post - they will be gone by the next version

EDIT:
I really need suggestions about what top do in regards to the black dotted lines.

Make this make different by making it a multi floor car park.

It's a thought, but I don't think I have the capability to do that, and I wanted this to be a fairly small map.

Still looking fro suggestions on the black lines..

The black dashed lines which currently show which territoriescan attack which are UGLY AS HELL, I was hoping for another suggestion of how to link the territories or at the very least how to improve the lines.

You can just about make out the picture of the person with shopping bags on the path.

kk thanks, that seems like a much better alternative...will substitute the black lines for those walkways in V2.

V2 WILL BE POSTED LATER THIS WEEK

other suggestions regarding bonuses, layout, etc. greatly appreciated!

Any chance a mod can pull the poll? I'm happy that it's not hated by a majority so I'm going on with it for a bit.
