It isn't really neccesary, but I am really impatient.

The primary consideration is going to be gameplay-related...

I know that a number of eyes have been pouring over the map over recent months - but I'll put in a request for some gameplay people with time on their hands to have a once-over before we re-approve the gameplay.

In the meantime, I'll take the unusual step of awarding the Graphics stamp BEFORE the Gameplay one (not that the graphics were ever going to be an issue here)..

Let's get the boat back on the road

Final Forge

Final Forge

---The Das Schloss Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. The map has passed rigorous gameplay and graphics examinations, and major concerns have been addressed. If you have any other concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. As long as there is still discussion or posts that have yet to be commented on, the map will remain in Final Forge until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

noted! no problems are leaping out at me so far. i'm checking relevant parts of the discussion, with a view to issuing the gameplay stamp soon. can u confirm my understanding that there are 8 start positions plus 24 normally-allocated starting regions?

That symbol at the top of the map.. I've heard it's banned from a lot of German sites.. Is that really the best symbol for the map?

Kotaro wrote:Okay.

I only bring it up because one of my German friends decided not to talk to me when I pointed him towards this map. Some of them are a little bitchy about back-in-the-day, understandably enough.

Nice map cairns
