Conquer Club

looks like one big cluster to me... Nevada is a mess you can't even see where the southern border ends.

Needs more spacing and detail because right now the connection routes look ugly and the words of every territory is crammed.

cant someone else make the small map??

Here's one with gray circles, not really to my liking but if you guys think they'd be better than the white ones we'll use the gray ones.

Let me know, thanks

Do you know what an opinion is? I have played Middle Earth before, and in my opinion, I think this is the best looking map yet.

The above is the small version...

Main problem, very crowded looking, especially in the very middle of the USA with Nebraska and Kansas. I have no clue as to what I can do to remedy this, any suggestions?

Also, sorry about the delay, my only excuse is burnout plus the fact that the desire for distraction is much greater during the school year than during summer.

Thanks masterbush, it's stuff like that that restarts the desire to finish.

Oh, and just in general, as I've said before, I'm not changing any of the country names, I chose them for certain reasons, and it's my map, so they're keeping their names

how bout amalgamating kansas and nebraska like you did with the midwest? and some of the other central states too

Suggestion? How about do it bigger? Because I usually do the small version with 80-84% of the size of the big version. It seems you used a smaller proportion, so maybe you could do it a little bigger, huh? What the proportion you used, by the way?

say, do nunavut and greenland have circles?

That's unfortunate.

then I'd have 59 countries, a very odd number, instead of the nice, even, easily divisable 60.

The large is roughly 600-650 in height, the small is 450, so i guess the proportion is roughly 66%

happysadfun wrote:say, do nunavut and greenland have circles?

Yes, but just by chance, the background colors are close enough to that of the circles that they disappear into the background, I s'pose like a polar bear might disappear in the snow.

I'm just gonna throw this out there and say this too:

If you guys think that the small map is fine, I'll start on the small xml, I mean, I'm ok with it, but it's truly up to the foundry

I think it looks good and i'm excited to play this map.

as i do. I want to play a three player game (how many reinforcement will i recieve per turn then?)

i'm gonna play it too. it may have little quirks, but all maps do so i'm not complaining.

Well, it's a sixty country map, so on the first turn everyone has twenty countries, so six on the first turn. what's cool about sixty is that no matter how many people play, 2-6, there won't be any neutral territories.

thats pretty sweet, i hate nuetral territories. Do up the code and get this up!

I dont think its ok. As I said, the small version should be, heeeeh... bigger. Dont think too much about number of pixels. To people that use 800x600 resolution, we need scroll down even with the classic map. Only make it bigger, please, 80% of the big map.

Ok, that's the only thing I was worried about, about making it 80%, because of scrolling down. But, if you need to even for classic, I'm not gonna be as worried. Another pic'll be coming soon then.

Hopin this is better, it's 85%. If it seems good enough, I'll post another picture with numbers in it

Its looking good Dublin, hope to see it in play soon.

could you shrink the army shadows down some? they seem to take up a lot of space on the map

wcaclimbing wrote:could you shrink the army shadows down some? they seem to take up a lot of space on the map

These cirlces are the same size as those on the large map. So, the numbers fit in them, and they wouldn't if the cirlces were smaller, unless the small map numbers are smaller.

With that said, I do wish they didn't take up so much room.
