why not continue the colour of the tomb to the underworld? you don't really need the grey I think

edit: this might just cause more confusion nvm

then in the pictures just have Tomb A + amente (the symbol) = 4

since all the underworld bonuses are 2, why not just call that underworld symbols and put the bonus of 2 into the text on the bottom? you could also do this with the ankh. That way people won't associate the bonus with only the territory itself? I dunno just an idea

btw the arms of ankh as borders are fine. I was just talking to myself sorry.

*OK...i've put the amente symbol into the tomb bonus diagram...works well, thanks for that.
*as to the colours, i think i'll leave them as they are for the underworld.
* modified the text in the instructions...is this any clearer?

V30 updates.

I think so.

looks great! keep up the good work!

V30 Large

the scarab heads have colours. do they represent the continent colour?

for example the cleaopatra scarab is grey and it fits but the ramesses III scarab is blue instead of pale green.


also i just remembered at some point you said you'll change the name of the map if you introduce cleopatra because she's not in the valley.

fixed...to each continent color.

yes I am still considering that. I am fixated on the Valley of the Kings. So I really think Cleopatra and Nefertiti might get the axe...much to Enigma's possible disgust.

Anyone got any nore feedback on the large map?

I like it...

Now I can understand it better...

One thing - minor...

The "Death Masks" - I think the interleaved colour between the blue could be a bit more yellow - leaving the place for the army white?

the map is low of quality (all those dots near names etc.) you did that on purpose for just showing?

what dots? the stars?

I think that's just the JPG compression that Cairns is using...

It keeps the image size smaller - but some quality is lost...

Very common if screenshotting too!

On that note though - I'm not sure I like the Background texture of the bottom legend. (The explanation text) - or is that corrupted by JPG too?

Wisse the map is at 80% compression which is how I normally present my maps until final forge. the dots in the background are stars which are painted on the top of tombs chambers of course meaning the fermament or heavens.

no that one is a texture on that panel and will be removed in the next version shortly.

onbekende...sorry...but i'm not quite on the same wavelength with you on that post...mind explaining it all again!

I will overlook the map once I got time

I blame my previous post on my location, aka Belgium

This is the small map at 90% compression...is the quality better?

Is there any further feedback for this map?

much better, i meant the dots around the text (you see gray dots there when its low quality)

your map shure looks great

All looks nice

army's!!!
