will solve. i have no idea what it is. there shouldn't be any texture from the other maps as all those layers are gone. will investigate when i get home and solve it.

I'm loving the look of this map. It screams of awesome.

v10
* small version
* made the docks more visible
* made army circles more visible
* changed the bonus for humans from +4 to +2
* added the no automatic armies thing in the legend
* solved the weird greenish thing in the sanctuary island
* made the river between troglodytes and night elves thicker and more visible.

large


small

in troglodytes on the small version, with the greyscale on the text, it is making it hard to read some of the names. they get lost in the texture behind them. Zui Mostly, but Xi a bit, also. you should brighten the text or darken the background just a bit so they stand out more.

Other than that, I think its about as good as it will ever be. no complaints from me (other than the one mentioned above).

if you compare large version with small version you'll see the troglodytes names have a different gradient. on large it is horizontal on small it is vertical. i changed it cause the vertical gradient made the names hard to read on small. i find them very visible but i will also try and do something and make them even more visible.


btw on a general note i don't think it is a problem if the small and large are slightly different. i mean the most obvious change is that the legend has another shape because the text would have been to cramped in the large version shape.

This is my first venture into the map forum, and all i can say is Wow.

The map looks awesome...I wish i had the skills to set something like this up, but i don't! I'm glad you're putting in the effort & i can't wait to try out the map!

1 minor idea, since lava solidifys (sp?) in water could some on the land be reshaped to show this? maybe even a connection to the santuary instead of the port

the port also connects to other ports so i can't add that connection.

as for the solidifying lava i guess i can add that but i'm not sure how spectacular it would be after all it would mean just adding a few lumps of solidified lava. like so:

Meh just an idea, I remeber when the volcano in either greenland or iceland (cant remeber which) it created a lava path that almost closed off one of the countries biggest ports from the main ocean.

iceland.

and yes it is possible for lava to create bridges but that wouldn't fit the gameplay.

Another piece of art, DiM.

thanks mate. xml is already started.

Great map Dim.

It may be just me, but I feel that the glow in the water surrounding the continents are too strong, perhaps toning them down will help if anybody feels this way.

Also, since the post count per page changed, you have the wrong page number in the title, not sure if their changing back though.

Someone suggested a while ago to add a glow to the lava. A slight reddish glow might be cool, if you haven't already tried it.

Nice work of art again DiM, though is that red stuff under the territorys routes or just lava routes? and can you attack though them? if you can/can't it doesnt say in the instructions.

changed the page number as for the water "glow", that's actually just representing shallow water near the shores. it's normal for the water to get darker as you move away from the shore.

i'd rather not. after all the lava isn't very glowing and it would clutter even more the area.

Seems were just nitpicking here:
