What if you added tiny boxes, one on the bottom left of Tenenhair, one on the bottom right of Cardiff, one on the top left of Lundenwic, and one on the top right of Aberdeen with the little castle graphics from the territories.

It either needs to be unique in gameplay or location, not both. Since this features buildings, decay, dead space and no one way attacks it is quite different from British Isles.

I know but I'd just like to see a different lay out.

1) The number of territories currently on the map.
2) The number of continents.

I can't tell which castle goes to which province....
Maybe make that a bit clearer...

otherwise well done

There are four castle provinces on the map. Each one has a castle image in it. Then look at the castle layouts and you will see the same image. That how you make the link.


Main foundry... We are making headway.

Keredrex wrote:I see what you mean... But I think the bottom 2 castles are not as obvious.
Lundenwic's castle image looks almost like the other towns... its castle shape is even pointing to lothene...maybe if you had that shape on the bottom Like Tenenhair

and maybe flip cardiff to point towards the postion on the isle

I cant wait


Is it too green? Do the castles look out of place? Is the water not blue enough?

good catch. Seems im not the only one that cant spell around here

1. The land terr names are confusing mixed up as black, red and blue (also red and blue also having the glow). First off id advise having a unified glow on all the names for consistancy and prettiness . I would also take out the blue port color and make the ports themself stand out a little better.
the glow is to mark out the special territories.

2. Castles, i feel it would be better to make the terr to link with the names you use above the castles sub maps. But if ypu give me a good reason for hte diffrences i might be convinced otherwise. As for each castle terr give the terr name a different color for each castle to better link the terr to the castle (see cairns bamboo jack map)
Ok i will look into that.

3. The small castle graphics you have are nice, id like to see some of tem moved so that the ones in the castke boxes are closer to the ones on the main map. Id liketo see the cardiff castle moved from the left to the right hand side of the box. Id like to see aberdeen image moved from top right to bottom left of the castle box. Lundenwic moved from teh top left to somewhere along the bottom.
Ok i will try it

now the nitpicking:

1. Tenenhairs title should be moved up a px or two so it isnt touching its box.
:p i will change it

2. The courtyard and guard terr names are two close together in Tenenhairs.
I will see what i can do

3. Move gerniu terr names off of the port image.
Thats why i have the blue colours so even if that happens you can still see whats what.

4. Move muir nore sea name up a little so it isnt touching the mainland.
Easily done

5. Move aberdeen a px or two as well so its not touching the box.
Also easy to do

5. the "4" in te ireland bonus is difficult to read.
Any ideas how i could change that?

Im aware, but i think there needs to be a glow on all terrs, even if the "non special terrs have a weaker glow

I know but i think you have space to show more of the port

the bottom half of the 4 seems a little faded, darken that area in with hte trusty penci
