Does this mean that if they fit in the normal sized map with these super digis, that they would fit in the smaller version of the map too natty? hope so

Let us assume your small map will be 75% the size of the large map, which is usually quite standard. If you put army numbers that are 133% of normal size into your large map, they will take the same amount of room that 100% size army numbers would take in the small map. This can be verified with a simple calculation:

133 * .75 = ~100

or if you want a more accurate formula:

4/3 * 3/4 = 1

The short answer is, yes.

AOD 9, 8, 7
IA 10 maybe
TOFU 12,10 maybe
TSM 11 (14, 13 maybe)
BSS 7
the legion 6 definitely, 2,11,12,9 probably
thota 7,5 surely, 12,13 maybe
low 13 possibly

here's a nifty way of testing territory size: take the 888 numbers and enlarge them 33% - then see if they fit nicely in all territories. If not then you have problems.

according to the bonus wording on v35, for any 2 territories held, u receive a +1 bonus. if this isn't what u mean, then u can change it so that for every 2 clan territories held, u receive a +1 bonus. the critical word is clan.

The game-play seems proven (very similar to highly successful feudal maps; I must say that playing any feudal map 1v1 feels the most like playing chess of any map ever, very thought intensive, lots of strategy) so no complaints really there.

Really I can't come up with much until we are talking art. Then I probably have a list of 20+ things I don't particularly like, all of which are fixable.

Dako wrote:Some graphic points (my opinion).

The top banner background looks like a dirty mess of blood and black stuff - what it supposed to represent?
Font look is bad - hard to read text.

Also, hard to read clan names on the map - somewhere font is too small.

Also, try to add some antialiasing (more) to the font and maybe change the font itself.

Drop points and portals icons look more like a part of background banner and not icons. Clan castle icon is somehow (why?) bigger that other icons. 2 icons have icon before the text, 1 icon has text before the icon - maybe try to sync it together?

You need to align "map notes' (top right corner) somehow. It should at least start (maybe) from the same vertical and be aligned to the left (central alignment is good only for busyness cards or small frame space). Maybe try to change the color to be more distinctive against background. Also, try to enter it without Caps Lock - it should look better. This is not a header to be capitalized but rather text. And text should not be all capitals.

There should be a space between hyphen and the text itself.

Terr numbers (01 and so on) are hard to read on the lighter background. Maybe change the numbers color or add some bordering (or increase type size).

It is all for now, maybe I will add more later if I see something else.

It could take a long time to reorganise all of those regions/borders/landscape but I think it's something which has to be done if this map is ever going to be quenched.

Oh, and I'm not a big fan of the landscape around this river:-

I just think the banks of the rivers (non-playable territory) should be a different colour.
