I'd be super down to finish this. I'm not so active on CC anymore but as you say Fuchsia I come back from time to time.

Is the map making process still active in the foundry? If so I'll pick this back up at some point : )

Now this man is a blast from the past. If you're back hit me up for some ...

Has anyone plotted this data on a graph?

Thanks everyone, glad to have your feedback.

Yeah that stats page is a little weird – not sure why you'd ever need to rank anybody by number of waiting games... but new features are always welcome.

I haven't been on CC in so long (like a lot of people) and I'm wondering what's been going down.

Any big news? Forum drama? How has the pandemic affected CC? Do you guys on the forums still play as many games as you used to?

I know people are always talking about CC going down the pooper – but ...

Long time no see :D

I've always been committed to finishing this map and would be so grateful if we could continue the development process. Recently I've had some time to update the map with fresh eyes and made several changes – the most notable one being making the overall map smaller which will ...

Now we’re talking!

Congratulations HitRed! You've worked really hard on this and finally your efforts have paid off. Well done

Hi Ian!

Merry Christmas to you too... and happy spring! Hope the weather is as beautiful where you are as it is here. As always apologies for the slow progress. I will absolutely make a small image as proof of concept.

I will change the region names as per your recommendations and take on board ...

Congrats! Really great to hear, and very encouraging for map makers and players alike.

Cheers Bruce.

Slow progress but progress all the same. We'll get there in the end.

The owner automatically deducting renewal costs is also a point of contention. That really pisses a lot of people off. It also says wham is only in it for the money, not the game, not the community.
Sure, I feel you. I don't really care what motivates them. But the money will stop coming if they ...

Fab! Glad to hear it's coming along, I'm looking forward to seeing Version 4!

Usually here is the other way around. Community shows involvement and works toward a goal and gets the support. If nobody shows interest it probably won’t go anywhere.

So developing maps that have the added benefit of being mobile friendly could be later catagorized as that and used on the site ...

I will happily design/develop new map(s) for mobile... some maps could also be re-jigged to work better on mobile: i.e. no gameplay changes, but the map graphic would suit mobile better (portrait in orientation, less hectic and overall simpler in aesthetic).

However, the real answers are:

Hey Robespierre, thanks for your comment!

That's certainly a clear way of articulating Ian's idea. I think that overall there are currently lots of different dimensions to the map, and I feel that adding another element will make the map more complicated while not adding an appropriate level of ...

Hi HitRed! Nice to see another map in development

It's an interesting conceptual map and looks like a fun one to play!

I have some points for your consideration. I've not read the thread so apologies if they come up elsewhere.

People don't game in their desktop browsers anymore. People game on their phones.

CC needs an app. Most maps wouldn't be ideal for the smaller and portrait screens, but new ones can be made. Luxembourg would work quite well. I can imagine lots of people playing speed games on their iPad/phone ...

When I first joined CC, the map foundry was a hive of activity. There were many many people creating, developing and giving feedback on maps.

I''m not totally sure what happened, but nowadays hardly anyone is making maps and less people are playing CC. I think a big factor is the general decline of ...

You're right. The names are debatable to put it lightly. There are many problems with this map – e.g. the 'Medeterranea' bonus colour doesn't correspond with the actual map colouring, 'Western Russia' is both the name of a bonus region and a territorial region, the impassables + one-way assaults are ...

Thanks to all for your continued support. I've finally found the time to make an update... apologies for taking such a long time. I've moved countries and started a new job – I hope they're good enough excuses.

t-o-m, since photobucket has started to block free forum access to images hosted on its servers, u'll either have to pay to let us see the map images or, preferably, find another site to host them.

Thanks for the heads up, Ian. I'll get it sorted.

I can't believe how quickly time is going ...

1. I don’t know if it’s possible for randomly-selected naturals to start +/- 3… if it was possible, what do you suggest? Perhaps every region, including player starts, could start with 4 troops?

2. I'm open to having a starting neutral in each square. On the map, there are only 8 squares out ...
