"préfecture names"

i started this thread and i like the idea of using the préfecture names instead of the départements. i think that would be fun too. i like both actually.

i might add: the argument for using the préfectures is that many people might not know the names of the départements... that ...

zep, are you still working on it?

>which map?


both, his and yours.

i like your map bruce. zep did say he was going to try it, but it's been weeks or a month since i've heard from him. maybe pm him. pomona also seemed interested in supporting the project.

thanks for this last. i think much of the color problems would be solved in advance by posting color samples. plus, most of any maps i'll do would probably be natural colors, with the territory and country borders being thin and thick black, as opposed to any purple or blue terrain colors. (am in ...

led, paris and île-de-france start neutral in the 18c france beta. something like that might also be interesting here. at least paris

sounds good.

with the flags or coats of arms, this will be the coolest looking map on cc.

I am really HAPPY to have had positive feedback AND constructive criticism from the CC community. MY THANKS to everyone who has viewed or commented on this thread!!

Your ideas of having to change a country's color et cetera after the fact has made me much wiser about the cartographical process in ...

my list of bordering territories doesn't yet take into account the relief map of paris and the île-de-france as more than one ...

i only put an accent if there's no capital letter I in the île-de-france
et merci for the input pomona!! I had thought of the préfectures/capitals of each region but i think that is another map... i would also like to see an 1848 paris map of the revoloution and/or storming of the bastille!!
ciao ...

in a 500 by 500 map i had no prob with the territories at 10 point font. you might need to put them in non-italic double or triple line format, like
'Loire-
et-
Marne' ....

yeah, instead of region names or colors...

"Given these difficulties, frustration 'on both sides is the likely outcome.
Frankly, despite the above argument, if you can produce the changes in a reasonable time and quality, no one should be the wiser."

If this is indeed the case, I'd be more than happy to provide sample artwork. Frustration ...

i think it would be cool to show just the flag for each region, then in the bonus list, show the flag in miniature, the region name, then the number of bonus armies.

same for the flag. thought i'd save y'all the legwork cool with me if y'all are cool getting the art yourselves...

does that mean getting v6 out would take half a year

A very practical question .44, and I'm happy to say that your concern here is not one to worry about.

What I meant to imply is that I (can) put [i]that[i] much time and effort into the final copy. From what I understand, a map takes roughly 6 ...

led why don'y you use coats of arms for each region somewhere

that's a brilliant idea, wally! the regional flags are beautiful! i'd suggest using the regional flag instead of the coat of arms, because it's more recognizable and easier to familiarize with the region (mostly because one sees the ...

I've years of practice in creating very highly detailed hand-drawn fantasy maps (cities, regions, planets), colored with coloring pencils, watercolors, and ink. I'd like to talk about the possibility of my creating some maps like this for CC. *Please note, these are not of the Doodle Earth variety ...

"maps for rpgs instead" = by hand, with colored pencil or watercolor on paper
