Treasures of Galápagos [Quenched]

[edbeard]

concerns

1. reef 1 (red 10) is all by itself. Do you think there's big advantage there? There's two routes to it though.

2. There's quite a few borders I'd like to be cleared up.

Fernandina - F1 - F11 (tiny strip of F1 not clear enough in my opinion also the impassable water above F1 by Isabela North could be confusing. Maybe put some reef there)

Santiago - Reef4 (border?)

Santiago - Lugger Isiago (I don't think the impassable water here is clear enough. Maybe put some reef there)

Santa Fe - SC4 - SF2 (not quite sure what borders what in that area by the reef)

T1 - Isabela West (border or not?)


3. I talked about the impassable water in a couple places above. But, I think it could be confusing in a few areas where it is quite small. It just doesn't jump out at you enough whereas small pieces of reef would be very definite and not ambiguous.

Thanks for all that edbeard...I don't want to end up with reef all over this as i think it is quite balanced now. i did add some reef to F1 - F11 around Fernandina. But the others i have simply adjusted the tert boundaries.
I think this works better.

Version 11.

Now are u sure you can afford that, I wouldn't want to be seen to be twisting you arm, simply because i'm in rehab. But thank you, you are most generous.

[gimil]

1: Just looking at it now.. I initially didn't see the luggers, and still find it hard to find them quickly...

While I suspect that would grow with play of the map, I wonder if you could not make them a dark blue, or maybe a brown, to make them stand out from the page more... They kind of blend in a bit at the moment, I'd like for them to feel sharper.

2: is it possible/does it look any good to move the word penguin to the right under the iguana, expand the glow make it cover that gap, and perhaps extend the glow out along to the edge of that whole piece? not sure exactly what I'm wanting here, but that hole just jumps at me... (maybe irrevelant, I dunno, if it's not to hard to take a look and change it back if not... I'll take your word if you say it's not (note this one is mostly irrelevant, but I'd still like to see a lugger colour update)

The rest is looking real nice Congrats on the stamp!

i'll see what i can do

I like the resource-based idea of the map, we need more of those maps. Really don't know what's holding this map back, it's that "something" I can't put my finger on yet.

ah probably like i stated in your map,,,commenting in general is slow at the mo...and the number of maps in development has grown considerably so less people commenting plus more maps equals fewer poeple for each map.

I'm alright with pretty much everything about this map. The luggers stand out to me - though some are brighter than others on the page 10 post - and the bonuses seem fine.

Forgive me if I've missed this in the thread, but what's the plan for naming the territories? Right now you have two sets of "F" territories, and one wierd "Fl1" territory. And i would avoid using "I" for any territory names unless you come up with a font in which the I looks entirely different than a 1.

I take all that on baord and c what i can produce.

I dont get what the water icon denotes. Isn't there water everywhere? The water icons are only on land too, huh?

Fresh water - for drinking... to maintain your Treasure hunting activities...

well regardless of your thoughts that it might be a bit silly, it was put there because the Galapagos Islands actually have very little water on them, so it is at a premium, which is why players are going to grapple over it.
As for food, i'm sure the sea provides plentiful bounty.

ok gotcha, maybe you should denote thats its fresh water, since there is water everywhere which makes it a bit confusing.

It does say "fresh water" in the legend on the top left...

The white text in the top left seems to be a little hard to read, probably because of the white black contrast on such a thin font. Would you be able to add more beef to the font? or consider redusing the back intensity a little?

Sure gimil.....i'll look at that for you.
