Iceland [Quenched]

[The Viking]

Btw, I'm no gameplay expert, but should Southern maybe have a bigger bonus/fewer territories?
4 territories to hold, 7 all in all, borders Reykjavik which is likely to be held early on in the game, as well as Eastern which is only 2 territories to defend and gives a +4 bonus and borders Northern which will take a while to be secured by one player.
Sorry if this has already been discussed.

[RjBeals]

I'm no gameplay expert either (hence my rank). I am up for changing bonus amounts. It was discussed early on with oaktown, but I think it fizzled out.

Does anyone else think that the Southern region should move up to a +5 bonus?

[Ruben Cassar]

Bonuses as I think they should be:

Eastern: +3
Southern: +5
Northern: +5
West Fjords: +3
Western: +4
Rejkjavik: +3

Agreed - possibly Rejkjavik could be +4 but otherwise spot on...

Eastern & WFjords have 2 borders - so +3 is better... the others have more...

N & S - have same borders - N has 1 more territory - so +5 is fair for both.

In a 2 player game I can see it being a battle between N & S - and each player trying to hold the interleaving continents... good stuff.

Nudge.

I started work on the small map, but got sidetracked. I haven't given up though.

Remember my bonus suggestion in the next update RJ.

[t-o-m]

this looks good,
although i dont like the lots of stroke on the bonus numbers (the big white stroke), whats it look like with that turned down?

[RjBeals]

Remember my bonus suggestion in the next update RJ.

Implemented already.

And without the stroke, it gets lost - and I think the stroke doesn't have a negative impact on the look of the map.

There are a few army circles hanging off their territory when there's room to have them on all the way - Dangsnes, Olafsvik, Budardalur, Skeidararsandur, and Keflavik.

Other than that, this map is really looking good.

Originally I tried to position the army circles where the actual towns were. My new revision (not posted yet) has some circles moved around.

[Ruben Cassar]

Hmm would you consider using the Icelandic name for Iceland for the title? I think it's Island with an accent somewhere. The Icelandic guy who was making the other map used that.

[RjBeals]

Naa... I would prefer to keep it Iceland. Very few people would understand "Island" is the icelandic word for Iceland. that guy who started the previous iceland map was from iceland - so it made sense to him.

Ok just a thought.

No need to post his map in here again. We know yours is better! :p

[RjBeals]

I'm not happy with this - but thought I would post anyway. It's too busy. The land features don't work well in the small map.

[gimil]

I dont see the problem RJ mate. . .

I think it looks stunning.

I think the large version looks slightly better than the small. Some of the details are harder to see on the small, I guess. Oh well, I always play the large anyway

very few people?
Billions of people call it Island/Islande/Islandia.. perhaps 700 million in the Americas alone.. probably another 6-700 million europeans prefer Is- instead of Ice-

sorry for spamming.. in the official CC language it´s iceland of course - just thought your comment was a funny example of slight anglocentrism in this "enlightened and global" world of ours. It also gave me the opportunity to congratulate you for the prettiest muthafu#£ing map in the foundry!

[TaCktiX]

I'd say the only issue on the small map is that the text is harder to read. Perhaps make it a bit large and more defined for the small?

[ZeakCytho]

Well, I vote for calling it Iceland. But the poll doesn't seem to have that option

[RjBeals]

Forget it. The poll is fu*ked. I can't get the options to work. But thanks for your vote Zeak. I think I'll keep it Iceland.

[CatfishJohnson]

can we just call it iceland...cause thats what maps say

[Ruben Cassar]

Haha. Priceless response. Of course it depends on the language used for the map.

I think the map maker should decide what he wants to call it so let's stick with Iceland.
