Egypt: Lower [Quenched]

[Kaplowitz]

- Ignore gimil, I think the sphinx looks just fine.

*gasp!*
But seriously, i like it much more now with 65% (or whatever it is). The other was too dark.
Maybe to compromise you can change the color of the shadow, to like a brownish color or something.

In order to do so, i am wanting to understand what is incorrect with it as it stands now.

[cairnswk]

Where's that Gimil chap? Graphics stamp, perhaps??

[yeti_c]

Agree - this looks like it's ready for the Forge...

*Waddles in late*

The only thing that is bothering me is the fact that the pillars seem to stand out to much compared to the play area. But I also cant think of a reasonable way to fix this so im not going to hold it back.

looking good cairns...i think the pillars look fantastic and give it a realy nice 3 D look. It would be nice to have a statue on the other pillar but i dont think this is possible.

[mibi]

love that ocean color, nice work.

[yeti_c]

Small concern - but feel free to ignore - the 2 pillars are of different height...

Yes C....deliberate because of the title. If it's a great prob, i can change, but i don't think it is.

QFT

the islands above Kha and on the right to a terit begining with "S" (forgot it's name) anyway those little islands dont fit in with the map, the map is beveled and has some kind of filter on and those islands do not.

p.s. those islands arent actual terits

[Kaplowitz]

Im really trying to nit-pic here, but where the river enters the ocean near Ament and A-ment it looks like really weird on the large map.

[t-o-m]

Im really trying to nit-pic here,

i thought that Upper Egypt (at the bottom) were terits!
maybe make it clearer that theyre not terits?

I think they're fine now that he made them transparent, they have no army circles and they are not in the key.
Forge this

Im really trying to nit-pic here, but where the river enters the ocean near Ament and A-ment it looks like really weird on the large map.

That's because the large map is an enlarged version of the small. When i split the maps, i will fix issues like that.

[cairnswk]

Dows made slightly larger to keep in tune with dow size in upper egypt.

Final Forge

---The Lower Egypt Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry Furnace (okay, maybe not) and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. As long as there is still discussion or posts that have yet to be commented on, the map will remain in Final Forge until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

--Andy

[cairnswk]

Thanks Andy.

[AndyDufresne]

Topic isn't so active now, so it must be getting close.

The only thing I'd suggest is perhaps reworking where the Nile flows into the Sea...the color change in some areas looks odd (near Sema. and a few other places).

Also, whenever, lets see the XML.

I'm currently working on centering, but below is xml for checking.

I don't know if your still centering but the small has a few coordinates still off.

I don't know if your still centering but the small has a few coordinates still off.

Sorry Gimil...i forgot to upload the adjusted one. F5 please for maps above.
