edbeard wrote:first of all
a couple questions and thoughts/ideas
1. does wicked the witch border the Tombstone Terrace? I ask because the moon seems to act like the territory area. If so, this gets to my next point.
2. how about making the Witches' Way area into the orange spot. This way, the moon can be made into an orange like colour making it more scary and halloween like.
3. How about making the impassable coffins block the border from Wolverine to Jack O'Lantern (misspelled on the map as Latern btw). This'll make the Animal Farm area more holdable I think.
4. Have you made any decision as to my Spider gives a bonus and extra bonuses for each region you hold instead of it being a way to attack all over the map? It does make for unique gameplay by having one very important territory that can go almost anywhere but seems to make everything almost impossible to hold. I personally don't like needing to put armies on all of my territories in a continent (a la Waterloo).
edbeard wrote:well the orange and red switch only makes sense (in terms of putting in the work) if the moon is going to be given an orange look to it. Though, this might be a bad idea since the moon looks good now. I dunno. The idea of an orange moon seems halloweeny to me.

edbeard wrote:I did but personally I prefer not being able to attack (or bombard) all over the map. That's one of the things about Waterloo that's annoying at times. You have to hold every territory in your continent because of the artillery.
It's definitely unique but not a personal preference of mine.
With regard to the riddle, saying bite but not eat seems a bit of a stretch as a legend instruction.

Cause I was confused about that also, until I read your response a few posts ago. I thought the moon was just part of the background.

Any thought to the idea of turning Blackwidows Roost into a spider web?
Other than that, it's looking good.......

Now one of the CAs needs to move this thread to the main foundry.

"Allfellows Church" could move closer to the circle (possibly a bit left as well).
Move "Undertakers Plot" a pixel or two right so the U doesn't run into the picture.
Have the bonuses been discussed and/or finalized?
