i think that the map is awesome i sould say that is fine the way it is now and for the bonuses i started to think in how are the players going to hold the continents so i think the bonuses should be like this:

-Hyrule castle: 2 or 3 (by the amounts of countries i think its an easy continent)
-Death Mountain: 5 ( its attacked by four places but only defend in one)
-Zora river: 4 (it has a few countries so it could be easy but it can be atacked from many places)
-Kokiri Forest: 3 or 4 ( it can only be attacked from 2 points so its easy to defend)
-Hylia Field: 7 ( its the most dificult part to hold if you are playing against many players you could be killed from everywere so thats why so much countries)
-Gerudo Dessert: 4 ( here you could be attacked from one place so its easy to hold but you need to conquer a lot of places so its difficult too)
-Lake Hylia: 4 or 5 ( its difficult to hold so you need more power from here "besides here is the most difficult temple for me "=P)

i hope that what i wrote its easy to understand if you need more help or ideas look at my profile there it is my hotmail. :P

Back on the subject of actually improving the map, you could probably just connect all the temples in the XML and have a sidenote that says all the temples are connected. It's better than having lines all over the place. That is, if you want to connect the temples.

its a good idea and give a bonus +1 for holding 2 or 3 temples

Hey I know we could connect all the temples to help open up the map, with some kind of symbol to indicate it like the 3 triangle sign or a note on the map. :lol:

I bet you all wish you thought of that before me. :P

You were talking about giving a bonus for holding temples. I, on the other hand, was just talking about connecting them.

maybe its a bad idea to connect the temples beacose you could get attacked from more places so you couldnt hold the continent for a lot of time

The space map plays fine, I don't see how temple connections are bad.

Hard to hold continents isn't a drawback, it's a feature. Not every continent can be Australia. :lol:

how about a tunnel with three parts between lake hylia and zoras domain. these 3 "countries" will not belong to a continent and wont have a bonus (like the claims in world 2.0 map) you may call them east tunnel, west tunnel and middle tunnel or something similar.
same idea for geruda valley and lakeside observatory connection with two "countries", north tunnel, south tunnel

this will certainly look better than an arrow and bring some variety to the map. that will fit also good in the general concept.

New version. Nothing huge changed.

Poll initiated. I think it's best to decide what to do with the temples before any changes are made to the other inter-continent links, like making them one-way or making them continent-neutral tunnels.

Gerudo River

Post by newline »

just as a side note that you might want to put in the xml file the Gerudo River only alows you to travel from the Gerudo Bridge to Lake Hylia. so you might want to make it a one-way border.

this might not work out but i thought it would be a cool idea to make the all the temples(including time) a continent.

as far as copyright goes, i hear nintendo are usually pretty good with that sort of thing. hyrule castle in the background would be amazing.

wanted this map for a while, looks good so far.

hope it doesnt crash and burn! a lot of people will want to play this
