Balearic Islands 1.0

Post by Rih0 »

The last of my mediterranean isles map pack. Malta was already done, cyprus is being done by another player, and balkan peninsula is in the recycling byn.

I couldnt get a great bonus idea for this one. Do You have any idea?

Hi!

I like this map very much, with one caveat: I find the colours too heavy. Maybe you should colour each island with a different colour?

Another question: the mini-map shows two islands while the main map shows three major ones - is this a bug or a feature? (imho, bug, but maybe I'm missing something)

As for bonuses, maybe just divide the largest island into, say, three sections and have 5 "continents" (3 sections + the other two major islands)?

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Well, I hate to point this out to you given the work you've already put in... but there is a two map limit per mapmaker and with Peru and WWII Norway, you're at your limit.

I'd like for you to finish Peru because I think its a great map. But I understand you want to do this map pack as well...

So in general, I'd like to see some impassables on the all of the maps, Sicily, Corsica & Sardinia and this one. Mountains or Rivers would do just fine.

No, its just apearing. Im thinking of removing it. The main idea is just to be an inset showing the spain territory.

Ok. I though about that, but the hard thing is that: they are all islands. There arent much rivers, and/or mountains. Also, this is the grafics part that I hate to do.

Do not foret Falkands. Its inactive for some time, but I pretend to work on it.
WWII Norway is a hard map to work into. I need someone experienced to help me with it.
Peru is on the way. I think I can finish it this year.
