Do you know if the most recent graphics file was updated as well? It's on the first post, and includes wording regarding shell mound being attacked by the canoe, etc.

So, how it plays now? I haven't tested the new version.
I think that if everyone is happy and there're no issues, we can quench this one soon...

Sorry for the delay. It seems like 8 is too few actually. We're going to try adjusting it up to 10 or maybe 11, and will post new xml shortly.

Yeah, what happened? I'll go back and read the last few pages, but there was A LOT more starting territs last time I played this map. Not sure whether I like the new set up, but I'll play with an open mind. Maybe it's better this way, who knows?

The number of current starting positions seems like it's a good balance, I think we're at a pretty good place with the map.

I've played a few 1v1 games, some dubs and now a trips, and the games were all pretty much even.

Does anyone have any other thoughts, suggestions, comments, changes, additions, etc.?

Tequesta bonus TQ... has 2 territories, MI-3 and CH-2, all others have the same mixture. I don't think that the territory markings cant be made more confusing then they are atm.

Will I play it again... hmm maybe to cross map it and if there was FOE button for maps I would have press it without thinking.
Even a little kid knows whats the name of my country... http://youtu.be/XFxjy7f9RpY

Wow, I'm sorry you don't like the map. As you can see this is the first comment or problem since the map went live last July, and I want to make sure I understand your concerns and hopefully turn your thoughts on the map around.

First, regarding the territory markings, I know there are a lot of symbols but really it's no different than Prison Riot, but instead of gangs it's tribes, and instead of gang colors it's tribe symbols. The tribe abbreviations and legend are all well laid out but I know even from my games on the map it takes a little studying to find the pieces you might be looking for. A quick search showed you're playing your first two games on the map, both of which are only in the first round, I would ask that give the map a chance but if not I understand. I'm not a fan of every map either.

I'm also not sure what you mean about Tequesta and the mixture, so please let me know a little more detail on that.

I do really appreciate the feedback, and again hope you give the map another chance.

Map is good naming of territories isn't... Example: My teammate says drop all on TQ-4, so where is that? And I start looking threw whole map until I find that territory, and it usually takes 2-3 searches of whole map just to locate a single territory. Its confusing for players that play the map first time, and I bet it is confusing even for players that have played multiple times already. From the legend I immediately notice that TQ is Tequesta and I look for the territory according to the color. Bump, no such territory in Tequesta, it is in the opposite side of the map, in Apalachee. You even don't have background color shadow on TQ-4, so generally the legend is more or less useless for finding the territory that my teammate mentioned.
Generally the problem is quick navigation threw the map. Btw have u tested how will this map look on mobile device? you will run out of battery until you find the territory u need lol, jk. I tried to start playing both of my turns on mobile device but it was extremely hard so I had to postpone my turns until I can get to a PC.
