Every map gets stamps. Find this smiling stamp where the stamp would be found.

What maps thread am I found in?

I voted for large map! B/c I like to play uml foggy trips/quads on them. (;

I voted last week also, for fantasy b/c I think so much could be done w/ that and I hated history/geo in HS. I didn't realize we were supposed to post why we voted lol and I followed the link from the sidebar on the homepage the first time.

Another new face in the foundry. Glad to have you aboard here as well Jane. No need to say what or why you voted, but it does help to steer the undecided your way. ;)

Also, JaneAustin has asked to help out here with a few tournaments. Thanks for that. =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D> =D>

I voted for a small map - but that still allows up to 35 territories. I'd have voted for a large map (so it could be used in Battle Royale etc) but there is a limit of 99 territories. Why a limit of 99? That's not large enough for me! So I figured if I can't have it large then why not make it small and playable. Whatever we do will be epic anyway but the smaller maps are played more - with the exceptioon of Classic that is! Also, 35 territories is enough for a fantasy map!

I voted for a huge, sprawling map. We need more epic fantasy around here!

Oh, and the stamp is in Three Kingdoms of China!

I generally like the medium maps so this is my vote for your poll, too small and dice play a bigger part, too big and lot's of scrolling :P

I was pretty sure medium map would be in the lead, but I voted small map, because I feel that there are not enough small maps, and they bring very good games to all FS players. Maybe it could be the return of FS players, as it is dying out right now.

I voted for a small map because I often play on a small screen. Big maps burn the eyes outta me!

I figured there's a good chance of this becoming quite a complex map, so I erred away from small. At the same time the map making process sounds like a great time for people to try their hand at developing and a large & complicated map might put them off. So on grounds of effectiveness I'm voting Medium.

All depends on how this gets made. Lots of ways for the last but one poll to go (the one we choose how or who makes this).

Buy a bigger screen :lol: And what of us with big screens. Small maps look like dots. :P

Seems like a lot of people agree with you.

Thanks for coming guys. Only way to help out with this is to keep coming back. We have competitions every week in the second post of page one. Tournaments are being held. Lots of stuff to keep you entertained.

You can show your support for this project in more ways than just showing up. We have an avatar and signature for you to use as well. Randomly as I travel through the forums, if I come across someone using either one, a medal will be thrown at them. Think of it like the spread the love competition. Just without the partner.
