Small:

Fluffy, if you want, you can add that special effect in the legend, after seeing it in the whole map, we will decide by using it or not. But please DONT resize the images, not even a little pixel, because Im going to correct the little errors in the xml.

When will the map be quenched, Andy??

Sometime, we'll see when I get around to it.

I'll try and do that at lunchtime
and don't worry, what I'm going to do won't even affect the whole map, let alone the size of it!

i think you should put the continent name first, then the bonus for holding it after that. it looks kinda wierd right now the way you have it.

fluffybunnykins · Post by **fluffybunnykins** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 6:35 am

I did wonder about that myself...

Marv.

I think this is one of the best looking maps I've ever seen. It looks more like the classic map than anything else around and will be popular.

Thanks, Pedro... so I hope.

And you appear to talk about this now, when all version had numbers then names?? But, I tried it, and I disliked, it seems more strange. I will mantain this legend since it probably is the better for the most people, unless I return to the old one with ovals (I personally like it more).

comments?

...so I'm guessing that you're not going to change "Tagalog"?

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 10:06 pm

Here is the legend of the map I got almost all names. No, Im not going to change tagalog. I also know here is written Mindanio instead of Mindanao, but several maps had Mindanao, so I assumed its the correct form.

About the legend effect, fluffy, thanks a lot. But I dont know if I like it as it is. The effect in the light blue letters is much more visible, so its not ok to me... Maybe we can await more opinions, or maybe you can decrease a bit the effect over light blue colour, maybe gray, too.

What do you guys think about it??

Can't wait to play it

fluffybunnykins · Post by **fluffybunnykins** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 2:03 am

I'm away til sunday, so, depending in the feedback, I could edit it on Monday.
I managed to wind down all my games but one, a circus game that's dragging a bit... I think I might be about to do my first deadbeating

[edit] auto-smilies... pah!

Great looking map, but as a person that's color blind... I can't tell hardly any of the continents apart. I know I'm coming in waaay late... But in the future, don't stick colors so similar together. You said earlier what the colors are, so I assume the light blue, blue, pink, and gray are the 4 in the center and bottom right of the map. It just looks like a huge blob to me.

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 1:26 pm

Is this a problem with your monitor? Because I would never say these colours are alike. Im much worried, in fact, about making things easily distinctive. Because of this I adopted these colours, because I thought this would be the simplest way to realize the continents properly. Sorry, but I couldnt do nothing, because I never knew what you are talking about. I can pm you a list of what countries belong to each continent, if you want.

Marvaddin · Post by **Marvaddin** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 9:56 am

Andy, isnt time to this map be quenched? I finished already the xml days ago, the images too. I dont want wait more until fluffy changes the legend. Lets put it alive, then he can change it later if he wants.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 11:00 am

I agree looks very good.

Molacole · Post by **Molacole** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 12:32 pm

wow, this map looks like fun to play!

That legend needs a serious makeover though...

they should darken lines cause its hard to see the boarder lines

AndyDufresne · Post by **AndyDufresne** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 5:18 pm

If you are finished with all the legend tweaking, post an XML image of both the large and small versions, so I can make sure that you've properly centered the army coordinates.

Also (this is a suggestion, not a command), I'd consider perhaps making your name slightly smaller or less conspicuous. Just so it doesn't stand out so much. Of course you don't have to make it so tiny, that it can't be read, but I believe the cartographer's name shouldn't be so prominent. It should just flow with the map, much like how a painter adds his name to a fine piece of artwork.

No pictures of Ferdinand Marcos in the corner? Corazon Aquino?
