does it botters you? :wink:

It's just because the land is darker than the sea so the transparant gets darker on the land than on the sea...if you want I can start trying to change half of the name to make it looks more the same...

Well, personally if you'll excuse the vulgarity I don't give 2 fucks about half the improvements made to maps in the foundry, but I'm 97.6% sure someone will mention it if it reaches final forge, so cleaning it a bit would be nice. I can't imagine it'd be too much work, either, though I'm no expert.

nah your right, i'll change it

as well as the blue colour on Gwyllyra

Going to need consistent images first. I think everyone is mostly satisfied at this point otherwise.

Yes...now that those legends are consistent...i'm certainly happy with both version Coleman.

I think this look tremenedous.

Yabon is seeing distortion similar to Crydee, it might be best to fix them both at the same time.

another minor nitpick.

the note at the bottom should read:

not territory boarders

rather than:

no territory boarders.

Another little thought. I see no problem with the current army circles but could we perhaps see a version without the circles and a version with some more transparency please? If thats not to much to ask for

Seeing it from gimil's perspective for the first time. not may be better then no.

I was reading it to be, "[picture] are paths, there are no borders."

Would a diagram down there showing that 'connected regions'(are they regions, or cities, or what?) can attack each other' be better? I think there might be ample space to do this, though not exactly sure how it might look.

Also, I want you to keep in mind 3 digit numbers and overlaps. Yabon on the small map could be a problem, same with Shamata, and a few others on the right side of the map.

Upon a glance, I also thought the "+2 Queg" was a part of the game board...could you make the division between the legend and the game board slightly more definite or prominent, to differentiate between the two areas?

I personally dont feel this is nesessary although i feel it will be easier to understand, in its current state i think its acceptable

Cannot wait to play on it :wink:

I've just noticed that this isn't really easy to fix...the outerglow is used for the whole word, I can't adjust it for only 2 letters...I'll try my best...

the gameplay note is changed :wink:

I'll post you a version with some more transparency, the version without circles is just ugly...the roads are leading to the circles, if I drop the circles the roads are just stopping in middle of nowhere

there is space to do it but I prefer to keep it simple and also pleased for the eye, if I use every little space to put some notes it will be ugly...I think most of the people will get it like this...

I've taken care of these, I'll post you a map with 3 digits to show you

When there are army numbers on the map I'm sure you will see the difference :wink:

here is the small version with less transparent armie circles (also fixed crydee)

here you have it with 3 digit numbers (also moved some names in the big map, it all fits)

It seems the roads get a little lost in the south against (what I presume to be) the desert.

(new host for images :wink:

)

details:
-fixed roads in the desert
-fixed outerglow on crydee, Yabon, Gwyllyra and Blackwoodpass

Big

Small

The1exile · Post by **The1exile** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 9:19 am

I like it.

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 9:23 am

I've been good with it for several versions now. I think further polishing if it needs to be done could happen in Final Forge, but I don't get to FF maps yet. :lol:

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Fri Oct 12, 2007 9:35 am

i can't see the big version but i see the small. even though they're on the same host.

why not try and use photobucket. it's great.

edit// nevermind i see it now. but you could still use photobucket. it never deletes your images and you can sort them in various ways and stuff.

edit// why does crydee have 2 different glows? the first half is pink and the second is red

same problem for Riibinon. first half is red and second is magenta.

also i'm having a lot of trouble reading the text on the map. it's very small. either make it a bit bigger or increase the size of the maps. you have plenty of spare pixels till you reach the limit.
