Feudal War [Quenched]

Gimil, gonna be agood map, interesting gameplay and all.

But i'm a bit worried about the font too.
*The white in the instructions of your last post is too blury/cramped, might need a cleaner/crisper font for such a space, especially whilst backgrounded by the wavy bricks.
*The word classic in the titile could probably do with not been so stretched out, i.e.e shorten/squish abit and centre it in its current place.
*As for the text on the map (which is looking nice), but the kingdom name text seems a little small (i.e. to small to read), while the numbers seem like they're all going to get lost underneath the army no. - Maybe we get get a better gauge on this if you showed us what the map looked like with army no. and this numbering? (Or is that a couple of steps away yet?) - i'm reakoning they'll need not to be so discreet, even though i'm usually a fan of subtelty.

P.S. Would love the mountains widdened a little to bring them more to prominence.

If you refer back to page 33 youll see a large image which is fine and a small image which is 30px of the size guidline. The small iamge on that page, pritty much meet your request if i was allowed the extra 30px i want.

Can you see is you make the xtra room for the white text out of the title area? I'd prefer to try something like that before we have to allow extra room.

Just wanted to say that I like it. Thumbs up.

I was going to say something about the distinction of the regions (because it will help to know which territories that you can bombard) but then I saw that the territories that are parts of kingdoms are highlighted in black. Good work.

dynasty is still misspelled in the map that is part of the legend

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Sun Oct 28, 2007 4:43 am

spelling errors:

* in the minimap you have dynsaty
* left legend you have delpoy for the village
* right legend you have terrtories

other comments:

1. where are the army circles?
2. font is kinda hard to read especially in the small map. i think it's mainly because of the font color. but you could also try changing the font. i like the one on the minimap. try it.
3. put my name 3rd after yeti_c i haven't done that much to deserve to be second.
4. there's still the bombardment problem. you have in the legend that castles can bombard all terits within their kingdom. but that's impossible.
because you can't have both attack and bombard from 1 terit to another. so i say make only the non-adjacent terits bombardable from the castles.
otherwise you'll have a big problem.

let's say you start with barbarians. and your first action is to bombard 1 and 2. you can't attack them because you have to bombard and they turn neutral. there will be no way of advancing and you'll be stuck there.

guys im going to let you in on a little secret, i have had the WORST week of my life (Its only wedensday).

A small part of this horrible, horrible week is a system crash just as i started saving the latest update for this map. I now cant find teh file on my comp.

"Now you might be saying, why dont you keep back ups then?"

Well I save all my work on mu flash drive(Which hasent left a USB slot in 2 months) has suddenly went missing.

you have a habit of crashing the computer and corrupting the file or deleting it by accident. wtf are you doing man??

i keep a file for every update i do. for age of merchants i have around 140 psd files and ~90jpg ones. for each update i have 1 psd file for small 1 psd for large plus 2 jpgs 1 large 1 small. and all these files are then saved on my wife's pc and on my email. it's impossible to lose something.

if somehow i lose an update i have all the previous ones. if my computer crashes i have my wife's. if both crash i have the file on email.

PS: yes i'm a freak with back-ups. it's something i started doing when i got my first job.
