Graphically it looks great. Gameplay, much less so. I suggest connecting Sri Lanka to Either Australia or Madagascar via Maldives (not on map. yet.)

Seriously look into maldives.

The map is dark, looks rather depressing. Make the territories lighter.

I like it, but the style doesn't seem to work for this map. It's too dark and it should have a more map-like look. Why is there so much detail on the inner African countries yet China is 1 big territory? Things like that, gameplay wise, must be adjusted.

however, i would like to see this project continue

way lighter. the map is pretty depressing if u look at it.

china should be split. im not sure if 2 is enough. maybe into 3 parts.

is there anything u can add gameplay wise to fill up some of that dead space in the ocean?

this is what im thinking.

1. change sea route terts into port cities.

2. add ships that can bombard land targets, and attack submarines

3. submarines that can one way attack port cities

between zambia and mozambique, it looks like there is another territory because i see a line splitting mozambique. is that suppose to be 2 terts? if so, ur missing a name. if not, then u have an extra line.

in the thailand and malaysia area. y does thailand's south tert border extend so far down south? that whole peninsula should be malaysia not just the tip.

jordan text should be on the bottom not on top.

no, there isn't 2 territorys, can you copy the map and paste it into paint and circle around the spot that you see, then save it and go to tinypic.com
and browse and look for teh map then click on the map and wait for it to load, then there should eb links to teh map, copy teh one that says "direct link" and paste it in a reply.


in the thailand and malaysia area. y does thailand's south tert border extend so far down south? that whole peninsula should be malaysia not just the tip.

i'll try to fix that but i'm not sure if it will work with gameplay or not.

ok, i won't add any ships lol.

i added jordan for better game play, i added it in so middle east can attack africa.

no, the islands are not a bonus for now, i don't know if i will add a bonus for them or not but as of now there not a bonus.

A review, huzzah!!!


I follow the concerns that it is all darkish.

but now the review:
Middle East:
7 country's, 5 need to be defended to keep the continent, good bonus would be 5, BUT!
I suggest you cut away the following links:
Saudi Arabia - Sudan
Saudi Arabia - Ethiopia
Oman - Socotra

Then add the following connection:
Socotra - Somalia

and that will give the Middle East a bonus of 4, more then fine for it!

Make following continent on te legend Northern Africa (spelled wrong)
Northern Africa:
7 Country's, 5 need defences for continent bonus thus a bonus of 5 is fine

With changes I added above, I believe the bonus of 5 is still good.

No comments on this continent

Southern Africa:
Remove the links from Madagascar ro Mozambique and make that link in the middle of the old connections.

4 Country's and 3 need defences to keep bonus => Bonus of 3
Perhaps add Angola to it (spliting Zambia). This won't change the bonus in my eyes.

Asia:
Make the unplayable territories north of this the color of Turkey.

China can stay 1 territorie in my eyes, perhaps add Tibet but nothing more.

Bonus I got from Asia being 13 country's and 6 needing defence is 7, Perhaps 6 would be better.

Possible change the link from India - Sumatra to Sri Lanka - Sumatra? This way people need atleast 1 more army to cross over the map.

Indonesia:
A bonus of 3, makes sence for me.

No comments

Australia:
A bonus of 1, if you stretch it 2, but definatly not more

no comments for the rest

You can use any language you see fit. It just reflects very poorly on your character to use the word in that way. just saying that you might want to think about what you type even though this is 'only the internet'

I do agree that ships probably aren't needed here.

Instead of Asia split one part and call it south east asia (as this is what that area is actually referred to in real life) and try to find a name for the western area. maybe call it southwest asia if you can't find anything.
