This map is starting to spark my interest. Can't wait to see the latest development.


--Andy

Here you go :

Large:



Small:



Large Test:



Small Test:



Changes:
-Edited the mountains a bit (any better?)
-Made Moscow army circle a brighter red
-Added lanyards to the sig in the bottom right
-XML is done! (by lanyards)
-Brightened glow of names on small map

To do:
-Edit mountains some more
-Make names on small map easier to read
-Comments?

[Gnome]

good work,

few suggestions...
-on the small map there are names that aren't readable...(like Tymon, actually on the large map it's also to close to the mountains to read properly)
-The 'Uzbekistan' is a bit poorly placed...I was looking to that spot for some minutes before I realise that you couldn't attack Tajikistan from Turkmenistan because the name of Uzbekistan hides that border...

-all those things are details...I think you did a great job on this one

[yamahafazer]

it's looking good... it reminds me of the long way round.....

[lanyards]

What about the XML tests?

--lanyards

[pepperonibread]

What about the XML tests?

--lanyards

Like lanyards said, the XML is done. I've gotta go to bed, so I'll post the map tests and elaborate on this in the morning.

Coming soon. The Komi army number was one pixel off, so I didn't post yours.

[lanyards]

Oh, my bad, I didn't notice it. Well hurry up with it will ya.

Thanks gnome. By the way, I edited my post to include the XML tests.

[Unit_2]

the mountins look alot better

[gimil]

I think it wouldnt hurt to reduce hte shadow on hte east side of hte mountains.

[lanyards]

I agree, the do look a bit dark.

[Unit_2]

i see something, in Kazahkstan the river there is out of its lines, there is some blue on outside of its borders.

also i see little pixels all over the map that is a differnt colors and bug me.

[reverend_kyle]

imho the mountains are still no good. I'd suggest something if I had ideas. I'm bad at mountains also.

[pepperonibread]

It's not a river, but I see what you mean. I'll fix it.

I think you're talking about the grunge effect. That's there so the colors and stuff look slightly more worn and less boring.

[RobinJ]

Really good map here. Certainly on the verge of final forge. Everything is fine but there are a few things I would like to see:

1) I still don't think Moscow is noticeable enough. I think it would be better to make the whole territory a slightly different shade of orange as well, like rjbeals did for the Italy map, as the different colour of army circle.
2) I like the picture of Stalin at the top of the map. However, while I know the Soviet Union only took that name officially when Stalin came to power, a small picture of Lenin might also fit in well

Thanks. I like the Moscow idea, but I'm not sure about Lenin. I'll try some stuff out, though.

[lanyards]

Or, instead of changing the territory color slightly, you could add a different color glow to the text or just mess with it. Which ever way looks better.

Current Map (full details pg. 11):



Area: The Former USSR
Number of Continents: 8
Description: A nearly Classic-style map. Two notes, the territory Moscow gives a bonus of one and always starts neutral, and the Arctic Islands continent gives no bonus.
Current Discussion: Making the impassable mountains look better.

Original Post
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I'm just gonna put it out here:



Some things to think about:
-Is the map too dark (my Canada map was, and I made this the same style)?
-Title? Not sure exactly how to arrange it.
-Do the rivers/mountains look good?
-Font? (not the territory names, the Russian-style stuff) Too much?

Besides that, just comment on anything, bonuses, gameplay, names, accuracy or graphics.

dude hell yea this should deff be made

[pepperonibread]

Update time!

Large:



Small:



Large Test:



Small Test:



Changes:
-Erased stray blue tint in Kazahkstan
-Made Moscow more noticeable (gave it a reddish tint)
-Moved Taymyr army circle three pixels left on large map (just a random edit)
-Cleaned up a few odd pixels around the map, especially on the edge of the playable area

To do:
-Play with Moscow a bit more
-Comments?

EDIT: Now that I see the army numbers added, I think the red army circle on Moscow will just make it harder to see. I'll take that off in the next update, if the community agrees.

[Kaplowitz]

I disagree with your edit, Moscow looks fine.

[edbeard]

could you move Orenburg's circle to the bottom point of that territory and then move its label to where the circle is?

I agree about the Moscow circle. Just make it the same as all the others.

[pepperonibread]

Just a note, I put the XML in the original post, so people can look at it without downloading it.
