i am undertaking the task of revamping brazil. i am working alongside with the original artist (marvaddin) and we have some great ideas. if any of you guys have specific things you would like changed, please don't clog up this section of the forums, but PM me since i don't have an official forum post yet...although my revamping is official

On 7/7/07 I did a game finder search for public, active games for each map.
This list shows each map and how many pages of active games. Its a measure of popularity. I didn't check how many games were on each page (specifically the last) so its a crude measure to be sure.

Someone did one of these lists in April 06 (i think)

I am currently Working On Canada ... Been Busy - Work - But Il have an Image Monday.... also have few other ideas working at the same time I sent you a message before about them

KEYOGI, the revamp is me with pepper

Someone should revamp the classic map. Keep the same look and feel but fix up the uglies. Chief among them is that the army circles are over the names.

I'm working on the Solar System Map now but if no one is doing it by the time I'm finished i might take a crack at it.

I tried to do a revamp of Classic (still need permision). I wanted to post it here first though, because im not sure if anyone will like it. I still need to do attack lines, names, and army circles. I will not at all be offended if everyone thinks that it really sucks.

Let me be the first one not to offend you.

That map sucks. Big time. It's horrible.

It's strong words, I know. And my appologies. But really. The classic map is great. Very clear, very nice and soft graphics. Your idea not only destroys the great design, it would give players epileptic attacks... Forget about it. Please. Don't go there.

I think Classic, Asia and the USA maps will likely not be revamped by members of the community. Lack is going to discuss some changes to these maps with the original creator.

eh, oh well!

As of classic map,i think that army shadows must be better,because blue colours very hard to se.

I think the Ireland map should be revamped. I know it's unique in which it is white or whatever...i just hate it though.

i think the ireland map should be one of the LAST maps propposed for revamp. I beleive its beautiful and well designed

You're my hero. Canada would probably be one of my favorite maps if I could stand to look at it.

I was glad to hear that some of you were suggesting a revamp of the Classic Map. Although it is already a good map, it could be made into a great map. And why not, since it is the most played gameboard of all.

Honestly, something as simple as reducing the darkness of the overall map could make a big difference (and would take all of 3 minutes). Either that, or making the circles (army shadows) lighter would work. Currently, it's sometimes not easy to see who's who on the gameboard.

My thoughts exactly. the graphic design is great and doesn't require meddling. It's just hard to see some of the numbers in the army circles and the army circles are over the names.

Me and peppionbread are thinking about doing a revamp of a map, what map should we revamp?

How did you happen to choose that list? Some of the maps on there are among my personal favorites for visual attractiveness.

they are the ones that i think need revamped.

i forgot to put up there "other(then post what map)"

really??? i think by common concensus these are the ones that need updating

I have to say, even though I did make a selection, I really don't feel that someone who would pick most of that particular group as requiring revision should be the one doing said revisions. Ireland, for example, is a work of art.

I agree with Jota.... Ireland is Fantastic And Might I add .........CCU is awesome .. and I think the Cleanest, well made map on the site... with great game play

I am already working on Canada.. Images will be up soon

No you are not, and Oh Shit! It's Dr. Tran!!!

Anyway, Indochina is hard to revamp because the average narrow minded idiot that takes it up wants to change its game play, as we saw last time someone tired to revamp that and I'm so happy that didn't work out.

I would be very open to an Indochina revamp that didn't mess with the gameplay.
