Conquer Club

I have to say... that is some of the most subtle animation I have seen in a long time. Looking at the version at the top of page 8, I had to practically glue my eyeballs to my laptop to figure out what was going on there. Perhaps there's a slightly more contrasting way you can highlight those dots? Actually, now that I think about it, the problem would probably be solved if they were lit for a longer period of time; long enough for me to figure out exactly which ones are lit and which aren't.

My idea was that if you where to read the legends you would see it while scanning over that area. Your not looking for the animation but you see it it the first time you read it. This means you know its their and can look back to it if you need to, without it annoying you while playing.

any else agree with me?

not only that it emphasises that there is somehting special tht players need to take notice of.
I agree with you.

Yeah I agree - you don't want it animated so that it jumps out at you when you know the rules.

tidy up of the legends before I reinstate the animation.

Perhaps you could draw it out so that they glow more slowly then? (so that they stay lit longer, and fade in and out more slowly) It would even be less distracting, but easier to see which dots are lit.

hoo hum.

It seems to me that this is the only issue remaining ...

Perhaps this could be addressed by reconsidering which/how many of the 'rule 1' examples to include.
At the moment we, somewhat arbitrarily, include one or more example of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 20.
We already exclude 12, 14 & 16.

If we were to exclude one further row of examples the layout could be restored to its former glory.
Perhaps exclude the 20?
Or combine the 10 and the 20 on one line?

It's OK Cic - we already adjusted it to fit pixel perfectly - see image above!!!

Seems to me it's still a little cramped, but that's fine as long as everyone else is happy.

Does that mean we're just waiting for stamps now?

Oaktowns away for the weekend (again) for a job interview. Wish him luck everyone

this looks a lot better

I got me a job for next year, so now I can relax and stamp maps... I'll have a long look at this one tomorrow.

I've looked, and i liked. The only thing I would want to see changed is in the legend text, change the working to "Spaces can attack all adjacent spaces" because that's really what you mean.

Hmm, and I see you are calling a Conquer 4 a "Row" - maybe sets is better? Anyway, that's ticky-tack stuff...

Cheers Oaktown...

"Set "or "Line" could work.

(first usage of row works though)

Gimil, could you just indulge me with a slight adjustment as suggested in the above graphic and space that bonus area out a fraction just so the whole thing doesn't look quite so squashed...each section squashed on top of each other.

Then I can recommend stamping. Thanks.

You're a hard man to please Cairns... you were asking for those to be aligned with the other bits earlier on in the thread!!?!

Yes and i feel this hasn't quite accomplished it and can be bettered. It's only a small movement change and would make it look so much better.
And beside, Gimil does it to me.....Revenge is sweat Hahahaha! JK.

And I prefer sweet ice cream

I agree with what Cairns is suggesting, though.

Oh did i make a typo. Silly me.

Gimil....just one other request before stamping this....could we also have the large version please.
