Conquer Club

Why should they be? The colours of the players who get the cars will be random anyway.

Idk, I think it'd look better. At least make is so none of the cars match their CC positions, if you know what I mean. It just bothers me that only cyan's in its CC position, cuz it seems less... random, I guess. Idk maybe I'm just being OCD.

Not really ... I just happened to put them in that order and wasn't paying any attention to the order whatsoever. If you could select player absolute starting areas it would be sort of fun to match color to color but because its random it never entered my mind. I am also one of those people that likes things to have synergy so I will see if I can get them in the CC color order with a minimum amount of effort =)

This makes me happy

Team 3 is not really blue, though, is it? It's purple. I'm not saying it needs to change, but all that fuss about CC colour order, and they aren't really CC colours. (And the green here is much more yellow.)

Yep the green i used is more lime and the dark blue ... well I like using purple for it but can make that more blue.

Like I said, don't change the shade on my account. The purple probably fits better with the overall colour scheme of the title and legend and so on. I just thought I would warn you that someone will likely suggest that it should really be blue to match the CC colours. Feel free to consider the issue, take a stand now, and say that the purple stays. It is your artwork.

I will be changing the colors a little... I will have an update later today or tomorrow =)

Map has come a long way since i looked in the foundry dolomite good work - also I think i see a typo in your Starting Forces type up underneath the map


In a 3 player game
- all players would have 3 pit crew each with 2 remainder set to 1 neutral. (8/3)
- all players would have 6 track locations each with 2 remainder set to 3 neutral. (20/3)

Do you mean to say they would have 2 pit crew each, equaling 6 pit crews used?

map looking pretty good.
I don't care for that background picture with the cheap filter run on it.
I would suggest working on the road/track graphic also - it looks sort of tubular.
Your icons & layout are really good.

Nice work.

dont you need 3 digits? thats what i was told

Yes, it is customary to see how the map looks with three digits. A cursory examination tells me that most of the troop numbers will be fine as they are, but it might look better if in the Pit Equipment portion, the boxes containing the numbers were swapped with the icons next to them, so that instead of seeing

A 88 *

it would be

A * 88

which would give room for longer numbers with obscuring the icon.

Agreed ...

Explain to me why I would try to go for the Pit Equipment?

I agree the road surface is pretty uniform, it could use a bit of texture, like an actual road surface, and the red dividers lines are a bit pixely and aren't a uniform length. In places the line is too long, going over the track, and others too short not touch the edges of the track. I suggest changing the color to a caution yellow like the lines on any normal road.

I am looking at white or yellow as possibilities. I also want them to show attack direction so I have a chevron shape I am experimenting with,

Your car is worth +5 total bonus ... you can bombard the other players cars from pit equipment as well as gain a bonus for holding pit equipment.

Ah! Found it. Must've missed it before, thanks.

Got around to updating this ...

I like the yellow arrows. The red/white curve things look a bit rushed at some places (C2-C3 for example.)

Yeah, clean up the red/white shoulder curves a bit as natty has said
The background is showing through the title block on the top.
All of the checkered flags are missing a white block near the top by the flag pole.

I'd like to see some desaturation on the hats and cars, maybe the red and white corner things. The colors are abnormally strong and look unrealistic.

Otherwise its looking quite nice since last I visited.

I have to agree with IH here. Also, I'm not so crazy about the blue-outlined track territories. I just think it doesn't quite stand out as much as I'd like, and I'm not so sure the shade matches with the rest of the map. I thought the red was okay. You could try using the same red that's used in the railings.
