Egypt: Valley Of The Kings [Quenched]

why not continue the colour of the tomb to the underworld? you don't really need the grey I think

edit: this might just cause more confusion nvm

then in the pictures just have Tomb A + amente (the symbol) = 4

since all the underworld bonuses are 2, why not just call that underworld symbols and put the bonus of 2 into the text on the bottom? you could also do this with the ankh. That way people won't associate the bonus with only the territory itself? I dunno just an idea

btw the arms of ankh as borders are fine. I was just talking to myself sorry.

*OK...i've put the amente symbol into the tomb bonus diagram...works well, thanks for that.
*as to the colours, i think i'll leave them as they are for the underworld.
* modified the text in the instructions...is this any clearer?

V30 updates.

the scarab heads have colours. do they represent the continent colour?

for example the cleaopatra scarab is grey and it fits but the ramesses III scarab is blue instead of pale green.

also i just remembered at some point you said you'll change the name of the map if you introduce cleopatra because she's not in the valley.

fixed...to each continent color.

yes I am still considering that. I am fixated on the Valley of the Kings. So I really think Cleopatra and Nefertiti might get the axe...much to Enigma's possible disgust.

Anyone got any nore feedback on the large map?

yeti_c · Post by **yeti_c** » Wed May 23, 2007 8:37 am

I like it...

Now I can understand it better...

One thing - minor...

The "Death Masks" - I think the interleaved colour between the blue could be a bit more yellow - leaving the place for the army white?

the map is low of quality (all those dots near names etc.) you did that on purpose for just showing?

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Wed May 23, 2007 9:18 am

what dots? the stars? :shock:

I think that's just the JPG compression that Cairns is using...

It keeps the image size smaller - but some quality is lost...

Very common if screenshotting too!

On that note though - I'm not sure I like the Background texture of the bottom legend. (The explanation text) - or is that corrupted by JPG too?

Wisse the map is at 80% compression which is how I normally present my maps until final forge. the dots in the background are stars which are painted on the top of tombs chambers of course meaning the fermament or heavens.

There are a couple of areas were JPG compression has corrupted the image though... unless I've sneezed on my monitor!!!!

This is the small map at 90% compression...is the quality better?

cairnswk · Post by **cairnswk** » Sun May 27, 2007 6:46 am

Is there any further feedback for this map?

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Sun May 27, 2007 7:09 am
