Again, I cant understand Suburbia with 4 bonus armies. Nor a bonus for have one country. Its unfair, we discussed it in the Discworld map topic. The players dislike it.
You now need change the legend. Why are South Shore white in the legend? Laval and Ila-Bizard are almost unreadable. Some colours are different, too. Bout de Lile, for example, has a much darker name than the countries are in the map.
There are no bridges between those west end countries? Your bridges are really ugly too. Very light, maybe using black ones... but I dont know...

A player holding Ile Bizard and Suburbia would have 5 bonus with only 2 border countries. Unlike North America, there is no third source of attack that flows through to the rest of the map.

If by "the players" you mean you, God and Kingwaffles, then you're right, but I don't think "the players" is a conclusive consensus. Jota seemed to like the idea in the Discworld topic, and I did too, though I didn't say anything - which makes the count 3 to 2. I, like Jota, think the advantage is balanced by your being a bigger target.

Good points. South Shore is not white - the colour is drawn from the map - but I can saturate it more to make the association clearer. The Bout de L'Ile colour is also inappropriate now that I've toned down its colours. And Laval and Ile-Bizard are less readable because of their being coloured after being typed - I'll rectify that as well.

There are bridges in the West End, but they're not river-crossing bridges...and I forgot about them, which I realized after uploading the images. I'll add them in. And as for the bridges, I had trouble making something look like a bridge with only a few pixels to work with. I'll try darkening them to see if it makes them any better.

its better than some others like crossword and brazil, a bit worse than the fantasy maps. Maybe you should give it a clean like Mr.K/Keyogi is doing with middle east.RjBeals wrote:uhh... why is this map live? In my opinion, this map doesn't even come close to being worthy.

There are definitely maps that are worse than this both in terms of visual appeal and playability.
They weren't Quenched...because that wasn't even around yet!

I agree with the making Downtown a starting neutral thing, I avoid it in 1v1 because of it.

Especially games like the one I had...the other player had Downtown, and EVERY adjacent territory was neutral. Losing conditions from the start.

That is all.
It also needs to have the bonus in the upper left with three territories not be able to be dropped.

I know this post is old, but I'm going to agree here. Of all the maps I like to play due to gameplay, this one has the worst graphics. If someone really went to town, so to speak, with a French/Quebecois theme/color scheme, I think this could be a beautiful map. To be honest, I wish that this had been a graphics contest ahead of North America. But I understand that's more popular.
Is there a way to petition for a contest, other than collecting posts here? I assume it needs approval from the mapmaker...?
