The Dawn Of Ages - Quenched

[Kabanellas]

well, I just think that 'built' word gives a more realistic flavour.

And Strongholds here are like the Gates and tunnels of Moria from the Lord Of The Rings. Enormous chambers, corridors and halls built by the Dwarves inside the Misty mountains

[natty dread]

Yes... but isn't the foundry guideline "function over form"?

Anyway, it's not a big deal. Just do it your way, if it results in lots of complaints in the beta stage you can always change it.

[Kabanellas]

Changes done!!!! posted in 1st page.

Also, we have an OK from Forza concerning the XML.

Smells like a classic around here

[Kabanellas]

That's inspiring!!

I got another option for the legend board. More dynamic and intuitive, but maybe, less old parchment style..... (took it from the schematic guide i've posted in pg1)

What do you guys think?

[natty dread]

Yes! That's great! Use them.

Dwarves Gateway can attack the adjacent territory too, it should be reflected in the schematics.

[natty dread]

Yes, a two way arrow next to the gateway would make it ultra-clear to anyone.

[Kabanellas]

Guys, 2 arrows pointing each way:
(poor map, I'm done with changes)

I first peeked in at this map a while ago and was a little confused the dwarvish territories, but I see you have thrashed it out over the past few pages. The schematic is an excellent solution. Might I suggest that the red text by the dots read "underground passage" rather than "underground passways". I don't think "passways" is even a word, but if it is, it is much less common than "passage" in this context.
If anyone still has a problem with the one way attack from the stronghold, you could put a single red arrow pointing out, to mirror the double-headed arrow of the gateway. Then all the dwarvish warpaths would be bathed in blood, so to speak.

yes to both !

[natty dread]

Btw, you should be submitting the XML for the XML check in the appropriate thread (stickied on this forum).

[Kabanellas]

Thanks for reminding me Natty! I'll do that.

'Underground Pass' works equally well - it takes up less room too, so wouldn't look so squeezed in.

In other news...

[Kabanellas]

Great!!!!! Thanks!!

Eager to see it 'Betafied'

[fumandomuerte]

Another great addition to the CC offer!
Congrats. Kabanellas, this map is awesome.

[Kabanellas]

Thanks a lot muerte!

[ViperOverLord]

Color! Where's the color? Boring Design.

[Kabanellas]

Luckily for you, CC has such a wide variety of other, more colorful and certainly less boring maps for you to choose!

[MrBenn]

Great!!!!! Thanks!!
