Qwert this map has seen a 200% imporvement since I last commented. New shadows, cleaned up legend... all brilliant changes which really make it look much smarter. Good work.

I'm still not ridiculously fond of the title... looks a tad 'word-art' for me. Maybe experiment with some different lettering / try it without the gradient?

Also I agree that 'hold All 3 stars' would be clearer as well.

Apart from that i can't find fault so good work! Can't wait to play it.

From way back in page 17:

i like the idea of this map but it seems to cluttered. maybe changing the font would help, and getting rid of all the font shadows? is it possible to move the entire legend up some? maybe also the bonus icons (the helmets, etc) could be smaller. with a different font you could make the legend more compact, but still readable.

just a thought, i dont know if it would work, but maybe you could switch the font of the title and the font of the names. a title can affort more frills because it is larger.

another issue, the leeb army and brock army seem very close in colour. maybe tweak the colours, or at least not have them right next to each other. maybe switch the colours of bock and stalingrad?

the flag backgrounds are really cool, imo the best part of this map. but because they are very eyecatching and busy i think it is necessary to tone the rest of the map way down, for balance.
Do you need an excuse to have a war? I mean, who for? Can't you just say "You got lots of cash and land, but I've got a big sword, so divy up right now, chop chop."

Enigma>If i understand you can read what write in a map,and you ask of me to:
1.Change font
2.erase all font shadow
3.put helmets smaler
4.sviching colors of terittory


here my answer
1.Changing font becouse you can read,these not sence,last change will show that people satisfy whit these text font.
2.i got 2 version,1 with text shadow an second with no shadow,people may see who its best
3.Helmets it in good size and dont be good if i put hem smaler
4.Diference these colors its huge and good balance, that nobody can mix these 2 colors.

Guiscard i think first to finish with text colors problem,then i will experiment with title,maybe you can give some advice for title font and colors.

people give you sugestion for legend word for bonuses 2 stars, then i will put 3 or 4 yours sugestion in vote, and let players decide, i think that best solution.

There's no need to put everything to vote. You took on the text issue again on your own and came up with an acceptable solution. Just choose one of the one's suggested for the star bonus and go with it.

Qwert, why not take the fact that three or four people have said it needs to be changed (and NO people have said it should stay the same) as a general consensus that that option is the correct one? It doesn't need a vote. You do have the power to make a decision, based on the advice of others, without going to vote every time. You managed it with the colour of the text so why not just changed the bonus wording?

He cant do that with the star issue because I suggested it and he is ignoring anything I suggest.

You could combine them to say: "Hold all red star territories for a three army bonus"

Qwert this is a question where you need to use your map makers perogative and decide by yourself.

I think it shoul be Hold all three stars (3)

or Hold all three red stars (3)

(the 3 is the the number on the star next to it in case it was confusing)

But its really your decision.

just make a choice and state a good reason don't put it to vote.

LOL. I'd like to see that fit! :lol:

I don't think it matters, just not red or blue. You want to try and keep it concise, and my option is shortest. So my or Teya's option would be the best bet I reckon.

'Hold all red stars' (3)

I dont think it matters if you say red stars or just stars. There are no other stars on the map so they arent going to be confused with anything.

LOL. I don't think it really matters, but Teya makes a good point. The stars are all red anyway, so there's point specifying.

How about "Hold All Stars". :?:
