Conquer Club

Congrats guys, i'm so happy you maintained a few of the adjustments i suggested. You guys have really carried this map to greatness, all you needed was a little push in the right direction and you've turned this map into a very nice CC worthy map.

You should both be very proud NemesisChild and Premier2k

Grats guys, well deserved!

Final Forge

---The Atlantis Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. The map has passed rigorous gameplay and graphics examinations, and major concerns have been addressed. If you have any other concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. As long as there is still discussion or posts that have yet to be commented on, the map will remain in Final Forge until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

Congrats on FF guys. Great work.

Woo hoo!!
Final forge! what lovely Decor it has in here, I especially like that FF Stamp
Prem is still working on the XML & tests and will have the results to post ASAP

Looks like an amazing map. Can't wait to test it! Great job guys.

Ooh!! wow, just realised we have been at this for a year now!! (as of Dec 2nd)
Prem is still polishing up the XML, we are both ridiculously busy at work at the moment but it is coming, honestly it is!!

Look forward to it.


--Andy

To echo Nemesischild's comments, the XML really is coming I promise. I have been so busy at work just lately and working late that by the time I get home I'm eating dinner and going straight to bed. I'm going to endeavour to finish it this weekend and get it posted up along with the army circle checks as well.

Thanks again to everyone who has supported this map, a year on since we started this it's been a long journey but we're hopefully approaching the end and possibly looking towards designing our next map. We have a few ideas in the pipeline

Again, sorry for the delay on this, it is coming....

Watch this space.....

Looks great! Well Done....

The long awaited army circle has been done. Images below!
The XML is now being submitted for checking!

Having a little free time, I would like to question the following coordinates:

on large map: Delta, Zeta, Cronus, Heron might look better 1 pixel to the right;

on small map: Sciron might look better 1 pixel to the right

If you find they look just as bad with the moves, then don't sweat it.

Well spotted Ender, I'll make those couple of changes tommorow!

ok, correct me if this is supposed to be this way, but the version of the large map I'm seeing has the title cut off. This also cuts off the upper two (and most of the third) items in the legend. Since I play almost entirely on large versions, that's a bit of an issue for me. As all three versions of the large map that I can see on this page are lacking the title and half the legend, I went back in the pages and found the last version to be posted, which had title and legend on the large map. Anybody know what's going on here?

Well, it's not just you. Now that you mention it, that is what I'm seeing as well. I hope it is just a matter of the test pages being clipped to save space.

Ok guys
you can relax, I can absoloutely assure you that the clipping of the map that you are seeing is because the images are screen shots that have been trimmed!
I really don't think we would have snuck into the Final forge with a map that was clipped that badly (or at all)

Prem has had some response to the XML review post so XML fixes will be coming soon, He is unfortunately busy with work again as am I.

M.

New XML modification done!
Please note that the large version is deliberatley cropped.

You're going to hate me, but I think I found some more off-centre, some (all?) of which I should have seen on my first swoop. (I need something else to do. With most of the Foundry closed, I'm twiddling my thumbs. I doubt any of these or any of the previous ones would have really bothered me once the map was in play, but I know there are fussbudgets out there who would moan, so I'm just beating them to it. At least this way, I know that the complaints will be presented respectfully.)

Small map:
move down 1: Myron, Notus, Nessus, Nu, Erus, Phokas, Hero
move up 1: Echo

Large map:
move right 1: Samuelon
move down 1: Boreas, Styx, Nu, Acacius

I will resist the temptation to check any further after this. Wouldn't it be a lovely Christmas present to get this map into Beta?

lol, keep them coming Ender! We want this to be perfect! We don't hate you
I'll make the adjustments tommorow morning and upload in the afternoon.

Theta looks like it needs to moved 1 to the left on the small. Eta may need to be moved 1 down. Can't really tell, but Hero and rowlandesia may need to be moved down 1. Heron down one. Myron down one. All I can see for the small.
Large the very exact center needs to be moved down one, as well as possibly styx, and iota. The lightning thing and A need also be moved down, possibly also one to the left or right for both.

Using this link:

I know this is a pain - could you post images with 88s on instead of 10s.
