Conquer Club

Ok, just Madrid and Lisboa would be fine to me too
Although looks like people didnt like the idea too much

put army number circle in you map to se how look.

i will once i get enough votes in for the city bonuses

There are still some wrong names:

Navarre is Navarra
Seville is Sevilla
Cárceres is Cáceres
and
Valenciana is Valencia

I really would like to play this map.
Good job.

Just the other day I was saying that I wanted a map of Iberia--and here it is!

Indeed, if you're going to have most of the territories listed under their non-anglicized names, Sevilla and Navarra need to be as well.

Also, I don't really like any of the textures (maybe they're too bold and too uniform) and the contrast between the bright oceans and the dark continents is quite unpleasant.

EDIT: Speaking of non-anglicized names, what about non-hispanicized names? Maybe Viscaya should be Bizkaia?

I've resumed work on this map (dont worry arctic is still my priority, and for those who missed it i have put the picture with armies). Ive put a gradiant on the ocean, brightened it up, changed those anglicized names, added army shadows, changed the bridges, changed font, and removed important cities. I have also changed some of the moutains, check at the bottom of the mao. I didnt want to put more moutains in case they dont look right.

The army shadows look awkward in some colors like the purple.

Okay I think these things need to be improved:

1. Fonts - not very legible
2. Army Shadows - they make the map ugly. Try some transparent ones.
3. Changes graphics for mountains and bridges, make them more realistic and try to give them a 3D effect.

Good luck!

I would....

-add a stronger texture to the water (with a darker texture)
-dark fonts on a dark background are bad i think, either lighten the continents and keep the font, or give the font some sort of border or shadow to distinguish it.
-I would change the font from the 'cursive' type font to a more straight forward one, its kinda hard to read because its so small (has to be because of space)
-drop shadows on legend
-make the walls stand out more
-give the rivers some texture
-lighten your army circles

just some quick ideas... good look though

Go with like 75 transparency on the shadows.

i can't read the font (on the land) and could you make a sort of background to the legend my eayes hurt when i am trying to read it

Could You add Ibiza?

its castelo branco , not castle branco .

Woah i was in the middle of makeing a spain map! u got there 1st...good job but u have 2 add the islands to the left of valencea- ibiza!

im not 100% sure but i think iberia refers to mailand spain and portugal, so I dont think i could add any islands. And i will fix the misspelled name.

You're correct its just the peninsula itself.

Ok, heres the next update; many graphical change. Testing new mountains at the bottom of the map, like last time. I've also merged coimbra and viseu in portugal, because it still looked crowded.

i like the new mountains...u need better rivers

bump (I would like a few more comments before i get to work on the next version)

The mountains are OK but the other impassables probably need to be improved. Textures maybe need toning down a bit? Looking good though!

it looks very crowdy, and the river are somewhat ugly though the mountains are very nice

I think its the overbearing texture which makes it seem crowded.

I've toned down the land textures a bit, replaced all the mountains and trying out new gradiant rivers. The new large mountains also made portugal look even more crowded, so I merged Castelo Branco and Guarda, and reduced the bonus to 4.

already thought about a bonus for having whole portugal or whole spain?
