Bumps aren't helpful unless you have an update to go with it, keep that in mind.

Hopefully you don't take this the wrong way. We need to see something that looks like a draft again. A map if you will. Anyone can come here and post images.

39 Territories
7 Continents
Bombardments

Are those images copyrighted?

Also, as Coleman said, you'll need to actually create a map...and not just draw on a photo.

That aside, I prefer the first option in a general sense.

ok there is one vote for Terraformed

Coleman · Post by **Coleman** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 1:15 am

Total Votes : 13

the photo that u drew on is way easier to read and i think that u should use that one.

I think you should do the other just one thing, that doesn't look like Mars at all, what is it?

He means MS Paint is a bad program to make a map with.

Using Gimp

Well I would go with the first "continent style" map, because you have permission to use the image. However, I would take that, and trace the borders into a graphics program, preferably photoshop. Let me/us know what software you are using to create your map, and we can offer graphic help then. right now, it looks like mspaint.

It looks like you've put some work into attack routes and territory names, but just looking at the map (without really focusing and studying it) it looks like a blur to me. Is there any basis to your bonus region designations? Or did you just pick them for gameplay?

I think the splatter colors behind the names may be taking away from the map itself. It may be too distracting.

And 60 territories is a lot. It's workable, but I would suggest maybe changing your fonts and bring them down in point size.

Let me know what software you use and I'll see if I can offer some help.

I am using GIMP, it is also my first map so it is a new experience for me and any help would be grand.

RjBeals · Post by **RjBeals** » Sat Jan 05, 2008 10:13 pm

what are you thoughts on photoshop? I don't know anything about gimp. Never used it.

Also - how good are you in general with software?

What option do you think is better?
