[Official] Middle East REVAMP [Quenched]

[t.e.c]

its being done to replace the middle east map

[edbeard]

KEYOGI, when this is finished, will it replace the old Middle East map or will there be two ones?

just one. the point of a revamp is to upgrade a map with poor graphics.

[hulmey]

So extra extra care has too be taken that this map is going to serve the community More than the one that is already there!

[Wisse]

what do you think if everyone think as you do, you get 500times the same things that you already solved...

If 500 people'd think so, don't you think they might have a point?

i meant if 500 people thinks they can scre around ideas without reading anything it would be messy

you are mentally retarded...why would we have 2 of the same map?

[Jafnhár]

KEYOGI, when this is finished, will it replace the old Middle East map or will there be two ones?

you are mentally retarded...why would we have 2 of the same map?

What the hell is wrong with you? How do you dare calling my mentally retarded, what did I do to you fucker? This map is not like the other map in gameplay, just look at it moron (mountains for one) it's just the same zone. Perhaps KEYOGI didn't want to remove the other map in respect for that map maker, what do I know, I just asked one question you little arrogant bastard.

first of all, watch your fuckin language. second of all, when you said "This map is not like the other map in gameplay, just look at it moron (mountains for one) it's just the same zone. " I compared them and they are exactly the same this one just looks better moron.

</map>

yeah posting the xml is annoy as hell.

[Coleman]

KEYOGI, when this is finished, will it replace the old Middle East map or will there be two ones?

you are mentally retarded...why would we have 2 of the same map?

What the hell is wrong with you? How do you dare calling my mentally retarded, what did I do to you fucker? This map is not like the other map in gameplay, just look at it moron (mountains for one) it's just the same zone. Perhaps KEYOGI didn't want to remove the other map in respect for that map maker, what do I know, I just asked one question you little arrogant bastard.

first of all, watch your fuckin language. second of all, when you said "This map is not like the other map in gameplay, just look at it moron (mountains for one) it's just the same zone. " I compared them and they are exactly the same this one just looks better moron.

Okay you two, lets fight. Game: 397399

Yeah guys, keep the colourful language in the battlefield and out of the foundry.

Thanks for that mibi, very helpful post.

I'll join this game as soon as I finish one of my other four games.

And hey, you started using that language yourself ParadiceCity9, no "watch your fucking language" to me! I don't have to do anything else than to look at your miserable feedback to see how your tone of voice is normally.

[Zorg_rsk]

The map looks pretty good, and I like it alot more than the old map.

Just a few graphical requests:

1. Could you make either the contient colours slightly more differnt/or make the contienent border edges more defined, its slightly hard to see them as it is.

2. Could you add circles around the army numbers in each terrtiroy, numbers on their own look bad.

thanks.

lmfao....man good comeback now gfy

o...and are you too poor to buy premium? its $20 a year and you have a computer you've obviously got SOME money...

1. I've been backwards and forwards with the colour issue. Some think it's fine, some think it still needs work, I can't decide!

2. There's not enough room for army shadows on the map and I don't really feel they're needed anyway.

the colors would be an issue if the continents were not labeled. which they are, so it's only an issue for those who cant read.

[edbeard]

I totally agree on the colours, they are fine, and in fact I love them.

In regards to army circles, I believe they are mainly used to make sure one can see number of armies easily. On this map, that is not a problem. In fact, I think the look it gives the map is great.

[hulmey]

Who gave this Final Forge status??? Cant find it anywhere...

There are issues about telling the difference between the continents that at least5 or 6 peopl have brought up....

Maybe you could make the continent border's thicker by 1 or something??

also i think you need to make Istanbul seem like its joined to the rest of the map...

Could you get back to me on this Keyogi???

[KEYOGI]

Andy did, but now I can't find his post.

Already been done.

Already been done.

Could you get back to me on this Keyogi???

Already been done and ignored the last time...

I still think you need to work on ISTANBUl abit more...Maybe make the river abit smaller and the land more visablly touching with the adjacent Land...

Ive already asked about it and you didnt Reply Keyogi.

This is your first response since I fixed Istanbul.

[hulmey]

^^ it will replace the original map!!!

Sorry keyogi i didnt realise u had got back to me....

I think you could still increase the border thickness a little more or make them stand out a little more...

Final Forge

---The Middle East REVAMP has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry furnace and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. There will be at least two days (but may extend pass that) for you to post any objections; if no one has posted any protest after two days the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. If after two days there is still discussion going on it may continue until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.


--Andy

I found the Final Forge post back on page 31. I thought it was more recent than that.

I think you could still increase the border thickness a little more or make them stand out a little more...

The following are from p25 (original 1px borders and then thicker 2px borders):





The current borders are the same thickness as those in the second image, except they have been toned down in colour. If you make the continent borders too prominent things get ugly.

Hulmey, do you dont understand that these revamp work Asistant of Andy and there is no chance that these map be refused to quenched in fast way, but all others map must be worked 5-6 month, but when you also get these status,then yours map also be finish in extra fast time.

I've been working on this Revamp for two and a half months, so don't start qwert. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Qwert you complain about personal vendetta in your own map but then bring your own silly squabbles into other peoples. That's both hypocritical and immature. I thought you were staying out of this forum for good?

As for the map, Keyogi, I can't fault it. I think the thicker borders should resolve any remaining problems with defining continents. I actually think it looks better now, as well, because the extra thickness defines the coastlines better and compliments the really nice drop-shadow you have. Good work.
