Asia Map: Areas

Post by tals »

Unless you know Asia then it's pretty impossible to know what the areas the bonus points are referring to. Apologies if this forum is only for new maps

p.s would it make sense to have a stickied post listing all the maps that have been quenched - with links to the map topic. That way any issue with the map could be posted easily to the relevant map.

ImageChildren, this is what happens to hockey players, druggies, and Hillary Clinton.

*takes a look at the asia map to make sure*

I'm glad you do - but your post made me take a look at it again and some areas are not clear at all - sure I can tell taking an area will get me a bonus, but which one. It's one of the few maps whose index is not colour coded.

I took a look at it now...

I agree that it should be color coded, but there isn't that much trouble finding the correct one.

Ok Russia = Irkutsk - wasn't aware that Iran was in Russia - maybe the Iranians may have an issue with that.

India = Afghanistan, scary :)

Sian - whatever Sian is = Thailand

China = Tibet

Japan - N.Korea

Oceania = Borneo

So yes it can be worked out but its not obvious. After some of the hoops that the maps have to go through to get through the foundry i'm amazed this one did. It is a good map though!

I think the map needs a better legend, instead of the imense space wasted with that dragon. And please, lets rename the map in "join a game" and "start your game" pages to Far East. Its the real title of the map.
