Looks like the compression was the problem, not the map! The map seems to pop with zest now (sounds delicious, doesn't it?).

As for the dead zone, is it really serving any purpose (also it looks strange without any texture. The water also kind of does...)?

Also, is there some other way you can make the dashed attack routes...hm, fit with the map more? Right now, the black dashed lines seem out of place.

But I like the way the map is looking overall.

Do you have any suggestion from other maps? I would be glad to change it to fit the map.

For one thing I'd make the dashes actually touch the islands in the sea.

I think the colours of this map would be too light (even with the shadows) with the new pink and orange. It will be distracting.

Couldn't you come up with some more interesting names for the continents than East, West, Central etc. Texas?

Back in the days of the early Foundry, I always use to harp about 'Directional' named continents. But on this map they might serve a purpose in easily locating the area on the map. Though if there are some more unique names, I'd be interested to see what you can come up with.

It looks way better, rg. Thanks for taking the time to address my concerns. :D


I put it there due to that both the Hill Country and Central Teaxs were going to be the same bonus points. I needed a way to take the point down. So this was my resolve.

              Final Forge


---The Texan Wars Map has reached the ā€˜Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry Furnace (okay, maybe not) and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current 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.

Central Texas + 6
The Gulf + 5
East Texas + 3
Indian Territory + 3
Mexican Army + 4
Lone Star +1
Wagon Wheel + 2

Dead Zone -0 (I put it in to make central Texas have less points. It had the same as the Hill country, but it also adds a twist in the came.)

Cannon: You can only attack by arrows or cannon to cannon. That's the Idea any way?

Does the Map have to be 630x600 or just around it? Same goes with the larger map.

It can be 630x600, but the mods might prefer less, unless you can show them a good reason for needing the space. I think max for the large is 840x800.

My Board will be 600x637 and the large around 800x854.
I will try to get it down!

Try moving the text "Oklahoma" up so it is equal distance from the northern and southern borders of the state.

I like the legend in the 2nd post on this page more then the one posted before my post and i think the water colour must be lighter blue, for the rest it is a super map!
