but you need to liven up the landscape. maybe add some plants (bushes trees, etc) also you can add some stone roads.

I like the added trees...

As I said before - at the top left of the lake - and in the middle at the bottom - would make each resource equivdistant from the 3 nearest castles.

This looks like the map from the old Avalon Hill game "Legends of Robin Hood" :shock: Great idea.

I think that the camp should go on the island in the middle, i think it should be made up of lots of tents.
Could you add some mountains somewhere, maybe central north, i think you should put the mine up there.

mountains are a no no. With the scale of the its no big enuff to add mountains plus there are no needed becasue gameplay doesnt need to be broke up.

And one of the castles are going to to on the center island so on to the camp there. its gonig on teh terr down south with all teh trees

i think that this is what the camp should look like (but not on the island)
then you have to control all the territories with the tents to hold the camp:

might want to change the colour so it does not look like a circus

maybe but the mine into a quarry looking thing then, instead of mountains.

the tents are to large. Im liking the quarry idea but unsure about its size thought.

and you really need to read teh 1st post. that explains that the merc camp only give a bonus if its owned with the gold mine.

However im grateful for your enthusiasim and feedback thanxs ;)

considering the sizes of the houses, i think you could easily make the tents bigger, i dont think that a bit of light in a clearing looks too clear. i think you make your tents the same size as the northern-most building in the southern village (the small square one), maybe have one big fire in the middle to make it more clear.

(i dont what you think about this but you could add some symbols to the map, i will post a example of symbol and what i think the quarry should look like in a minute, need to make some first.

interesting idea for a map, my only suggestion would be to redraw over the borders, they look very unnatural. it's hard to elaborate on what I mean, but the borders look weird (not the lines itself, but the borders)

here is my idea for symbols on the map shown in picture from for example the symbol for a castle, and the symbol for the camp:

Could not do the quarry could not get it to look right, im sure you can make one anyway.

no symbols. [-X

he's trying hard to make a realistic landscape, there's no point in spoiling it with symbols. :wink:

ok one other thing,

what are you planning to do about your castles, are you going to make them all the same? make some just keeps, some neo-gothic, some motte and bailly?

if i have time i might show you how i think different castles should look.
(if you are unlucky i will)

the trees are nice.
the merc camp is not that good.


i mean a merc camp would either have tents (nomad mercs) or it would be a small wooden fortress in the middle of a forest.

i'd peronally prefer the wooden fortress. make a round wooden wall with a big fire in middle and some huts around the fire.
