[Abandoned] - Croatia

[ivoK]

map of Croatia

[Lt.Mustard]

looks like an interesting possibility. obviously a lot of graphics clean up will be needed, and the gameplay looks a little linear, although the sea routes do help. keep working on it, ivoK, and i think it could be a good map!

[perchorin]

I like this idea, seems to have some good gameplay possibilities, keep working on it please!

I think you need to start again, ged rid of the straight borders between countries, i just wikied and found this map:



from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Croatia

You can use that map as a starting point. Also the picture in the background, is different to say the least, a person swimming in a lake, isn't theyre anything more croatian you could come up with?

[Balsiefen]

mabye add ports like philipines

Also you could add other countries in gray

better idea i don't like your borders

[ivoK]

this is an extreme rough map. i mean, my gosh i threw it together in paint. im just wondering if there's an idea to be had. can anyone recommend a program for imaging? i know of the list on this forum but no one is really listed as better than another. what does everyone use here?
i tried unstraight borders and it just turned messy, but im working on one again.

Use the map above, get rid of all the colour and you will have the not straight borders without having to create them yourself.

Croatia isn't a very risk map friendly country, its too narrow and long, which you have attempted to fix using the far joining lines. Maybe you should make a map of the baltics, there has already been an attempt at that, and playability wise that was the map i was most looking forward to playing, it became abandoned when everyone started arguing about how big croatia should be, how big serbia should be and who was really the most evil.

word ur looking for is balkans. baltics is estonia, lithuania, and the others. i agree that croatia is not risk friendly because of its shape. ive tried several maps and came up with this. i can tell you who's evil but i dont wanna start up sh*t!

I suppose I haven't played enough of the maps to really relate. Good I guess.

[ivoK]

new version at the top

[Dlakavi]

with your new update the map isn't the Croatia map any more.

But i think you have 2 options:


OK, this map resembles Indochina map.

or you can have this:



this would resemble the Ireland map.

Of course, the country lines would have to be adjusted

[ivoK]

obviously it's not croatia anymore, but i added bosna hercegovina to get rid of the linear gameplay

[gavin_sidhu]

MOst ppl find it easier if you post the latest map in a new post. I thought Bosnia and Herzegovina was usually split into sprska and bosnia herzegovnia.

Heres the thread for the other attempt at the map:

RP is a political entity, not a recognized country or anything. krajina doesn't exist either.

another version

bad graphics

[ivoK]

of course the graphics are bad, especially the blue routes

[Guiscard]

What program are you using? I'd advise you to go back to the original map, trace the borders again, colour them nicely... Make it neat and simple then we can start commenting properly.

no the borders and hills etc. are more worse
