does the site have a separate legend section yet? imagine how cool this map would be if you could use the whole 800x800 or whatever on the map itself.


If at some point you can post just the main image (no text, symbols, borders) that would be very cool to see. not sure if that's your ...

I like the unique bonus system.

For Latvia, I think currently while being in the middle is tough, +3 for 3 seems a bit high. That's where everyone is going to focus. Get a nice drop there and you're in control.

I might drop Estonia to +2 for every 4, Latvia to +2 for every 3, and Lithuania as +1 ...

He did, and is getting a medal for it…

that's news to me. We all know he did a Graphics revamp. I'm guessing you just skimmed the post?

I went with I

F is 630x600 - no need to be full size here
F has colours that fit the German flag. I has colours that hark back to the original Germany map (I think). push.

so am I understanding correctly that one can receive idea and gameplay stamps and have very basic graphics?

seems like a good idea to me. get the gameplay done and have the graphiciticians work do their job without gameplay updates.

also good in that I can get the gameplay done and turn it over to ...

How does removing a map benefit anyone? If you don't want to play a map then don't play it.

If a map maker put hours and hours of work into a map and saw it "relegated" then you've removed incentive for them to keep working on maps. Cairnswk has made a ton of maps. I'll guess 30 or so. A lot of his ...

no thoughts on the idea to make sure all the army circles are the same in terms of brightness/colour?

It doesn't matter what's underneath as there's always going to be army numbers over them

Mr. Benn is talking about moving army circles and the physical location of borders.

People think you are saying changing the actual gameplay (eg: you make Berlin and Dresden connect when currently they do not)

I'm unsure as to what you mean. What I mean is, there are impassable mountains where ...

I noticed Land and Sea is not on that list. I edited my post where I wrote descriptions for my other maps and have made one for Land and Sea too.

Eastern Hemisphere for me as well I think...but Greenland, Indian Empire, and Gilgamesh I enjoyed as well.

So I suppose, my favorite cartographer of 2009 would have to be Oaktown as well. His maps most always top my ...

I've always said that I think the large OR small thing is a bad idea. when you're doing mass votes from the public, you want them to be as close as possible. Either require both (seems like a lot of work). Or, require one or the other. I'd go with the small map since we've been told on numerous ...

okay... here's a list of tiny details if you want to bother with making some tweeks...

does the large map have to be so big?

840 is the max

800x433 is art
750x400 is shapes

I want to say original was even slimmer than 750


it really just doesn't need to be this big. the max really should only be used when necessary.

ed has done some cartography, but I'm not sure what the special contribution was.

You're thinking of edbeard. edthemaster created clickies, for which he should receive an annual stipend and a weekend with the finest hooker in vegas.

Right you are! edthemaster deserves multiple special ...

single player team games (one person controls a whole team) would actually cause me to come back and play some games. other than that. meh.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but "Arctic" is misspelled "Artic" on the map depicting the bonuses. Despite that, I do believe I will try this map soon. It looks sharp and well thought out.

thanks for the post and pointing that out. actually, it is correct on the uploaded map but I've just ...

I'm fine with the map as is but shouldn't the map have come out of Beta after gimil's proposed changes? like I said don't matter to me but seems strange

So it's like WM's excel thingy but in GUI? Sounds good. Maybe a little better looking at some of the options that you're proposing.

If you can combine this with MapAssist (jota's) and the 88 cursor thing (mr. benn's showed this I think). Then you've put everything we need into one spot.

Those ...

I sometimes get the following problems...

a. BOB gets "stuck" on statistics tables
b. deploy, attack, fortify buttons don't work

it only affects the game at the top of my page. when I come home and take a few turns, only the first game I play is affected.

I run firefox 3 and I use ABP (Adblock ...

I don't think there's any problem with the arrows at the moment. People just aren't reading which we can't do anything about. It's been made more than clear with both words and visuals.

I just played this map for the first time. 3 game series on it. I won 2-1 due to dice in a 1 vs 1, but both players made many mistakes thinking that each area touching the water could attack it

to me, that's a not reading the legend issue. we can't do anything about that. I think we've put ...

Possibly fix the borders for ocean parts that touch land territories that they can't attack (example: IN2 and EU7.)

Their touching is unnecessary and confusing. Change the borders a bit, and for certain other instances (AT5/AT7/AF5 border, etc. etc.)

Other than stuff like that, good map. Maybe ...
