Like people say you can see in vote-England:Serbia 40:10 the game is finis and its over.England go to final.
2.I will not change area and arrows.
3.all names wil be same size.
4.bonus problem: you look only 1 map and i look more map and i think is every map got diferent bonuses for example
.america
territory west 4 country 3 borders 2 bonus-teritory new england country 4 borders 1 bonus 2
germany
teritory prussia 6 country 2 borders 3 bonus, territory rheinland 5 country 3 borders 3 bonus.You see every map not have similar bonuses its diferent and strange but these bonuses its fine with me.
If you want more strange map bonuses just tell i will write and show.
5.Compas-i like these look.

Now, i love a new map just as much as the next guy, but you dont need to rush through important development stages to make the map. People are trying to give you helpful suggestions and you are turning them down just so you can put up the map. Slow down and let people tell you how to improve the map.

Personally i do not like the compass. It looks dumb.

I dont mind the compass, and the map looks great. The only problem i have is the yellow font is a bit hard to read in a few territories of the grey continent.

I recommend you put some sort of white shadow/bevel/emboss behind the black, and a black one behind the yellow.



I like the compass its got that hardass commie feel.

i do like the compass but i think it complicates the map. Does it have to have a compass?? if so then this is a good compass but i think the empty space will be valuable. The compass could be used in a different map but there are too many logos and things to have a compass aswell. Just my opinion.

Also the graphic of stones on the kursk border looks slightly clumsy but nothing major. Cant wait to play this map though looks great.

The thick black lines between continents are misleading. At first they look like impassable borders, and it takes a little while to realize that they aren't. Where there are normal attack boundaries between continents, I think you should decrease the thickness of the lines to the level of the lines between countries within continents.

If I were you I woudn't bother with the uniformity of how theres a black line as the reg border for EVERY continent it'd be hard to get it confused.

That looks much better, at least in my opinion. Also, eventually you'll want to do a small Gausian Blur (if you are using Photoshop) to get rid of the jagged look of the border lines between countries. It can wait a little while, probably, but figured I'd give ya a heads up.

The compass is decent, but I also agree with those who are saying it should be changed. To what, I don't know, but I'm sure you can find a good image or idea.

I also agree with the people who have been saying that within the legend, the army names should/could be in whichever language, while keeping the country names in english.

As for the font color, one of the easiest things to do to increase legibility is to make the font white or black, and then give it a stroke of the other color, allowing it to 'pop' out a little bit.

What I mean is the Army Group North stuff, the legend. I think andy and marv have been saying to put that back to whatever language it was in, but to keep the general language as English.

I think the mountain look kind of prehistoric. Couldnt you put some in that look more modern. something that looks more like a mountain instead of just rocks. You dont need to keep it, i just want to see the difference.

I think you aren't quite understanding everything fully. We'd like to see the Legend with unique names...perhaps in each respective language. Keep the rest of the map, in English.

Also, regarding Sargentgeneral, look into other possibilities of mountains. Unless you've got a great reason to keep them the way they are. And if you do, then that's fine. But don't just ignore people.

Marvadin im interesting, what text font you use in yours Brazil map?

Well, its not even in final forge stage, but looks like qwert is ready to quench it by himself :lol:

In legend I used Comic Suns (I love this font, although some would call me retarded for that). For names of countries, well... I dont remember, but I can suggest some:
Palatine Linotype, Monotype Corsiva, Bookman Oldstyle, Trebuchet MS, Century Gothic (I usually use these bold italic, or just italic)

Hey, qwert, where is your open mind, guy? :wink: Whats the problem in adjust some minor areas of borders (without change playability) just to make the names fit better?

About the bonuses thing, the correct would be take one map as example like I did. Some maps have most bonuses a bit low, or a bit high, so usually bonuses compensate each other... But your bonuses are really high, friend. Compare your Russian center to the others few continents in all maps that have 8 as bonus and you will see that... I dont want disturb him, can someone else post about it???

About the legend, please dont use the Russian alphabet if you are going change names :)
