I'm totally against any and all supersize maps.
I want to play a game, not spend my time scrolling up and down. If demonstrating my dexterity with the wheel mouse was my goal, I would go to scrollupanddown dot com, not conquerclub dot com.
CC does not need more nightmares like the Hive, Antarctica, and First Nations Americas. We need more nice, neat, compact maps like Europe 1914 that fit on one screen and are fun to play.
Thank you.

As for the capitals auto, it would seem to me that in adjacent and chained reinforcements, these extra troops are going to be ignored. I cannot imagine this map taking less than 15/20 rounds to play, so a lot of troops are going to build up and become road blocks. This would stagnate the game for even more rounds. Why not a bonus of +1 for every 3 while keeping them starting neutral.
Background is better still.

Western is yellow, Rocky Mountains is blue, New England is...what? A conglomeration of pinks, greys, browns and greens? In WidowMaker's map, New England was light blue. I think you should strive for that.

I like the flag in the background but can you make it a bit more prominent? I guess you've already tried that though .
Keep the name Mega USA! Not only does it fit the map very well, it also gives you a pretty good name to build on in case you'd like to make a follow up. Say for example Mega China, or Mega India. I'd love to play Mega India!! We don't have enough maps of India!

If you're talking about taking the gaps out, then so far others want it to remain as it is.Gillipig wrote:The interstate lines look better now. These I like: Road 5, 10, 15, 25, 35, 40, 75, 80, 90, 95. These needs a little tweaking because they hurt the eye a bit: Road 20, 55, 70, 94.

I am working on these as we speak.

I understood that, just joking a bit I guess. I just saw that the colour of the interstates on the map doesn't match the colour they have in the legend.

Others? Who are these others, because I haven't seen anyone expressly wishing that the gaps stay in the map...?
The Bison King wrote:I have pretty much agreed with every point Natty's been making. I think the gaps make the map nightmarishly convoluted to look at. Yeah you've got the the whole New England Issue but there are other solutions to that problem that are worth exploring. Namely an inset, I don't remember the specific reason you dismissed that before but I'm pretty sure that you could use a simple inset to your benefit here.. Also the states just need to look better. period. There's no good justification for having them look like bizarre ill=proportioned blobs instead of what they actually look like.
An inset won't work because where would I put it? With the mini-map there is no room.

It's a good way to clarify where bonuses are.
