WWII Pearl Harbor - [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

yes that's much better. You have a lot going on already, which is fine.

I don't think you need to add to it by having different coloured lines and drastically different styles on the lines.

All the attack lines work the same anyway, so have them look the same. I realize you have squares and circles for ship to ship and ship to aircraft respectively, and I think that is fine. Slightly different, but nothing distracting.

Edbeard...i've just posted V21b for the attack lines....dbl red tracer style bullets from the planes->ships, and straight light blue for the ship->ships.
this works for me. gives more definition to the ship defense lines and makes it very clear which are the aircraft attack lines.
What do you think?

[edbeard]

the water paths are fine

But, I really don't like the aircraft attack lines at all. Note sure if it's the colour, the style, or the combination of the two


I still greatly prefer the earlier version with all white

MMmmmm...OK thanks for that - appreciate your reply.

OK....below is a version of round dots like you prefer in yellow....
the challenge i'm having now is that with the round dots, everytime i look at different colours all i can think of is "carnival lights"

[edbeard]

yea I still can't get over the different colours.

I'm totally sold that they should be the same no matter if they are ship to ship or ship to airplane

as for the style, I prefer the dots and squares, but the lines seem to work well too.

What about this one in all light blue...solid ship-ship.....tracers planes-ship

[edbeard]

yea it's definitely the style I don't like (though I wasn't fond of the red colour either)


I think the best thing is for you to find 3 or 4 that you like and post em up. And, then just have everyone vote on 'em.

Ok looks good and its less complicated now and easier to see who can attack you and where from.

Can ALL the shaips attack the aeroplanes back?

Also the ships in the dock can they attack each other because their are no lines?

yes i agree hulmey.

Can ALL the shaips attack the aeroplanes back?

yes...these are all two way attack routes from ships to planes....the only ones that i just realised might not be two way are the two Vals that are attacking the PP Hangers and Runway C, although I guess both of these would have had some sort of guns to fire back ineffectively at those two Vals.

Also the ships in the dock can they attack each other because their are no lines?

OK....that is something i hadn't thought of....good point.
I've just added some attack lines to those ships...i don't think it clutters that area too much

What do you think of V22 below?

[onbekende]

This one is made of WIN

Yeh thanks gimil....all those have been treated in exactly the same manner...i would say it has to do with the colour on the background and and the font used.

[gimil]

it think its to do with the lack of a black outline in those ones. I noticed teh diffrence between those one and vals, which has a darker outline.

Gimil....I have re-worked the entire bonus list and now they all have the very same emboss.

Also started to tidy up the "destructions"...may not be the correct colour yet, but at least it provides some contrast in that area.

EDIT\\ Might help is I put a mapo in eh?!

[cairnswk]

I have a couple of questions please.....

1. Can someone please advise if this is the correct coding for X for Y bonuses that I want to use in this map.

2. does this x for y bonus feature still produce bonuses on top of the Region bonus, once the region is conquered completely?

Make the bonus legend more steely and military like. At the moment it looks like your dreaded firework show which i personally dont find fitting to this map....

Also the bottom legend is very bright.....
