So, no honest competition policy, right, Foundry Foremen? (or whatever your elite group is called)

As of now, the admin still hasn't told me what I would have to change to make my map "different enough" from theirs.

I think it's pretty obvious they are just going to copy my map and say it was "their idea" all along...

So I thought I'd just post the first draft of my World XL map here for future reference - it looks kind of crappy, it is a first draft after all but meh...

You probably shouldn't switch around from cities to states to general territories to countries. I think you should just do straight up cities.

Worst..map..ever!

In all seriousness, first draft looks pretty cool. Much better and eye pleasing world 2.1, down with tyranny!

Let the better map survive, not the one that has special protection... if I'd get beaten in honest competition, I'd be fine with that, but this is just wrong.

Let the man make his map!

I like all of the islands. Would there be a bonus if you hold a certain number of them?

this is true, a map that size could also have a bonus for holding 6+ bonuses.. just sayin

Impressive looking map natty

Hey, I'd be glad to make it. It's just not up to me. So if you want to play it, talk to the admins... maybe if enough people want it you could change their minds.

Btw, isn't it funny how they justified that "we want this map done FAST so it can't be done in the real foundry"... yet here we are, almost 2 months later and those entertainment team hacks have nothing to show for it...

if I had been allowed to develop my world xl map it'd be past the gameplay stage in the main foundry already...
