[Official] REVAMP/TOUCH-UP Proposals

Postby gimil on Sat Jan 26, 2008 10:38 pm

As mentioned in the announcement here is your own chance to have a say in which maps you would like to be revamped and touched up. Not only that but you can also put your name down to revamp a map and if the maps cartographer accepts you'll have your own new little project. So enought of the talking and start suggesting.

Suggested REVAMPS:
  • Ancient Greece (Rejected)
  • Brazil (Approved)
  • Germany (Approved)
  • Hong Kong
  • Tamriel
Suggested TOUCH-UP:
  • Ireland

are you crazy? what's wrong with Alexander's Empire??? or space? or hong kong?

brazil is being done. germany is still pretty good and philipiness and tamriel could get away with just a few minor touchups

Revamps:
Asia - Maybe even just a touch-up though. It's a lot like Classic...
CCU - It's just ugly, IMO
Crossword - See CCU
Germany - I don't like the textures or the backgrounds and I just find it very... yuck.
Hong Kong - Hideous! IMO at least...
Ireland - Too... White.
North America - To disproportionate
USA - I don't like the patterns on the continents...
USApolcolyspe - Too busy and confusing

Touchups:
Asia - Or maybe a full blown revamp...
Arctic - Maybe add a nice texture to it...
Ireland - Maybe a revamp is more than this map needs...
Madness - Make things like borders or more specifically NON-borders clearer

I think the "non borders" are pretty clear... which ones are you struggling with?

germany definitely needs a revamp. its just plain ugly, teh textures are bad and the background isnt very eye-appealing.

ireland could use a a touch up. it is a bit eye glaringly painful.

On a separate - non graphics note..

Now that we have overrides, should world 2.1's xml be revamped?

Would this mean that when you held a whole continent, only that bonus would show up in BOB, (rather than the smaller continent bonus, plus each individual continent?)

I'd be happy to put my hand up to do this, it doesn't sound like it'd be that much work, but would make things look a little nicer with whole continents, and hey, if the code is there.... *shrug*

Or am I mis-understanding how overrides would display in BOB?

Nope - you're correct - for an example - see Pearl Harbour - and get some planes!!

Revamp:
Artic
Discworld
Midkemdil
Montreal

Touch up:
Middle Earth
Pudget Sound
Ireland

I think the reason for all of these is pretty obvious, maybe with the exception of midkemdil. my reason for putting midkemdil up there was that theres just too much goin on in the map, some of the texture needs to be taken out, especially the mountains along the bottom that have nothing to do with the gameplay of the map. Also, in several areas the attack lines are hard to distinguish agaisnt the map.

Montreal just recently got revamped and Malta is a brand new map. I don't think they are going to revamp it just weeks after it was quenched.
