really i dont see how this ids graphicly nice to look at

British Isles
woot???

please tell me why the bolded ones need a revamp.

the bolded ones in red were not supposed to be on there

what exactly is wrong with AoM? it realistically represents an old map. look at the burned edges and stuff, the stains and all. yes it's not a bright colored map but then again i doubt pirates had photoshop to meke sparkling colors

malta and montreal are brand new while space looks great.
as for the red bolded parts then why the heck did you add them? you randomly selected maps without looking or what?

where i come from grass is usually in various shades of green just like on the map. if you have red blue or pink grass near your house then please use those colours

but i agree on the castles. they're a bit too schematic for my taste.

yeah but an empire isnt all grass and that wall make a mountain instead get a bit of variety in there maybe some grain field or whatever

and i rather wanna see something like this as castle than what there is now even though it doesnt fit the perspective

a castle like that wouldn't work. as you said it's the wrong perspective. why would you struggle creating a realistic landscape if you screw the perspective?

but it isnt realistic and it doesnt look realistic

why isn't it realistic? because it doesn't have mountains and grain fields?

it has grassy hills and plains as well as some cliffs and a river. that's a perfectly realistic landscape to me.

it doesnt LOOK like grassfield and cliffs it looks like a big green fill with bevel and some close to that color brushes

How about you reevaluate what your thinking. Go away and recreate a better looking feudal war then tell me my map doesnt look realistic.

I think it would be pretty hard to find many other people with that opinion. It's a lot more than just a green bevel: It's got little dots of trees scattered around, some subtle shades of yellow and brown, thin roads everywhere, realistic looking bridges/water, and that really cool smoke coming out of the villages.

thats really how i see it, and if people want a revamp of feudal wars i will surtainly be trying to make that i think looks cool

and gimil i dont want to offend you thats just how i see that map there are plenty of other who think different

no, i was choosing some and chose some of the wrong ones, but i cant think of what the others were now though

check Empire Builder, ive been kinda trying to make it look more realistic, but what does a grain field look like from overhead?

Isn't this supposed to be a thread about proposing maps to be re-touched or revamped? Not a discussion on the merits of Feudal War?
