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 :wink:

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

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? :wink:

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.

How about you reevaluate what your thinking. Go away and recreate a better looking feudal war then tell me my map doesnt look realistic.
What do you know about map making, bitch?

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.

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? :|
