negatives

point 1:

i don't know what the hell you mean with 'famine' A famine is a social and economic crisis that is commonly accompanied by widespread malnutrition, starvation, epidemic and increased mortality
point 2:

i don't see the purpose of the resources well enough explained ill try to explain it more

point 3:

i don't like the grapics im trying to work on gameplay mostly first

point 4:

the name 'fram' and 'farm' look alike too much, please change 'fram' to something else. true, how about frim?

positives

point 1:

if worked out well enough, it could be a nice addition to the conquest maps

I like the idea of famine... however, like someone else mentioned, the numbers may need to be tweaked a bit.
My biggest reason for posting is that I think you should change the look of the map quite a bit. Not the layout, but the style.
There's been a lot of talk of the similarities between this, AoR, and Feudal Wars. There are plenty of similarities, but there are some key differences as well. But the problem is, this LOOKS a lot like Feudal wars. The same green base with the black legend at top in the same position. The ONLY difference is that your legend goes further across the screen (and the font of course).

I think you should change this.... drastically. Change the color scheme, the legend (font, color, and placement), the texture, everything. Make it completely your own.
It'll make the map so much better, and it'll make your critics happier.

I hope you consider this!

This could just as well be Ancient Sumer, or any African Empires, Roman Empire, Chinese empire, anything! But you've stuck with the feudal england/france look from the middle ages. Heck, you could even create a ridiculously fantastic empire that has no basis in reality! Whatever you do, it'd be great if you could change it up a bit.

I hope you consider this!

yea i considering it, and most likely will apply it.


edit: also, how exactly do u think i should change the look other than those?? like more specific, do u think i should just drop the dock at rinyer and have a giant bridge go between lakran castle, rinyer, and ment?

looks like a cross between AoM and Fuedel Wars.

just to let u know (again!) i had started on this before i had known of feudal wars

i believe you, but i don't believe that you both coincidentally designed your maps the same way.
I'll post later with more feedback when i get some time.

as to that, i just went with green land and blue water, isnt that the usual color of water and grass?

[Unit_2]

i'd suggest changing the text, it look too much like fuedel.

Unfortunatly, bryguy between this and the civil war map your creditability is low. Im sure me, DiM or yeti dont mind that you based this idea from feudal/realm, but your trying to pass this as origonal and that you develop it before you knew feudal existed. Its a plain and obvious lie. Wheres the harm in being honest?

You didnt make the map, you had an idea. Then you saw Feudal War, then you starting working on an image. Just try to make it look a little different at least.

[bryguy]

[Sir. Ricco]

[Sir. Ricco]

Take a look at the Grade Canyon for ideas.

[gimil]

Now your being a little more imaginative bryguy

Still very similar but a step in the right direction. But why do all terrs have a name and a number?
