Once Gimil has stamped the graphics and I have stamped the gameplay, it's falls to Andy to review it and move it to the forge if/when ready. Andy may have concerns based on the map or the recent discussion, and if it looks like another update is coming soon he may sit on it. Or it may just take him some time to get to it.rustlemania wrote:i'm pretty new to the forum...
so does this map move to a different area of the forum now?

we'll do this, but we'd like to keep it relatively thin.gimil wrote:As promised here a revive
1. THe boarder to the legends left of the hudson doesnt have a black line boarder like the rest of the map. This isnt a problem and doesnt look bad, altohugh I feel that putting the line in would make the map feel a little more whole.This point aslo applies to the dead territory on the bottom right
we'd like to keep those, so we'll adjust them, and try to blend them slightly.gimil wrote:2. Names like east river, hudson river etc are names which are not part of te gameplay. I wouldnt suggest removing them but maybe reduce the opacity so blend into the image a little better and bring the gameing area forward a little image wise.
we'd like to keep the drop shadow on the title sign, but we'll take it off the continent names and see how it looks.gimil wrote:3. Im not really a fan of the drop shadow you used in any of the map since the rest of the iamge is flat in feeling. I would probably remove the shadow on the continent names on the map. As for the title sign, I dont think it would hurt to keep it as it is for now
we'll see what we can come up with.gimil wrote:4. I would like to see a more distinctive coor used for hte bridges connecting the different islands of the city. THe current ones dotn stand out as well as I would like them to.
you got it gimil.gimil wrote:5. In your next update included the small image as well. If you make up updates (or rebuttel them) and the small image is usable to a decent standard ill stamp it
I understand your point, but I don't see it as such a big deal. Two places in the legend identify the train stations as having heavy borders around them, The above ground territs have translucent backgrounds while the stations have opaque backgrounds. I'd think that most people realize that trains only stop in certain stations, and the indication that these are subways should clue people in that the lines go under some territs.oaktown wrote:clarity of play would be improved a bit if the subway lines didn't bisect non-subway station army circles.
Soho is the worst offender, but there are a few others (Elmhurst, etc).
Personally - I don't think this is an issue - as the lines go behind the army circles...whitestazn88 wrote:i think it looks sweet. i was confused about the train stops because they're cutting through the circles, but its understandable if you look closer. maybe move the lines a little?
