Classic Map Touch-Up - Update: Live map changed

[againstheresies]

Still Hate It

Perhaps you could put all of this energy into fixing perceived problems in all of the dozens of maps your "foundry" has spewed out and leave this map alone and as it was. Not everything needs change and not all change is improvement.

well said!

Thanks for the effort, but the older map is easier to read. I'm having to use color codes now. Ugh. But, beggars can't be choosers, so do what you think is best.

[yoarevalo]

I DONT LIKE IT, CONCQUERCLUB THIS IS HORRIBLE, YOU RUINED THE MOST IMPORTANT MAP...
PLEASE MAKE IT OPTIONAL ... I HOPE YOU CHANGE IT

[castudil]

NIce Job!

Considering Classic Map is pretty much the only map that i play, this update forces me to not take my turns because it makes figuring out where the armies are an real effort.

+1 to the change it back camp.

[drob87]

i want the old map back this sucks...its giving me a headache

[Godd]

after playing on it the only prob I see is yellow and neutrals are hard to tell apart

[drob87]

yeah i cant tell what is going on...Please make the old map an option

[joesdad]

what a complete and totally usless pice of work. but leave it up to you guys to figgure out anotherway to feel important

[MikeZeus]

Kudos for trying to make it better, but if doesn't change back to the way it was, I won't renew my membership....it's almost painful to look at.

Why mess with a good thing? Seriously...

[Soldier4Christ]

im not diggin it its hurtin my eyes lol

[fonbeck]

I have to agree with those above, its almost unreadable.

[Gen. Ripper]

UUUUUUUUUUUUugly!

[kerntheconkerer]

Yea it does look better I was shocked to see that it had changed...it was like, "wow"

[Gen. Ripper]

Remove the contrast dots and I will not be as unhappy.

[supersocks]

Love it.
I couldn't read it before. Now I can. Good work

[jacksonexl]

not a big fan of the change. it's much harder to read now. a suggestion is to increase the map size a bit.

Guys, this touch up has been in the map foundry since the end of January. If you don't like it, you should have posted there sometime in the past three months. If you were too lazy to do so, it's your own damn fault.

I think the touch-up looks lovely

MORAN people play games instead of reading crap. 80% of the new maps are hiddeous anyway, why do you think most people play classic?

"`...You hadn't exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anyone or anything.'
`But the plans were on display...'
`On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.'
`That's the display department.'
`With a torch.'
`Ah, well the lights had probably gone.'
`So had the stairs.'
`But look you found the notice didn't you?'
`Yes,' said Arthur, `yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of The Leopard".'"

[againstheresies]

Please give us an option to toggle back to the old map....hate the new one.

[jiminski]

Today you have drawn a mustache on the Mona Lisa and taken a poop on strawberries!!

I hope no one is proud of this debacle as you have obliterated a place i once called home!

lol...need to read that book sometime...lol

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, right?

Anyways, I was in the foundry a while back and I remembered seeing the Classic map up for a touch up. I thought, "Oh, should be good if they fix it up like they did the Canada map" [the Canada map at least looked rather nice though perhaps too flashy in retrospect of its fix up]

But boy...was I ever wrong. Please change Classic back. Or at least get rid of those darned white circles. Argh. Hurts my eyes just to look at the map now.

[marcus84]

I really appreciate the efforts, but it is really making things worse. i cant see the opponents properly. I call for a return of the previous map. PLEASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[artemis.fowl]

I for one did, and yet it didn't make a difference. You're never going to get the majority of the community in the map foundry to comment. The intense negative reaction last time should've been a huge clue lighter is not the preferred way to go.

Perhaps next time, put up an announcement with the proposed map on the My Games page BEFORE it's put into play. That way you'll reach the majority of the players here, not just a small minority in the foundry.[/quote]

And you have every right to complain about the final product . I myself voted for 55% opacity, but I don't mind the current version toomuch. What I was complaining about here was people who protest this new map but did not even bother to read the foundry threads on them. People who demand that the map be taken down and hurl insults at it left and right yet had never even looked at the thread while this was in development are being unreasonable. They would come across much better by mollifying their request in light of the fact that they took no part in the development process. Remember the story of the little red hen?[/quote]

The only arguments for this map seem to be, well if you don't like it you should have posted in the foundry. EVEN A COLOR BLIND PERSON SAYS IT WORSE AND ITS TO HELP THEM???

I don't read the foundry like most people, I just play, its when the best map changes for teh worse we then comment.

Its kinda like the Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy when the Vogons say the plans have been in the universal library or w/e for 3 millenia and its earth fault they didnt object to the bypass[/quote]

EXACTLY!!! There are so many maps that need work that I never imagined they would attack the Classic.
