Halloween Hollows [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

...
kk good to know:D
lol i wrote team instead of theme. My english sucks:D

I did understand however, so no probs....you'll get there with your english, i am confident.

Version 4.

Time to get this started again....let's see....Aug, Sep, Oct....3 months should be enough time to get this quenched by 31 Oct.

Sure - you can get it quenched, but it will sit in FF for another 2 months.

I luv your positivity Rj.

I am sure we can roll this out in time for Halloween, don't you??

VErsion 7.

Changes:
1. i changed the legend font from Agatha to FeZKK, don't know if this works any better?
2. Appliled some colour to the territory names
3. The Blood red and slimy green didn't go together for the legend font colours, so have left it at slimmy green, or what i perceive as being that colour.

3. I can't tell what attacks what in the graveyard (plus the tombstone and terrace names are hardly visible)

OK I'll work on that.

4. the whole riddle thing doesn't work for me. you're just going to confuse people. I can hardly tell what your meaning is there and people not as familiar with the english language or those who just aren't bright are going to be totally confused.

I think this is a great little twist especially for this Halloween map.
Perhaps you (& others) will have to take the time to solve the riddle.

5. the witch can attack anywhere, but what can attack the witch?

well, i thought that borders would have been obvious, since the witch sits in the moon, its is attackable from Witches Castle (at this point), however, i probably will clarify that in the legend.

i like that you rearranged the stuff in the bottom part of the legend

suggestions: cauldron bubble and the wizard hats look too bright for this map, as everything else has a darker tone to it, maybe change those up

also, i'd like it if the colors of the witches way territs and the wizard ward territs were less similar... i mean, they're very easily distinguishable, but i don't like those colors next to each other, more orange-y for the wizard ward might have a nice touch

and the witch being able to attack everything on the map is kinda... extreme for me, it just seems like too much. i dunno what to do with it, but it is kinda excessive

Good

Should be fixed now...i toned down the cauldron, addded some smoke and bubbles

also, i'd like it if the colors of the witches way territs and the wizard ward territs were less similar... i mean, they're very easily distinguishable, but i don't like those colors next to each other, more orange-y for the wizard ward might have a nice touch

Done, changed the Wizard Ward to a more orangey colour

and the witch being able to attack everything on the map is kinda... extreme for me, it just seems like too much. i dunno what to do with it, but it is kinda excessive

Still working on that one.

Version 8

[whitestazn88]

the cauldron is exactly what i had in mind... especially the fire being made smaller.

i take back what i said about this being kitschy... its turning out to be a pretty cool map, and i look forward to it being available for play by halloween

I toned the fire down.
I'm starting to write the XML, so I've made Wiccan Beach part of Ward Ward, to give some variation to the continents....and you'll probably notice that the fence bordering Tombstone Terrace has been moved down to make that area much clearer as to what borders what. Basically that area works like VOTK with T'stone Terrace being the master holder of the continent.

Kitchsy....no probs...glad to hear you're looking forward to it now.
See if you can get some other friends in here for comments to get this out the the Drafting area & into the Foundry proper.

OK...worked the witch out, please read the riddle and tell me if you can understand it.

Version 9.

[whitestazn88]

yeah, i get the riddle

i dunno if underlining some territs is what i'd prefer, but its a step forward from having an all powerful witch

and as for the territs that can attack the witch, maybe change their font color so that its easier to see them rather than having to search for them, it might become cumbersome in freestyle games

[cairnswk]

yeah, i get the riddle

Code: Select all

i dunno if underlining some territs is what i'd prefer, but its a step forward from having an all powerful witch

well yes that can be worked on.

...it might become cumbersome in freestyle games

what do you mean by this?

yeah, i get the riddle

Code: Select all

i dunno if underlining some territs is what i'd prefer, but its a step forward from having an all powerful witch

well yes that can be worked on.

...it might become cumbersome in freestyle games

what do you mean by this?

if you can't figure out what attacks the witch really quick, it would be hard when you're in the heat of a freestyle game

Nice work cairnswk. wow . Did you really do that much updates when i was sleeping:O

Sure did Androidz...i'm on holidays.
And here's another update for you...
Version 10.
I've changed the underlined for what the witch can attack to an asterisk. I didn't think that changing the colour of those territory names as previously suggested would work because it would take the colour of that territory away from the map....so asterisks have been used in cream color to indicate this.

Ohhh, I thought this was abandoned.

It'd be cool if you got this quenched on Halloween.

I'm hoping it will be quenched well before Halloween and lackattack can put it up on H. Eve.

Good update cairnswk. I just want to ask a question.


Does it say Imapssables or is it the type of letters which does that?


I tought a anotherword for impassibles to fitt the haloween theme could be nice. But i found out there is no other word than that:D

You're right. Fixed next update. Thanks

i still think we need a way of recognizing pretty quickly what can attack the witch

Did you see the asterisk...or didn't you refresh?

[whitestazn88]

the asterisks are the territories that the witch can attack.

i need a way of knowing what can attack the witch... those are hard to find because all you give us are the names of the territs, but they are randomly dispersed

yes i was uncertain of whether to so that the same way.
i will think of something, although i am sorry that naming the territories doesn't cut the mustard for you.
