Re: OCEANIA MAP (UPDATE Pg1 & Pg4 - poll open! )
Do you have some type of bonus for a player owning all the turrets?
Re: OCEANIA MAP (UPDATE Pg1 & Pg4 - poll open! )
versions in the post are 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 but in the poll are 2.0, 2.1, 2.2
that's bound to cause some confusion. I voted for the middle one on your poll which hopefully is the middle one from the post

Re: OCEANIA MAP (UPDATE Pg1 & Pg4 - poll open! )
Yes delete the turrets but make something similar to them. Also I absolutely 100% HATE the strong neon! I much prefer light or none. I think this is a great idea and you are doing a great job. I look forward to playing this map in the future1
Re: OCEANIA MAP (UPDATE Pg1 & Pg4 - poll open! )
the lines within australia could look a little less like ms paint, they're too jagged and dont fit with the flow of the map.

I'm assuming that you tried to take the poll down yourself? This means that the record of votes gets lost/messed upthenobodies80 wrote:Poll ended.
On another note, it looks like your heading in the right direction... [Advanced Draft]

UPDATE DONE!
Re: OCEANIA MAP (New Vers 2.4 pg.1 & 6) [ADVANCED DRAFT]
I think the texture for the ocean is too strong; it clashes with the glow of the islands.
Speaking of the islands' glow, I'd like to see a stroke instead of a glow, along with a less glaring texture with the ocean.
Otherwise, I like the look of the map. I love the title especially.

Re: OCEANIA MAP (New Vers 2.4 pg.1 & 6) [ADVANCED DRAFT]
I love the look of this map! Reminds me of a Christmas tree, very festive indeed!
I find it unlogical only to have the Eastern part of Indonesia and not the entire country, nor the Philippines, the latter even being entirely in the image already. Can't you expand it westwards just a little bit?

There was a discussion about this here
Sorry but the territories number was locked without a technical reason to unlock it!

Re: OCEANIA MAP (Poll open! ) [ADVANCED DRAFT]
i think there was some troubles in the posting images.. you may use the bigimg i think, cause in video resolution 1024 the images are resized and smaller..
this is the right version 2.4:
and this is the 2.5

Re: OCEANIA MAP (Poll open! ) [ADVANCED DRAFT]
this is looking promising. the bonuses are on the high side, but i expect u'll adjust them when the gameplay is more fully developed.
australia, new zealand, new guinea and celebes are virtually the only places that have a recognisable outline. most of the other territories appear to be made up of little more than random dots. have u considered doing to most islands what i think u've already attempted for norfolk island, except on a bigger scale, i mean exaggerating the size of each island so that it's totally not to scale, but is large enough to have a distinct shape, character (for example, if u choose to draw mountains) and, importantly, colour? this means much more of the screen will become part of the playable area.
http://www.norfolkisland.com.au/pages/map/
unrelated to this, norfolk island belongs to australia, not new zealand.
i see that u're having a bit of trouble with names in east indonesia. timor-leste (or east timor) is no longer occupied by indonesia, having gained a independence by 2002 in a very bloody struggle. rather than east indonesia, perhaps u can call this region east indies, if u can't find a better name.
http://www.timor-leste.gov.tl/AboutTimo ... istory.htm
celebes and maluku are not names that are contemporary with each other. celebes is now known as sulawesi, while maluku was the moluccas, if u prefer historical names.
http://www.bi.go.id/web/en/Ruang+Media/ ... +77205.htm
papua (formerly known as irian jaya), not west papua, is the name of the indonesian half of new guinea. west papua is a small section that was split off administratively from papua very recently. geographically, papua is part of melanesia, though it goes with indonesia politically.
http://www.petra.ac.id/eastern/irian/
keep up the good work.
