Here's the latest. While not yet fixed in the tiny image, are these colours more pleasing for the pink areas? Removed the dotted lines.

And Sailorseal, I wonder about that ... would it play better if Deep Cove and Belcarra were connected? Do I have too many dead ends?

I think the 2 continents in the top left are over-valued On their own, they might be worth 2, and 3, but to hold both of them for a total of 5 seems a little too easily achieved.

maybe make north vancouver worth 2 armies instead of 3...

It looks like things are moving in the right direction.

The map still appears slightly blurry in places, but the colour change is a big improvement. The biggest thing that needs to be addressed before things move onto the next stage are bringing the graphics up a level, and consolidating the direction you want the gameplay to take.

[shakeycat]

Thank you thank you, Mr Benn!

It is blurry, now that I look at it! Everything but Horseshoe Bay is blurred. I'll see what I can do about the rest of the graphics too.

What do we mean about consolidating the direction of gameplay? I'm thinking I like gameplay it as it is, right now.

[Joodoo]

hey I used to live in Vancouver! great map but may I suggest adding a bonus for sea island since it's the airport?

[shakeycat]

Joodoo -

I had a bonus there before as part of the port bonus. Should it be a separate +1 for simply owning Sea Island, with a little airplane? No special powers, just +1. Starts neutral.

Trying to make the colours less garish.

[Joodoo]

looks good

[Bavarian Raven]

can't wait to play it

[shakeycat]

Thank you Raven, Joodoo.

Made some minor tweaks today. Bridges, North Vancouver's bonus, colours of Surrey and Langley a little, and the overall texture. The bridge from Kitsilano to Downtown has been moved, so it would not appear to go into Downtown Station. I hope it is clear that Kitsilano, Hastings, and Downtown are all unique territories.

looking good. one minor thing (doesn't matter really ) is that below pitt meadows where that large 'bulge' in the river is, is an island. but thats just me being too critical...

other wise i like it the way it is

[shakeycat]

Raven, yes, Barnston Island, isn't it? I took out all the non-playable islands to clean up the map some. Annacis Island is also absent, though its name remains. Perhaps those two islands should go back in?

[lzrman]

This map looks really sharp compared to fourth and fifth version! Great Stuff!

[shakeycat]

Now that you mention it, Lzrman, it has come along way and I'm glad of it.

[Joodoo]

are the stations separate territories? ex.is there an "Oakridge Station" territory?

[shakeycat]

Yes! Nameless, but they will be called "Oakridge Station", "Port Moody Station", and the like. Oh, I probably have to explain that somewhere, don't I. I thought the white circles would make it clear enough.

[Joodoo]

I guess some more explanation on that would be nice

[shakeycat]

How's this one sound?

Any progress on this map?

[the.killing.44]

Here's a thought: how about a +1 autodeploy on Sea Island instead of the airport bonus? It's a very strategic point.

.44

[shakeycat]

With +1 Autodeploy usually comes Starts Neutral, right?

What makes Sea Island a strategic point?

[LED ZEPPELINER]

just the fact that ti borders a lot of territs, is an airport, and a part of a large bonus

[LED ZEPPELINER]

i sort of fell as though the legend is a little cluttered, the minimap is fine, but i was just thinking you could move all of the writing into the bay area by boundry bat and white rock. I think this would give a little more clarity to the Ports becuase at the moment they look as thought they are divided
