yeah that green is way out of gamut.

Here is something a little easier on the eyes.

and for comparison

I'd go a bit lighter than Mibi's green, but definitely use Mibi's water, and darken/desaturate the grass a bit. I could go either way on the beaches.

Agreed. The darkness seems a bit too dark, almost like it was night. It also makes some of the numbers, especially in the realm of might more difficult to read.

anyone know when the new fuedal map is coming out??/

by **Kotaro** on Thu Mar 12, 2009 11:07 pm

pfft, why not just PM me ?

Right now, we're arguing about graphics. Then it's on to more gameplay testing. And lastly, coding. So a few months, most likely.

The new colors look terrible. Half the land is dying, the water appears to have been heavily polluted by "navy blue" coloring dye, and the letters are less visible now.

I like the darker look, but not with those colours... I agree, the land looks dead. Need something more... forest-greeny. More natural. Less dead.

i like Gimils version but can you make the numbers more visible? Thats the only problem i see

by **danfrank** on Sun Mar 15, 2009 9:42 pm

i like the darker blue.. I also thought maybe the mountains could also be a bit darker ... that would define each realm rather nicely :mrgreen:

i like the dark version, but some names are difficult to see. (the darker names and numbers)
in this darker map the minimap could be usefull for names (or necessary?

)
the trees and castles lose the beautiful effect they have in the lighter map, is possible for you mix them ?
Darker territories with lighter objects, names and numbers.
And finally probably you have to fix the map title that disappear in the dark blue in the top right corner.

Great map!

Yeah I could really pimp this out if I had the PSD.

Jus'sayin.

i have been watching this map and the new colors are bad, go back to the darker version, or at least make the impassible a darker.

I think I am going to start the graphics again with a little more saturation and darkness:

by **thenobodies80** on Mon Mar 23, 2009 7:13 am

water a little less dark.

Terrain color is ok in my opinion

Remember the title

by **n00blet** on Mon Mar 23, 2009 11:19 am

Starting from scratch after all that work?

Dang....that's dedication! =D>

best looking of all yet.

It looks like there are different shades of green on the land that do not fit with the positions of the cliffs.
"Water" looks dark gray more then blue.

From what I've read and seen this map will complement the current "feudal" very nicely, keep up the good work.

Before I go any further, how does these numbers look on the new background?

by **sailorseal** on Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:17 pm

I would like to see the blue of the water be darken so it sticks apart better from the land. Also make the edge of the land seem more of a border, a a quick glance it seems the land just begins to turn blue
Great Map

Disagree on both counts. The water's brightness is fine - if anything, saturate it a tiny bit more (but not much!). And the shading clearly shows that rivers are in valleys.

The numbers and borders both look lovely, gimil. I'm not terribly fond of the cliffs, though.

Agree with Zeak on both here. But one thing: not sure if this is just temporary, but I liked it better when all the borders had glow, although I do understand why you did it. But maybe just a smaller amount of glow on the borders that are non-area dividing?

And I hate the title, even on Feudal — as well as the font in general — but for the Feudal continuity it's fine if you keep it.
Numbers look great, nicely done!

The cliffs need work, but I agree with him.

Looks great! Anxious for it's release. =D>

I have to agree that the "cliffs" or walls should all look like the ones at Imperial or Warlords.
As for the colors, I think all the player colors will work well on the background (should actually be able to distinguish between green & grey on a map for a change!).
