France [Quenched]

[reverend_kyle]

I think Breton or Bretagne or even Brittany would be better...

i think im going with brittany.

[reverend_kyle]

So anyway asides from retarded macho nationalism (nationalism blows by the way) and xenophobia... does anyone have anything to say about the map? How's it coming along anyway? Ignore the people who've posted stupid crap, just look at the poll.

nationalism doesnt necissarily blow, but blind nationalism really blows.

[qeee1]

Meh, you're probably right, anyway me and pedro have resolved our differences. Any progress on the map?

[Willgfass]

what's sad is that the greeks took many months to be conquered and technically never surrendered while the french became the nazi's puppet

[AndyDufresne]

Lets try to keep this somewhat on topic...and that topic being the France Map.

[Banana Stomper]

Until we see barriers, i don't have much to say.

As it stands, this map is bland. nothing more than a bunch of countries packed together. I don't care if its france, spain, europe, or the moon, if it looks like this it won't be a game.

Show us how it will be interesting, give us something to talk about.

[reverend_kyle]

you want unique i could say that the defense only gets to roll a dice that goes to 5 however that wouldnt be very practical.

[AndyDufresne]

Unique is broad. Find something that is specifically unique to your map. Look at the natural layout of countries, borders, and geographical figures. Perhaps you can incorporate a new style of gameplay into the map, or perhaps you can achieve a perfectly balanced, yet fun map. Keep working on it and post your revisions.

if i were facing you your right arm would be on my left.

I believe that is why it is why, universally, mapmakers use directional coordinates (North, East, West, South)

i cant figure out how to make natural barriers on gimp, anyone know how?

[jay_a2j]

We fought for France once and look where that got us?

[reverend_kyle]

I lost a whole bunch of crap but here is the newest update. Complete with natural borders, though it doesnt have as many as i would like. But waht do you think now?

[DublinDoogey]

i don't know what it would look like off the top of my head but maybe you should do a historical france map, like france under the rule of charlemagne, or napoleon, or something to that extent, just a suggestion though.

[reverend_kyle]

oh and the fonts are the ones im contemplating.

[Marvaddin]

I didnt read all the topic, but I would like to say that your map is pretty unbalanced. Two smal continents, 1 medium, 1 big and 3 gigantic!! And 2 of these are occupying all the south, thats a big waste. I think that you should remove some countries, or add some more continents, or change the actual continents, because this map is in practice reduced to the North half.

[reverend_kyle]

as it stands right now there are give or take 54 countries. I'm trying to get it down to 42, so do you recommend the ones i merge are the ones in the south?

[qeee1]

I'd say so. Either do that, or merge countries in other continents and then take continents from the south to give to those continents.

... but it'd be simpler just merge continents in the South.

[rocksolid]

Kyle, there's all kinds of rivers in France if you're looking for something to break the map up with.

Kyle, there's all kinds of rivers in France if you're looking for something to break the map up with.

i have a couple of them on the map, that is the blue line.

[Ronaldinho]

i personly dont this idea i hate the french

[Marvaddin]

Hmmm, maybe I can send you some suggestions about merging the countries, but only in some days, maybe in the weekend.

[reverend_kyle]

i personly dont this idea i hate the french

can you give me some viable reasons, or is this blind nationalism speaking. I really dont know if i should give you credibility. Right now you are on ann coulter layer with me.
