Was thinking about it, but havn't decided what is an appropriate decay?

Isn't today the anniversary? This would be the most EPIC time ever to have this out of beta, too bad .44 is slow busy

Anyway, I don't know what a decay is, but perhaps the PAF checkerboard, I'ts like their ensign and is found on all their planes.

Now we're just waiting on Sam for the coordinates

It was Sept. 1st, 1939 by the by.

XML is done and should be getting checked by Forza once .44 get's his act together

by **the.killing.44** on Mon Sep 07, 2009 7:58 am

Sent to Forza. Way better with the neutral region typeface, this is great

It may be a little late for a GFX suggestion, but perhaps make Poland's original border a bit more distinguishable.

This is taking SOOOO long

I've had 2 wweks of exams, i come back, and this isn't in Beta yet

So what about making Poland's original border slightly more distinguishable.

by **samuelc812** on Fri Oct 23, 2009 6:03 am

I know it's slow, but the Cartographers have real lives as well, we just have to be patient

I have tried making the Poland border more distinguishable but nothing seems to work in that respect. Anything i do there will just look crap. I think the map is fine without it, and everyone can go to Wikipedia if they want to see the border of poland

Hopefully this goes live soon eh? *crosses fingers*

Good work Sam. This is probably one of the newer maps with a visual aesthetic that I enjoy. However, I don't know if the game play is my kind of thing---but I feel like I'll give it a shot.

Great map!

I think, however, that there must be an esthetically pleasing way to indicate Poland's borders.

What about lowering all Polish territories by a level and letting all adjacent non-Polishh territories cast a shadow on the Polish borders? I think this might work without aggevtive the play, other graphics or overall style.

Try and see, maybe it works

Beta - Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the WWII: Poland Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

by **samuelc812** on Fri Oct 30, 2009 7:06 pm

Thanks, MrBenn

It's been awhile since this came into the final forge, i'm just relieved that it's done now, and i can finally play this visually pleasing map

Now who wants in the first games !?

Congrats Samuelc812, long-time, but it's getting there at last.

by **the.killing.44** on Mon Nov 09, 2009 4:41 pm

Awesome gameplay, very AoR-esque.

by **danryan** on Mon Nov 09, 2009 4:49 pm

I was about to say it's like a compressed waterloo, with the bombards. I like the PAF as a chokepoint for the whole map, it is definitely going to have interesting gameplay.

It is definitely an excellent 1 v 1 map with the even drops.

Any possibility of changing the legend font color? The black on a red background is very difficult for me to read. If it were white or yellow or perhaps the background toned down a little it might improve legibility.
