AOS: Transsib 1914 <v16>

Is this absolutely necessary?

[natty dread]

To clarify: supersizing the map at this point would require a graphical rehaul of proportions that I don't have the time or energy to do at the moment.

In other words, if the map is not good enough in this size, just throw it in the bin.

[Industrial Helix]

Yeah, its too late to draw in the Pacific Coast. Maybe it would be feasible if the supersize was introduced when this was in gameplay.

Though... that line pointing to Kamchatka is a little too tiny on the small map, can you make it a little wider?

[isaiah40]

Well, I was going to wait a little later, so, as long as IH's suggestion is implemented I hereby grant you this!

[natty dread]

Oh, I guess this was settled then. Thanks for the stamp!

Yeah, I'll do something with Kamchatka.

[natty dread]

Kamchatka fixed. XML check was also cleared.

Could you please recheck the coords for the large version?

[natty dread]

What the f*ck?

This happens again. I fixed them already once, and now they're like this again?

WHAT CAUSES THIS????

[natty dread]

The only thing I can figure is that fileden is somehow corrupting the coordinates of my xml. Or maybe it's the XML wizard. Because this happened once before, I fixed them with the XML wizard, checked to see that they were ok on small and large, and now they're back like this again...

[natty dread]

Ok, here's the new XML file, hope it stays intact now.

[MrBenn]

Those co-ords look much better placed

[natty dread]

Thanks Mr B

Don't forget ol' Sully!

[R0k0v]

From August 1914-1924the name of St. Petersburg was Petrograd to represent that it was in honor of Peter the Great, not the Apostle peter. Just thought it was worth mentioning.

[natty dread]

It's not yet august in the map.

[thenobodies80]

While I was testing 888s on your small map I noticed that the rail is almost invisible / hard to follow where you have vladivostok.



Considering that you have already the abbreviation in the legend, you could think to use it instead of the whole name and maybe you can also place the label under the station, like in this quick example: http://gyazo.com/61582c1177735e38b9071ce11adfc363.png

[natty dread]

Is it ok if I only do this on the small map?

[natty dread]

Let me know if it should be changed on the large as well.

[MrBenn]

That looks better. The large image looks fine as it is.

Beta - Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the XXX 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!

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:

1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
2. Please update the Map Information Portal with details of your map
3. Finally, it is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.
