have the little description underneath the rest of the legend.

didnt think of that...i can try. i didnt like it going over the map either.

while it's probably pointless to mention it at this point, I think you could come up with a better solution for your signature.

not pointless at all...i have put almost no thought into it at all...

What about the arrows? Does that mean that Alcatraz can attack nothing?

exactly.

by **Gilligan** on Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:06 pm

Then, I think that the arrow info should be put on the legend.

by **luckiekevin** on Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:07 pm

ouch... I really don't like the way that looks.. The other one on page 20 looks much better.

i prefer the second one much much much better its new and easy to read

It's new, I agree. I just think its kind of ugly. That and it doesn't have anything explaining the Alcatraz bonus. Imagine what it will look like with that description underneath it.. It doesn't work design wise if you ask me.

I agree that the typical legend does look better in this situation. In regards to the Alcatraz bonus explanation and its overlapping of the map, you could just put 'per continent held' or 'per continent'. Same message with significantly less words.

I agree, the text legend looks way better. At a certain point, if people aren't capable of figuring something out they just weren't going to win at a strategy game.

Wow, dude...

changes
-brought back original legend, moved it up, and put alcatraz text underneath...
-moved signature under title...

-moved 'financial' text a tad...
-moved 'mclaren park' text a tad...
-moved 'richmond district' army circle to below text, centered in region...
-moved 'glen park' text and army circle up to be more centered...
-moved 'ingleside' to the right of army circle (ive been meaning to do that for awhile)
-moved 'SOMA' text and bubble, now more centered...
-moved 'candlestick point' text and army circle down to center it...

by **luckiekevin** on Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:13 pm

this is awesome.. I'm ready to play. The only little picky thing I can see is possibly centering the Circle/name of Inner Sunset a little more. But I can't find anything else.

by **johloh** on Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:26 pm

centering the Circle/name of Inner Sunset a little more.

yeah i agree...

and now that im looking at it more...

-city of richmond circle is a little off...
-civic center circle is a little off

by **johloh** on Thu Apr 05, 2007 8:38 pm

changes

-centered 'civic center' army circle
-centered 'city of richmond' army circle
-centered 'inner sunset' text and army circle
-centered 'outer sunset' army circle
-centered 'oakland' text

I must have been drunk when I put all this stuff in...

pick away!

Now that "(aded for each bonus region held)" is underneath "Alcatraz," I could see it interpreted that it applies to the entire bonus legend, rather than just Alcatraz. Not sure what to do about it, but I thought I'd point it out.

by **t.e.c** on Thu Apr 05, 2007 9:24 pm

maybe the text about the alcatraz bonus could be the same gray as the background colour

I think you're on the right track but the gray might be hard to read against the color of the water in the background. I'm sure Johloh will figure something out.

by **t.e.c** on Thu Apr 05, 2007 11:39 pm

ok, maybe put the same gray background as is behind alcatraz behind the bonus text... if that sentence makes any sense.

makes total sense.

i can try that...

HE could add an asterik (*).

by **johloh** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 2:19 pm

-added an asterisk, removed (), and removed 'held' from description so it does not cross the map...

I tried the gray box...it didnt look good...the boxes match with the font and size of the rest of the legend, but not well with the description...

could possibly remove added instead, and just say 'for each bonus region held' we need to cut a word though...

Yeah, I like this idea. The asterisk was a great idea too.

by **johloh** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 4:15 pm

-removed added, added held

by **fireedud** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 4:16 pm

that's the best, terse saying yet.

by **plysprtz** on Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:57 am

i think down town should only be seven because if you take over richmond district it would only be 5 territories to hold it
