[Abandoned] Central Asia 2020

[MarshalNey]

Excellent, glad to see this one still cooking.

[TaCktiX]

I second that motion.

[pamoa]

thank you guys for the support

[ManBungalow]

Looks fantastic!
Though I'm not quite sure what the legend regarding the bombard ranges is supposed to tell us.

[pamoa]

each fleet can only bombard in his range

6th Flt Caspian & Black seas
I understand the bombard ranges (a nice gameplay idea in its own right) but I'm not sure what that's trying to describe^

And just to be really picky, the Beirut/Amman border area looks vague.

Oh, and does this map have a small/large image option? If we're looking at the large version now, it might be insightful to see how it appears within the guidelines of a small image. Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious here.

It sounds like I'm picking flaws in this map wherever I can, but it's constructive criticism because I really want to see this go live.

[pamoa]

you are currently looking at the small image
but as it was said before
we got authorization to go larger
so small map will be 800x800
so a bit of patience

I just finished the map resize and I'm waiting for legend update from Raskholnikov so you can see the new version

[ender516]

I think the texts regarding the bombard ranges are intended to be a shorthand way of remembering which tankers (and terrorists) can be bombarded by which fleet, without looking at the blue circles.

After a fortnightly review, I noticed there hasn't been an update for sometime. So, come the next fortnightly review, if there isn't an update made, we will have to move into the Recycling Bin until the mapmaker makes an update.

[pamoa]

I'm still waiting for Raskholnikov legend update the new graphics are ready

[isaiah40]

What's the status with the update?

[isaiah40]

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made.

[pamoa]

fair enough

[Raskholnikov]

Apologies to veryone I've been quite sick over the past few months and still am on antibiotics right now, but I plan to get back to work on this now and hopefully we'll have a new version in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for all your patience and understanding.

[Industrial Helix]

Feel better soon Rask! Being sick sucks, but I'm looking forward to seeing this map playable!

[theBastard]

take your time to be healthy. I am looking forward on new supersized concept.

[ender516]

Best wishes for a speedy complete recovery, Rask!

[thenobodies80]

The six months of vacation has expired, for this reason this topic is now labeled as [Abandoned]. If the original mapmaker wants to continue this map project it's fine but an update must provided. From this moment anyone else is free to take this project without the original mapmaker permission, but it has to be started from the scratch.

[pamoa]

I'm back to save it

Moved back to the main foundry.

Pamoa, you wil continue this alone or Raskholnikov is still around?

[Teflon Kris]

This was one of the maps I was sad to see go - so glad its back.

[ender516]

Man, I had a link to this map topic in my signature forever, and just took it out (less than 24 hours ago?). Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

[pamoa]

well thenobodies80
Raskholnikov didn't answered me when asked him if he was willing to continue
so I'm on my own now
I mean with the help of ender 516 for the code

[Industrial Helix]

omg!! I want to play this map! I'm so glad to see it is back into production.

[pamoa]

OK, Rask, pamoa, you've been approved for the map to exceed standard size;
however, in the interests of keeping the map from becoming unnecessarily large (and scroll-happy),
we've decided to keep the size limits for The Struggle For Oil below the maximum.
So, 800x700 px for the small map, and 1000x 933 px for the large map are the new size limits for this map. Sound good?

I think the supersize stamp didn't exist at that time
maybe I should receive it just to be clear it was authorised
the small version is now 800x800
