Allow me to play Devil's Advocate for a bit :twisted:

Why would anyone be excited about this map but you? You say Copenhagen is an exciting city, but I think Columbus, Ohio is an exciting city, and yet I don't see anyone making a map of that city.

Hurrah a response

Its just an exciting city as any ohter city, so why not ?

by **Industrial Helix** on Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:05 am

Yeah, I can like this idea.

But it'd like to see minatures of some sights, especially if you're going to go with the sightseeing aspect.

hmm... I kind of want to go to Copenhagen now...

Thx IH
That was my intention from the start, to add Sights as some kind of bonus hold, but how to integreate it to the gameplay so no one gets an advantage from the start, Im trying to figure out, I think it will be difficoult to work in more neutral starters but I come up with some thing.
What about 5 Sights spread out, (not hard to find or add) then hold all 5 for 1 round to win ? (old school gameplay i know)

Rights, you want sights and you also want little mermaid instead of Littel.

You should also find space in the legend to list the sights so as to avoid confusion.

Well... given the multiple drafts this one has, it can be moved to the Drafting Room.

by **cairnswk** on Wed Nov 30, 2011 5:35 pm

Go for it, i say! You've got a good idea there.
Not sure about the icon for the Metro, it kind of looks like MacDonalds icon.
And are you going to place an icon on Amalienborg, given in your Denmark map you've clearly identified Denmark as a Monarchy?
I think it is worthy of it's own icon.

Thank you Cairnswk.

First the Metro icon, unfortunately its the design of copenhagens metro :roll:

and yes it could look some like MD, I did have in mind to change it but I havent found a replace, and I dont want to do comercial for the Metro compagny.

Next

Amalien borg ( you have read my mind) I have thought about swapping Marble church with Amalien borg, It would be more correct if the metro was on Marble church, they are building a station there rigth now, then have Amalien borg as a win object instead of Marble church, do a impasseble from Gefion to Amalien borg to avoid the closness to Little mermaid.

More inputs/comments are very welcome

I like how this is looking more and more like a sightseeing map

I think this map is good for a sticky with some red on the horizon.

What does the arrow signify in the airport territory?

And what exactly is the icon in Christiania?

And might the Warship Museum qualify as a site to see when in Copenhagen? I know that would be one of the first places I would go.

Is anyone at all surprised that I know this?

Good times, good times...

The arrow point the direction to the airport, it would be wrong to place it in that territory, its approximately 7 km in the arrows direction.

This map looks pretty cool so far, but personally I don't like the blue you're using for the bottom right region unless those places are under water--especially since as far as I can tell they actually border a body of water. What about using a different color, or switching the blue region with the purple so the water isn't next to the water color?
