maby KEYOGI would let me push the height guideline further and and i can open it up a little more. But i dont see it happening

Please the rules are more of a set of guidelines anyway.

coleman please. It a hard job getting KEYOGI on sdie for this project without pawning his favourite guidline as well

You've got plenty of height to work with, but I wouldn't make the map any wider unless absolutely necessary... and even then, just a little bit.

799x436 isn't too bad, considering the number of territories you have. Eight Thoughts and Great Lakes push the guideline a little, but neither of those maps are excessively big. Just try to avoid going as big as World 2.1.

P.S. Why'd you delete your post?

I come back to the site, and there are like 5 pages of posts i missed....wow...you guys are fast!

Anyway: i agree with what Teya says about the graphics. Maybe some mountains, farms, or forests could help that.

Also the broken bridge can be a little confusing. Why is the path there if you cannot travel it. I understand, but maybe some players who havent checked the foundry will not know what is going on there.

i think the maps size is ok but the layout is wrong. perhaps think of moving the legend at the top. this way instead of having a map 1100*600 px you'll have one that's 800*800 px. it will look better.

ill see what i can do

i played around with part of the river a bit to make it look a bit more realistic, you probably wont have everything i have but into my bit of river because that would look weird, but try spreading out the things i used.
I dont know if you like it though.

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:56 am

It play aroudn a tweek to see what i get

I really want to animate that. I've been working on an animated map forever called Insanity, but I'll probably never put it on the site. Maybe if I have some time just for s&g.

Got the casltes looknig a little more 3D but they stilll need more work

Telvannia · Post by **Telvannia** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 3:41 pm

i will post a full set of instructions ASAP.

but i plan to put images with it to show you how to do it, so it might take me some time

New legends which need to be complete. But i think they look better already

Kaplowitz · Post by **Kaplowitz** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 4:33 pm

The small map in the legend looks different from the real one.

The dirt spots are in different spots, there is some small text, and there are little dots

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 4:55 pm

Oh yeah. . . .

The map was taking form an older layout.

But thats not important at teh moment

***runs off to fix***

Where are my trees

I bet DiM stole them when he sent me a virus earlier

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 4:59 pm

crisis over the layer was hidden

But i havent seen DiM since he went offline to scan for teh virus whichme sent me.

mibi hes dead

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 6:19 pm

PS EVERYONE DiM didnt send me a virus so hes safe for now

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Wed Jul 11, 2007 6:24 pm

lol actually i went offline cause i had to go to work. now i'm at work

about the legend. put it on top. this way people will have to scroll just to see the map. plus you'll have the title on top which is better.

you still haven't told me about the layered psd i sent you. is it ok? should i layer the other castles??

PS: telvannia. nice river. please post a tutorial on it.
