ah...patches of ground that are not occupied by the armies....would be my guess.

well they might as well be walls or hedges since they function as impassibles yet arn't listed. Also, they just seem weird, triangular patches and such.

but
1. does the map have to be filled up 100% - i don't think so.
2. since they represent earth and are clearly such to the extend that you're the only person who has mentioned them, it seems to me that they don't have to be mentioned in the impassables - it is evident that terts don't meet at these places therefore can't be used as borders.
3. wierd triangular peices they might be, but i think they actually fit the map.
4. sometimes i think that overstating/legendising the obvious is a burden on what people have to take in....

alright, well it's no big deal, just seems like an anomaly.

Thanks mibi...i don't think its a big deal...and as i said i haven't heard from anyone else about it being a distraction.

Are there any other comments from anyone on anything else (apart from the number of territories and size of gameplay) on this map?

Comments anyone?

I have to ask the question...is everyone reasonable happy with this map?

by **AndyDufresne** on Sun Dec 16, 2007 1:16 pm

I like it.

=======

I feel the top text: "On 18 June..." gets a little lost in the top of the map. There isn't much room, but perhaps a division line between it and everything below it would kind of set it off a little.

Also the impassable text (as in "brick walls," "hedge rows," and "Brussels Rd" looks a little faint and faded. I think some of the text on this map feels a little too thin for my eyes.

I'd also see if you can make your signatures a little more legible...if you want people to easily read them.

Its too complex for me but it looks amazing!

I agree, it is a little hard to read the names at the bottom right.

Thanks Andy....much appreciated!

Spinwizard...you'd be surprised how uncomplex it really is when you get in there and do a proper examination.

Anyways....changes as requested above by Andy are in the Version 24 maps below

Small

Large

I think you might want to include the dirt/brown areas in the impassables list.

Remember that someone asked about the grass on Madness. So, if that can't figure that out, then this probably won't make sense to them either.

I think it's fine without it, but I guess it 'kinda' makes sense. If it's not listed, then there might be a reason.
