Version 28.
This map has now been split in two...a large and small version.

beautiful, beautiful

unless this is already finished, i'd like to see the road look not so 3d/round edged

asl80...in order to achieve that i'd have to remove the terts from near the roadside or place a layer over the top of the road....both would achieve disastrous results with the terte bevelling. Sorry.

Here are the XML coordinate tests for the small map:

Small Test 88:


Small Test 888:


Concerns:

1) On the small map, the following coordinate numbers go off the map when having three or more digits: Ziethen 05, Ziethen 06, v. Blucher 03.

To fix the Ziethens, you can switch the army circle with the Calvary graphic. For the v. Blucher 03, it doesn't go off for three digits, and I don't think that four digits will be necessary. So I don't think you will need to change that one.

2) On the large map, I'm thinking you will either have to make your army circles one pixel longer or one pixel shorter for heighth and length. The army count is always either one pixel too far down or too far up, and always too far left or too far right. It is impossible to have to coordinates centered.

Thanks for that...here are the new images for your centering....still posted as version 28...F5 if you can't see the changes.

Large army shadows reduced to 24 x 18, and small ones on those terts you requested re-positioned.

Appreciate your thoughts yeti_C!

[cairnswk]

I would lilke to ask if someone can start checking the xml for this map.
I have done some checking, but I would lilke someone more experienced to go over it. Perhaps Yeti_C or Forza AZ if they have the time?

Question for gameplay. The current xml allows artillery terts to attack neighbouring terts and take them over. Do we want this, or should artillery only be allowed to bombard?

Need to sort this one out....i will put up a three day poll...starting 7:30pm Jan 2 EST.

Lanyards....just some errors if i can advise...aftrer using Kevin C checker.
1. wellington needs to be able to attack U01?
2. B08 can attack B05? It shouldn't be able to?
3. L06 can attack L03 but not L04?

That's all i could find for now, please check again.

I gotta say, with those bobmardments and cavalry, you've done a fantastic job with this xml. Be very proud of yourself.

[Lone.prophet]

option 2 seems best in my opion

[yeti_c]

Yeah - Artillery should only be able to bombard...

[bryguy]

Thanks. The cavalry was very complicating and confusing, and I didn't expect to get too few errors. But about the ones you found:

1) You are correct, I'll fix that.
2) No, it should be able to. B08 borders B10 which borders B05. Right?
3) L06 borders L02 which borders L03, so it should be able, but it should not be able to attack L04. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What is this Kevin C checker? Where do I find it?

Thanks for the help.

In Map Making Tools...under the xml checker.

I'll check those other terts bordering again...it's almost work time again.

[lanyards]

Updated XML (and final hopefully) link:

[pepperonibread]

Shouldn't it be a .xml file?

[cairnswk]

Shouldn't it be a .xml file?

Yes pepperonibread....apparently .txt works on Kevin Cs checker also.

Lanyards...can you adjust this please.

I have just checked it again on Kevin Cs border checker and all looks good.

I will post the final images and xml link as soon as you have changed the file extension.

Sorry about that. Heres the real one:

Thanks lanyards....did you run this through the xml checker?

Lanyards....i think u need to do this for Any Three Villages....the required tags come before the override tags.
