Incidentally, does anybody know how to edit fonts? If not... I'll look into it.
You have to raster the text first, then edit it manually. Use a marquee tool to highlight the 'S" then transform > horizontal. Or the equivalent in what ever program you are using.

If you can raster the text, the just manually edit it after you save as a jpg, and re-save. Couldn't be easier.

Of course, it's not that simple, because I make (and curve) the text and position is in two different programs, so I'd have to work with flip angles, but still very much a doable procedure. Just a pain in the neck compared to changing the font directly.

I think that's a bit of a copyright violation... best stay on the safe side and leave it.
Actually I think the game is Donkey Konga, but you don't have to.

Alternatively you could name it "Um Bongo" cos they drink that in the congo... and that's been around for so long the copyright must be too old?!

Yes, and also to Europe, and Irakistan connects to Germany, and if they weren't it would be very clear that they don't touch.

No, it's just the countries.

To the people wanting the map to misspell bonuses and to reverse the S's: this stuff is not necessary. The "kid" motif is already pretty well set. I think that backwards S's and misspelled words will just be excessive and pointless.

Also: it says that Wit is "7". When you're seven, you don't write your S's backwards. You basically know how to write things pretty well by then

I love the map, and I love the little drawings (especially the plane). Well done on the map

Glad you said it and not me, but I completely agree.

the bonysis I don´t understand completely

afriq - equal amount of boys & grrls - ok
aisha - ok

amerigo - 66.6% girls - ok
(I have heard about the momron scandal and how girls got tricked and only got half a man when it was time to marry so it makes sense.)

yurijopia bonizh - !!!?? this is werong!

two boy one gal manage a troy

When you was vacated to uropaland you must have only noticed the perdy grils. Evreupa are mostly old angry women with scarves who scream in uncountable evropänischen langwitches - and some only sound like mexican if you play it backwards at half speed.

In short: I want an old woman depicted in the bonus for Europe. She must be angry and have a cane and a scarf.

I wonder why they put stars on european flag? We have no stars - we have grumpy old women - the very essence of the european mentality.

How bizzare!

Actually..I could see a problem with the fact this map has only 18 teritories.

Correct me if I am wrong ( and stop reading ), but players cannot get 2 cards with the same territory, right?

If that so, there is 18 territories here. In a 3 player game, alright no problem.

In a 4 player game, if every player wait until they have 5 cards to cash in, that would make a total of 20 cards. Therefor, not enough territories on the map.

In a 5 player games, even getting 4 cards would be a problem.

In a 6 player game, you slap them for playing a small map.

Wouldn't that create a problem?

Doesn't seem like how it works, since colors are TOTALLY random.

And wouldn't solve the problem anyway, you could get a mixed set of 3 chinas and have a +6 bonus if you own it. Quite unfair.

Obviously..no card games is the best for this map..but..

That question actually came up earlier in the topic; it's been established that the way Conquer Club is programmed in fact allows for duplicate cards just fine.

This is indeed quite true, and while our hypothetical child is incredibly ignorant geographically, I don't see a problem with him being a decent speller.

Ok, sorry if I didn't see that fact earlier.

Quite happy that this won't cause a problem

First of all, love the map. I like the small ones they are unique!

Second, you could spell bonuses= Bone Asses

Third, I like the Canada border being not quite attached. it shows child like aptitude.

Keep up the good work!

Cool map. Good job. Looks fun.

It's got two whole scoops of Draft 14!

Issues addressed:
- ) Decided not to misspell anything too badly
- ) Moved the map down so it's more centered and there's more room for the title
- ) Moved Asia, Africa, and Europe slightly closer together
- ) Darkened some of the lowercase as
- ) Changed the Sun and Compass around a little bit

Issues not addressed:
- ) Final territory count, maybe
- ) Any other brilliant ideas

Issues maybe addressed:
- ) Added a penguin doodle up north, but then I noticed they looked like something and so:

Issues not addressed:
- ) Make the penguins look better

I personally like "Doodle Earth" more than "World 0.5" -- the latter is a nice joke but I think this one is better as it is (a) independent of World 2.1 and (b) punny.
