Stopped playing for good now (at least I think so ). So if anyone likes this idea just take it over and continue.

New map 2007-03-19

I will address the issues in this thread later. Just want to post the new map right away. The most interesting aspects are:
- The change that Hovedstaden was removed, and Storstrom was introduced
- The connection from Sjaelland to Norhtern Jutland
- The removal of a small map outside Middle Jutland.
- The new graphic design.

[Guiscard]

Could work.

[Ruben Cassar]

I think it would be nice to have a Denmark map.

[Loki557]

I like the idea.

[Danbemp]

whats denmark?

kidding.

yeah man, that is a good idea, definitely go for it.

[Samus]

Well, here's my initial reactions.

I noticed your image is 700px wide. Since the small map needs to be 600px wide (the large one 800px wide), I would suggest slightly moving the outlying island to the left so that you can crop off 100px and make this your small map.

I'm not quite certain what are territories and what are not. I count around 28, and in my opinion (other disagree) no map should be fewer than 32 territories. Try to add some more territories and label them so we can give you more specific advice on that.

Denmark is a great idea.

Here is a map to help you out:

Couldnt find the territory names though

[Mr Tumbler]

Ok, will increase the number of territories and give them names etc. Will take a few days though. Will be back.

I agree, Denmark has a very interesting geography for a small map. I say go for it. Twenty-seven countries however, is a small number. If you can, I suggest splitting some of them up and shoot for 36+

Six continents seems like a very reasonable number. The original Risk map has six continents. However, you have 3-5 countries in each continent. That is an okay number for one of them, but for all six to have that many is a little too few.

I'd suggest making a ferry line from that orange island (on the east side of the mainland) to the nearest blue country.

My suggestion for cotinent worth (on the current map. On a different map, the number may vary):
Yellow - 2
Purple - 3
Brown - 2
Green - 3
Blue - 4
Orange - 3

[qwert]

Of course, we have Nederland, Germany,England map, and my opinion its to have all European country map, if these posible.

[Wisse]

yeah if rev kyle does something about france we have that one
bad speler is nearly finisht with liberia then we have already much european countrys

[Mr Tumbler]

2 concrete suggestions!

Suggestion 1:



Regions:
NORDJYLLAND (Orange) - 2
MIDTJYLLAND (Blue) - 7
SYDDANMARK (Green) - 3
FYN (Brown) - 5
SJAELLAND (Purple) - 5
HOVEDSTADEN (Yellow) - 2

Suggestion 2:



NORDJYLLAND (Orange) - 2
MIDTJYLLAND (Blue) - 7
SYDDANMARK (Green) - 3
FYN (Brown) - 5
SJAELLAND (Purple) - 5
STORSTROM (Yellow) - 2


Please any danes! What about the naming of the regions, the divisions, the connections etc? I'm doing my very best, but I might do mistakes.

Also, I have used the danish names for everything, but replaced all danish ø's to simple o, and all danish æ's to ae. Is this a good replacement strategy.


Notes:

There are now 36 "countries"

There is an error in the map. Falster is connected to Vordingborg, missed a re-coloring of that connection.

The suggested bonuses by Nokura I think are too small. I think we need rather big bonuses, at the level suggested here, or only slightly less.

[boberz]

i like this idea a lot the whole map need to be lighter though

edit: (to the below post) yes thats exactly what i mean more appealing that way, could also consider the flag, title and other generally pretty stuff

[Mr Tumbler]

What do you mean with lighter? Lighter colors on the sea, the countries etc?
