I like it, a small map with different gameplay. You could skip some of the rules so the player doesnt have to read all the manual thats attached to it. Highways are mostly redundant because regions already border each other (Zilma can attack Poprad without a highway). Also if you draw a regional border around the capitals you might not have to explain that in the legend.

I will need any help from somebody with better english

Zilina can not attack Poprad without highway. Zilina must attack SSK (region) and then attack VSK (region) and only then Porad. highway is more important for Slovakia, because there are only three regions and only two borders - ZSK with SSK and SSK with VSK.

Also if you draw a regional border around the capitals you might not have to explain that in the legend.

sounds good. need some more opinions on this.

thansk for your input.

did you just take a map from the internet and put you own graphics over it?

all that small text is really distracting from the map and the font is also not really looking great.

i mean the map itself is acceptable, but i hope you will actually draw something nicer.

You could skip some of the rules so the player doesnt have to read all the manual thats attached to it.

What I meant was: the legend is rather big.

You could reduce this by reducing the amount of rules for the game. Or make it more easy to read like this:



You will also have to make clear which regions are Czech end which regions are Slovak.

[Oneyed]

I hope legend is clear now. also graphic is completly new, I let the old map as background.

Is the map image you're using as background free of copyright?

hm, never thought about this from this view . it is old map used in public, mainly in schools...

Oneyed

[natty dread]

You need to know for 100% sure that there's no copyright on the image, otherwise you cannot use it here.

[Oneyed]

this is what I know: it is wall map for public usage, anybody could buy it in shop, there is no mention about copyright maybe because it was printed during socialism when nobody cares about copyright.

Oneyed

[natty dread]

Well, you need to be sure. That you think "no one cares about the copyright" isn't enough, you need to find out if the map is copyrighted or not. If it's in the public domain, or has a license that allows use for any purpose, then it's ok to use. Otherwise, not.

I like this one better as it doesn't look so cluttered. Much cleaner and readable!!

Second. It would look better though with the addition of textures.
