[Vacation - valid until Sept 2013] WWI: Gallipoli

[cairnswk]

Version 3.

1. Battleships added - suggested gameplay prompt
2. 16 starting terts sorted on Allies side - Turksih side still to do.
3. changed the landing routes and will probably need to change them again.
4. as map grows and changes, so does the legend.

How did I miss this map? It is amazing. Trying to figure out most of it. But
1. Huge number of territories,
2. Complex Gameplay
That is all you need. This map is done, right there.

Beautiful graphics. Nice new style.

Forts are kind of hard to see.
The Turkish Crossing points could use some work
What is the line down the center of the map?

I like that you have made the starting points uneven. Makes a whole new strategy depending on the drop, and not a bad thing. Good to add even more factors to how you play.

You are way too good at this stuff. Your versions 3 (for the latest few maps) are good enough to be sent to the main foundry, in my opinion. Keep up the good work.

Comments anyone?

Are the purple glows around Achi Baba and Chunuk Bair, going to have black strokes like the rest of them? or are they something different?

The "Forts: Land Attack or sea bombard" are a lot better

1. Yes, they will be inproved those ridge indicators are simply there for the moment because they are easy to grab in a separate layer from the map and don't interfere with the black lines.
2. yes, i quite like the forts also

I'll be putting up another version later today.

2. Landing craft changed
3. left legend changed slightly

If you're really gonna make the beaches mean something, they seem very overshadowed by some of the army shadows. Of course, you have the lines so no biggie, unless you have some thing in mind

I disagree with the suggested gameplay. I would think it is break out, kill the people next to you, then bombard. If you break out and start off going to land, I don't think you are going to be that successful when others come at you from behind.

Sorry .44, i don't understand what you're on about here.

OK, you can play whatever gameplay you want.
The suggested gameplay is there to indicate what the real battle was like and it is only "a suggestion".

I mean, the beaches aren't too visible with the army circles on top of 'em + there isn't much contrast between them and the other land. But it's not that big of a deal because the lines are already there (which by the way I think could be a little more apparent).

Change of Software

As yhou can see from the image below, which is not yet finished conversion, i am changing the map from using Fireworks to CorelDraw.

I have long wanted to do something with Coreldraw, as it is a step towards learning Illustrator etc. but this takes time for me.

so, please, no remarks about things being missing, i will refresh the image as it becomes more complete.

Version 6 updating to continue...

[cairnswk]

Mmmm, sorry had to change the sea colour

[the.killing.44]

Wow it looks a whole lot better. Are you going to keep the glow on the left side (of the key) and not the right? To me it makes it unbalanced, but that might just be me and my bit of orderer's OCD.
