[Abandoned] - Chess

[newline]

personally I like with the A,B,C 1,2,3 cause you can attack empty squares, but if you are going to go with the labeling black peices are lower case while whit's are UPPER. the correct labeling is Queen:Q King:K Rook:R Knight:K Bishop:B Pawn:P


on a new topic: the board is completely messed up. the pawns are on the wrong sides, both kings are in check, and anyone with some knowledge of the game would never leave multiple pieces hanging.

other than that I like the idea, keep up the work.

numbers has to go from down to up
letters has to go from right to left

H G F E D C B A

There's a huge difference

[unriggable]

Lot of space wasted on instructions, make them not as prevalent in the image by sizing down the text & pictures. We are focused on the map after all.

Hes what i see:
1.In legend Letters is very bright.
2.Who size of board is for White and who size is for Black?
3.You need explane attack route.
4.How you will put Army numbers?

Well, it seems like there's finally some discussion about this map, now that it looks somewhat professional. I took some of your suggestions and redid the graphics, and the latest version of the map is here. Comment and suggest like always.

Why starting a thread in the foundry? this topic will move there once the moderators think it's time to move there...

as for the map:

I like the idea...

-I don't know if you tryed this but maybe you can make the pieces look some more 3D...maybe that looks good?
-I don't get the '+1 per piece of the same colour...
So if you own 2 pawn's of whit you get +2
Or you get +1 if you own 2 of the same colour?

-For the rest of the map...play a bit around with everything, I'm sure you can do better

My main concern is that the pieces are in an illegal position - both kings are in check - and this is impossible in a game...

Also the black pieces are hard to see on the black squares...

However the board and the rest of the map looks sweet...

I think you've got the king and queen the wrong way round yeti...

Bugger - I didn't look properly - I looked at this thread the other day and they were both in check...

You're right tho - this is sorted now... ignore that point!!

But the black on black problem is still evident.

Question - can black pieces attack other black pieces? Obviously has a major impact on strategy... Love the idea – hope you stick with it.

There seems to be a great deal of support for the idea of a chess map, but this topic has gone inactive twice, even after I took people's suggestions and made updates. This thread is ready for the Foundry in my opinion... it would certainly get more activity there. It would be a shame to see this idea die after 6 updates and support from the community.



Anyway, I made a modification. The Objective feature that I saw in Age Of Might gave me an idea. The objective of this map could be to have every piece of a color, plus the opposing king, similar to a 'checkmate' in real life chess. Also, the name is changed from 'Conquer Club Chess' to simply 'Chess'. This is partly because it gives me more room, and partly because I don't want it confused with Cairns Coral Coast. (One of my favorite maps, by the way.)

[bryguy]

why are the kings in check??? and i like the idea, but the map could use some modifications maybe (still looking at it so ill let u know)

[bryguy]

ok, i see one thing that may be hard, the objective.



of course thats just from a coding point of view, cause its hard enough already to code

[Herakilla]

neither king is in check

but as to how the queens got in that HORRID position i do NOT want to know, no matter what either player does BOTH of those queens are dead meat
