[Abandoned] - Era of the Three Kingdoms

[sam_levi_11]

Api-Yai is Yong Chang, yueh sui is Yunnan and Jianti divided into two. Tsang-ke is Zhuti.

pa-tung is Han Zhong, wu-tu is yin ping and Fu lin is Baxi and Ba dong (left-right) divided straight down. Yong-an is Ba.

i can provide maps if needed.

ok the prob with this map is that it only has the names of them not the borders of their provinces so u have to compare with your map

i THINK nan is jing nan and but sum confirmation would be great, im pretty sure tung an is wuxing and im pretty sure jian ling is yu zhang meanwhile Lin - Ch'uan is Lin Hai.

so i dunno how u split yeuh sui but its two

Change the darkness of some terr names and tried to make black borders more crisp.

Out of curiosity, what do blue army numbers look like on the dark Wei territories?

Also, this seems like an advanced idea to me now.

Wow, CC mapmakers love making maps of China! I like the escalating bonuses on this one - classic gameplay with a twist.'

My initial thought is that overall the map seems a bit cluttered right now... main map, three inset maps, chinese characters, region names, and major bonus legend under the title; elements need to be set apart somehow.

Anyhow, consider yourself stickied.

There are some weirdnesses in the text that im noticing now... for example, Jian Ling has a pretty big space. Also Tsang- K'e...

The quote is a good idea, but i like:

Do the unexpected, attack the unprepared.

Just nitpicking, the mini-map for Northern Shu has a strange little line coming out of the right side...

Congratz on Idea Passed Cant wait to play this one!

edit: Oaktown, shouldn't this be moved...

personally i have no idea wut this all means, and didn't even bother to read the thread, but i agree with t-o-m. he makes a good point, you [mod censored]

[gimil] We dont like trolls, play nice albertq[/gimil]

[albertq]

that was a flame not a troll gimil! anyway i made a fair point in the first part of my post, please consider it

[albertq]we don't like gimil people, be warned[albertq]

[sam_levi_11]

gimil, either completely go with the first type of name that is more recognisable, or go back to original one as at the moment the name thing looks crap half half.

the escalating bonus' are good and most bonus' are pretty well done but central wei should be worth 6. There are so many teritorys and it was alos the place in 3k china with the most people with huge citys like xia pi, chang an(wei capital 1), xu chang (wei capital 2) and then the heavily contested area of jie ting which shu conquered at one point before having to withdraw due to internal troubles, meaning they did not win the war by taking the lands of wei.

also lu ling and nan hai should be connected if we want realism, but if it may be to detriment of fairness as it would make southern wu worth even more, however it would be evened out if yue sui was split, and the cont worth 3 and central wei was increased by 1 bonus. then they would all increase by 1

My bad - got ahead of myself. I meant to sticky it, not stamp it.

I guess you can all tell i don't spend muc time here in the Ideas forum.

Could you include a bonus for holding the capital cities of the three kingdoms?

Best post I have ever seen in the Foundry.

[Sir. Ricco]

Sorry for the double post, but the bonuses are a lot better. Seen to be a little bit more fair. I like the graphic a lot, really nice work on those.

[gimil]

Moved stuff about and changed a few colours. Tweeked terr names as well.

[seamusk]

you know, I've always liked this map gameplay wise. Gameplay is its strength right now.

Not sure I'm crazy about the graphics though. They aren't terrible, but the map is very very dark. I tend to avoid dark maps and I'm sure others do too. You've made a lot of progress with the lettering but the dark blue area in the top right is completely illegible to me. I also think that having the name of the one territory completely outside the territory without any connecting reference throws me off. It took me a few seconds to interpret that.

I don't know. I really like this map conceptually as I commented on when I first saw it. At least the territories need to be lightened whether that means a shading difference or using a background that brings out the light more I'm not sure.
