Nobunga... if you kill our chances of a first nations of Africa I'm gonna kill you ;)

Regarding the bonus situation int he north... throw up a poll and let the numbers decide. Everyone likes voting in an anonymous poll, right?

A poll will show people want this map to move on.

BTW - Your slight jab at simple maps..... Most of CC enjoys the simple maps so this foundry move to more complex maps is ill advised, unless you want to put out tons of maps that very few people play. Yes sure variety is good, but just as in anything in life, you make the proper amounts of each.

The thing with "simple maps" is that you can only do so many "simple maps" before they all start to repeat each other... I mean, what's the point of having 600 classic maps with maybe slightly different territory connections?

Sorry but I disagree entirely. The first thing I thought when I found this site was "Holy Shit! Online Risk! With maps from all around the world!!!" It's the whole reason I joined this site in the first place. I like risk. The classic game, but just one world map isn't enough. Maybe you get tired of classic maps but I don't, and I don't think it's fair to say that there's no point in having 600, 700, or even a million of them.

There can never be enough. There will always be more to conquer!


No offense Natty, just had to get that out there.

Back on topic:

Well, Tisha, what's your choice? How are you going to handle bonus drops?

I didn't mean any offense to the mapmaker or those that enjoy "simple maps" as I enjoy simple maps myself. To be honest, I think a first nations of Africa would actually be pretty cool and still different enough to be a worthy map to make. Plus Tisha has the proven graphical flair to pull it off nicely.

As for the central american ordeal, I think it ought to be fine the way it is. Or at the very least throw in a link from carribean to somewhere in central America, perhaps even Guaymi.

I agree, I have always felt like there should be another Africa map, and I think first nations would be a great way to do it!

As for the central american ordeal, I think it ought to be fine the way it is. Or at the very least throw in a link from carribean to somewhere in central America, perhaps even Guaymi.


I also agree. Either leave it how it is or ad that link, but I think it's time to pick one and move on.

and just for the record I think it's fine how it is, if it proves to be a problem in Beta ad that link then.

I've added a territory to the right of Potiguara, and will turn one of the Chilean territories Neutral.. but I'm not messing with Meso-America/North Andes..

Looks good to me.

Hopefully this will put my colleagues in the Graphics state of mind as I have a few graphical suggestions:

Move the Passable/Impassable above the bonus legend?

I'll give it two days for final problem sweeps, though I doubt there'll be any.

Congratulations on the stamp ;-)

My first thought is that you can lose a bit of dead space by cropping the left edge of the map much closer to the C of Chorotega and shifting the key to the right a bit.

The map is very nice, i think you want to use the same graphic style used in the other map....so i'd suggest to try to crop the dead space as suggested by MrBenn and then add the blue of the water. You can also try to make the bridges more noticeable, btw are you happy with them? if i'm not wrong you didn't like them so much....
Another thing you should consider is to test the colors, for example Central Andes and South Andes don't look so good testing the map with vischeck:

Finally i'd suggest to move a bit Igneri (label & island) to have more free space for the troops number and to make the connection with Arawak more noticeable (i think that on the small version the connection will be hard to see)

Looking forward your next update ;)

I'd say, swap the colours of South andes & Chilean, that should do it.

It's a little hard to tell what continent Carib is part of. Not sure what's the best way to fix that.

You could artificially enlarge those islands?
