[Official] British Isles REVAMP [Quenched]

[danfrank]

The new British isles map is not good for me.

The colors are worse than the ORIGINAL British isles (too pale for my taste),
The names are changed and harder to remember,
The boundaries of the territories are more fragmented,...

Maybe everything is more correct and more technically better, but ...

... I URGE YOU TO RETURN THE ORIGINAL MAP

I hate it when people post things like this. They shouldn't. Maybe this topic can be closed?
The revamp is really, really good, gimil. Thank you, well done.

Yeah, how dare someone have an opinion that differs from yours. What arrogance!

I have to agree.. They have ruined the british isle map and next there going to destroy the germany map..

It's got nothing to do with arrogance. It's all about respect.
gimil has been on this revamp for over a year. The topic has been here for the whole time aswell. And the map wasn't quenched before all discussions were cleared up. If he hates this map so bad, first of all he should have come here to comment on the drafts. And now that it's quenched he's too late and pissed about it. That's not the way to go.
I don't mind people having a different opinion. But you could come here and say

gimil, I know you've been working hard on this map, and I respect your work. But in fact, I liked the old map better.

That's a whole other thing than

... I URGE YOU TO RETURN THE ORIGINAL MAP

Why Revamp a map that had nothing wrong with it?

Jesus, guys, you don't have to constantly fool with EVERYTHING.

And you wonder why you're losing members....

Mainly because the original map was a geographical nightmare full of mistakes.

And because the original artist wanted it revamped.

Would it help people if the territory name for Oxfordshire was renamed to something like 'Oxon (Oxfordshire)' in the XML?

[saaimen]

I believe we're too easy on folks
Why can't they just read the legends? Same here as in Europa as in practically every Foundry thread I've been following...

They're not typos; the abbeviations are explained in the legend. I agree that the name in the drop-down list should come up as "Oxon/Oxfordshire" to make it clearer.

This should probably be moved to the foundry discussion or merged with the discussion thread.

[obliterationX]

I agree that the name in the drop-down list should come up as "Oxen/Oxfordshire" to make it clearer.

It's not "Oxen" (it's Oxon, CLICK HERE for more info), but I think the abbreviations are fine as they are to be honest. If people can't be bothered to read the map legend when they're playing CC they shouldn't be playing at all.

It's a new version of a map that already existed. In other words something familiar with new info. So, yes, I did not read the legend because I'd played it many times before as I didn't realize that there was that change.

How about an apology for that insult.

Stop being so defensive.


I was talking in general - if people don't read the legends before they play a map it's their fault. I didn't click this topic with some preset knowledge that this happened to you. You didn't mention in the topic that you made this mistake, so how was my "insult" aimed at you?

Thread from Sugs/Bugs merged here.

[obliterationX]

And just why are you so defensive?

[gimil]

Seem to be having a few complaints about this naming of territories. I may just change the XML to show both the abbreved version and full version.

[MrBenn]

I'd support that change...

[ManBungalow]

I'd support that change...

Ditto. I'd like to see it changed if possible (so sorry about the bump )

[NW_Tej]

Very quick and simple suggestion

can Lincolnshire be renamed "East Midlands"

why? just being specific as i am from the East midlands and lincolnshire is not at all the most important place there, also as you have midlands and west midlands, why not east midlands...makes it easier for those who are not from uk to locate places.

[keane]

I'd just like to add that I think this is a great map (although my own county isn't named ) and that I've enjoyed every game I've played on this map so far - win or lose!

Thank you to all who played a part in creating it.

[mibi]

I just took a look at this map again. It looks like shit, how did it ever get out of the foundry?

[Spartacus21C]

I have to say it - why is the Severn a mountain range? Why do the Scottish Highlands stop so far north? Where are the Pennines?

Also, a minor naming issue - the area you've called "Westmorland" is better known as Cumbria or the Lake District. I've lived in Manchester (mid-Lancashire, by this map) for as long as I can remember and spent several summers in Cumbria, and never heard of Westmorland before the game log told me it had been taken off me lol
