Macedonia map [Gp, Gr, X, BETA, Qnchd.]

[fumandomuerte]

I agree with Natty and PB, a simple mini-map could do the job
But if you decide to use the current boxes I'm OK with that, just arrange them as Andy suggested.

Hi guys,
thank you for your thoughts, i am on a business trip this week so we must wait for the next update until next week.

During the last update, it looks like you've played aroubnd with some grunge layers, and done something strange in the Tetovo area - it looks like there's a line where something's been erased??

MrBenn - is this about the mountain ridge line in tetovo region?

No - it's specifically about a big fat pale blobby line around 30px wide in the Tetovo region. If you switch between the last two images, it jumps right at you (well, it did to me )

I think the map is fine without a mini-map.

I like it, I like it, I like it.

I hope after this map is released, you stick around and create a few more ideas!

Hi all,
Forza AZ checked the XML and said (in pm) it was OK!

What's next ?

I think you need sample images of the map with 88's and 888's as positioned by the XML, so legibility can be confirmed. Use the Map Inspect feature of the Conquer Club Map Maker tool to produce the images and post them here.

I checked it on the mapmaker, and they all look fine to me.

I have checked it with 999 and 666 and random with the mapmaker - its all fine, i will post the images if necessary (i will anyway) but, anyone can check for whatever numbers on the mapmaker...

Here, 999:

Also, here's a copy from the info posted in the xml check thread and a link to mapmaker so anyone can test:

Here are the 88 and 888's:

Perhaps you could move the numbers so they won't go over the lakes on Ohrid & Resen. Other than that I can't see anything to complain about.

[n.n.]

Thats intentional in fact - its more clear that way that the lakes are not separate territories.

That being said, its not consistent on both the large and small map, so, again, we need to decide on that one - move the numbers away from the lakes or not?
(and, as we all know, it is like a 5 minute xml change really so - not a problem, just a question we can resolve quickly, i am pro numbers over lakes, natty is obviously not, anyone else?)

I think that's clear enough from the fact that there's only one army number there...

Move them away. They numbers look clearer on the land.

ok!

XML is updated (tested ok, no errors, same link and file as before just with some changed XY coordinates):

You don't need a new XML check just for a coordinate change... at least I never asked for one.

[n.n.]

What i need is a XML stamp )))))))))))))

[ender516]

Yes, this is looking very good. Excelsior!

[AndyDufresne]

Looking good indeed.
