San Francisco [Quenched]

wow this is nice and different to every other map we have. I think you put colours that are too alike too close to each other. The continent with Golden Gate Park in it should swap colours with the continent with San Pablo in it.

[Jgood]

Dude, this is nice! what no San Bruno though? what about the Airport? j/k

good idea. i did similar colors next to eachother because there used to be bonuses for holding entire large areas, but now that thats gone...no reason to not move the colors around. ill work on that too.

yellow's color doesnt match the key very well (for the continent)

Now that you've removed the Alameda ferry connection, how am I going to get to Giants games?

go watch the As or something. youre probably just bitter that we got Zito now...woot!

i like it. Still having trouble with the water - it's so flat, it ruins the 3D landscape. There has to be some way of adding some perspective to the bay to give it the illusion of depth.

Location of the Fisherman's Wharf army circle could be confused for Pac Heights or Fin. Dist... not by anyone who's paying attention, but it's an easy fix and so probably worth moving up a bit..

if you are using photoshop, can you try a drop shadow?

Bitter? You bet I'm bitter. Most A's fans are, but not because of Zito. Fremont my ass.

Oakland A's: zero splash hits, four world championships.

-cleared pixel between protrero hill and hunters point
-changed continent colors around
-raised fishermans wharf text and army shadow
-darkened water so it doesnt stand out as much...

opinions?

The water on the previous version looked better to me. Regardless, I don't like this one. I don't like any of the fonts. They're very plain and unattractive, though I do appreciate the effort for legibility that most people disregard in early versions of maps.

Also, though I realize the impassable borders are somewhat thicker than the passable ones, they just aren't distinguished enough for easy viewing. Maybe make them a different color or a different texture or... I don't know.

Not being from SF, the only 2 things I know about the place are the Golden Gate bridge and Alcatraz; neither of which are marked on the map.

Is it possible to include at least one of these as a marked feature?

Maybe the bridge could be a territory within the two regions it connects, such as happens with the space stations of the space map?
Control of access/movement is a significant strategic advantage of course.

I like the look and feel, i.e. colors, shades fonts etc.

Cheers

there arent impassible borders, the thicker ones are just continent borders.

had both at one point or another in the process. the golden gate bridge is between marin headlands and the presidio. i had it as a territory but didnt like it too much.

Alcatraz is the little red island next to the F in fishermans wharf, i could enlarge it and make it a territory, the idea has been thrown around...

Hmm, I didn't realize at all then.

[johloh]
