[gimil]

oh oh oh oh . . .

i think i jsut peed a little

[bryguy]

great map, might play it a little but not that much

[oaktown]

alright, now that we've hit the Forge where's the last-minute problem crew? After what I've put them through, certainly Tisha and Bloknayrb owe me a few rounds of 'Nitpick The Map.'

I'll be away from my home computer for the next two weeks, so pile up your concerns and I'll address them all after the new year. Happy Holidays everyone!

actually, this is the first time I've ever made a map with mountains. I copy/pasted them onto the first draft of the maya map just to get a draft out there, but have since redone it.

just tested the xml: 0 errors, 4 predicted warnings (double dipping)
just tested the links on the multiblah site, and all seems good to go

Your map is looking great, but i think the city bonus is a bit steep seeing as there is only 4 cities, you get a bonus of one for three cities and then it shoots up to 5. (i apologise if this has already been said) I like the subtle colours of this map although the images that represent the cities just doesnt seem to fit with the style of the map. Other than that is is looking great.

I actually agree with you - I liked it better when it was at +4, but I was overruled.

Thanks... I like the look of the cities but I concede that with the lighter colors they do pop out a bit. I'd be open to reworking them if others agree that it's worth doing.

If you have some alternative in mind, I'd be open to seeing it, but if not I'm pretty pleased with the current option. I honestly don't know what a good representation of a Scottish town would be.

hey nice job! graphically, this is actually he bes map EVER, as in I actually think it's the nicest map in the entire site!
I really like the colour and texture, they make this map so comfortable to look at

[oaktown]

right, overall I like the little city images... I've toned them down just a touch, as they had the only white pixels on the entire map. I've also increased the point size of the city bonus legend, because it's pretty important and I felt it didn't stand out enough on the small map.

In light of the fact that we chose to err on the side a small bonus with Grampian, I suggest we do the same with the cities and make it +4. Both have four borders - why is one a +3 and the other a +5? As there may be further discussion about the city bonus, I have prepared FOUR versions of the map; large and small at +5, large and small at +4.
large map, +5 cities: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/ ... land23.jpg
small map, +5 cities: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/ ... and233.jpg
large map, +4 cities: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/ ... land24.jpg
small map, +4 cities: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r76/ ... and24s.jpg

If you all decide you prefer the smaller bonus, balsie will have to update the xml.

Here's the current map, large and small, in it's +5 versions.

Not that they're any different, but here are the maps with +4 city bonuses... ooh, better...
