To clarify on my post, I think the texture is a little odd; it doesn't quite fit. More importantly, I think it makes the map look a lot more busy than it needs to be. If you want to use a texture, I suggest something much more subtle. Hopefully this helps :?

-Sully

So you want something that is flatter. without the lumps and bumps?

I mean, I think it could work, so long as it's more subtle.

-Sully

And you are only talking about the ground texture - not the mountains?

Correct.

Okay, before the stamp comes out I just want to confirm a couple of things from ian's suggestion a little while ago:
are we looking at 104 regions total, 3 starting neutrals, 1 existing normal neutral plus normal neutrals on the 3 extra regions i requested?

Normal +1 for 3 regions and 1 underlying neutral start position per player? if so, then this gives 29 regions each for 1v1, 22 for 2v2, 19 for 3v3 and 11 for 4v4 and this is good for a stamp.

Does this look about right about right cairns? I couldn't find exactly where ian made his request, so I'm going by what he pm'd me. Let me know and we can get this stamped!! ;)

isaiah40, This is the only communication i can find from ian about starting neutrals.

From my understanding:
Idlers Solwara, Pot Mosbi Pasis, Walters Solwara - are killer neutrals resetting to 2 at the beginning of each turn - these are the 3 killer neutrals ian referred to above.
Tokarara - 2 starting neutral
Saraga, Waigani, and Gabatu - 3 starting neutral (requested from ian above)

I also think a neutral is needed on Karabosea - since Boroko is a 3 terr region also.

I've also re-worked the army circles, and sorry Sully, but some positions have changed due to manouevering to fit in.

Please F5 to see the changes in V9 above.

This makes a total of 104 - 8 neutrals = 96 starting terr's.

Could we add in another starting neutral? I would think that should work.

Sure, where would you like it - perhaps 3 neutral on Bigpela Gavman Distrik?

That could work, though I was thinking of one of the utilities or parks. Any way would be fine with me.

Jeez, this is like the third time I thought I posted here already, ha.

Texture looks okey dokey to me! The new troop circles, however, look pixel-y to me.

Yes i agree about the troop circles but it might just be something in the CD image translation.
I'll check it out. I don't think it is a major one though.

I love how creative this map is! One thing though, the legend text describing that you need to hold at least one tribe to stay in the game is too small. I think you should either increase the size of it or change the text colour or texture to signalize that this is important information.

Postby cairnswk on Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:45 pm

After sully asked for new texture, i inadvertantly saved over the last file.
So i had to re-create from V8.
This is the adjusted version 9 with new texture, and i have returned to the old army circles, hoping they don't show the pixelation that was occuring in Coreldraw to .png translation.

Phew! Thanks Sully :)

So is there any thing else that needs to be discussed re this gameplay?

In summary, we've covered:
* map size
* golden numbers and required neutrals and probability drop tool
* starting positions and starting numbers
* bonuses
* tribe set up access to a easy/middle range bonus zone and any advantage from that
* legend arrangement for continents
* continent colour consistency with mini-map
* impassables

Graphics touched on:
* army circles
* legend colours consistent with the map
* losing condition text size
* ground texture
* trees and overall aesthetics
* text legibility
* continent placement in legend

I think that about it. :)

Can't think of anything else! I don't know if you've changed the ocean much but it looks very good now at least.

Since there has been no real gameplay suggestions lately, and I'm happy with the way everything is right now, I do hereby brand this!

While this has been stamped, if any other game play issues are brought up, it is still expected that the mapmaker addresses those issues.
