Did you change the fat yet? It looks the same to me.
This map looks like it's going to be VERY fun to play, I can't wait.

That is a motivation cheer! Let's get it on.

thanks for the motivation, after that I worked on it for half an hour, but now I need to go to sleep. I'm finding it difficult to find the time, work is crazy and the kids need my attention.

I will get it done eventually.

Best Wishes,
Dana

We know real life takes priority so take your time and take care of that first.

Cheers

Still looking forward to this one. Keep up the good work!

Hi all,

Finally got a little time to work on your comments.
I liked the idea of butcher of the day, but in my opinion adding another board makes the map too cluttered.

Think I tackled the rest of the comments, but let me know if I missed anything, because I probably did.

Best Wishes,

Dana, can you please update the OP with both maps with the 888's, CB tests, map with the any starting positions and starting neutrals please.

Can I get some feedback on the changes first. If the peers at be like what I've done I'd be happy to provide a small version and a cb version with the starting neutrals represented at their starting value. Not sure what OP stands for?

My point is I've gotten a lot of little changes recently and seems a waste of my time to keep making CB versions when the changes I'm making don't effect the past version of CBs or neutrals.

I appreciate when you are all happy I will need to provide a final CB version, but when I do I'd like there to be a reasonable chance of it actually being final.

Hope that makes sense.

Best wishes,
Dana

OK thanks for clearing that up. I'll wait a while and see if I get any other feedback first.

No problem.

Looks good, I like it! Keep up the work, Dana.

The fat looks much more consistent with the rest of the map now. Ok, I'm ready to play.

Getting excited on this one for sure

Ok I was looking around pretty closely on this map and I'm under the impression that the legs/tail will be what you want to secure early on and will probably decide each game in the long run. That being said, the legs/tail parts are not entirely equal as far as borders/tert counts are concerned. Do you think this will be an issue with drops? So I suppose this is a bonus structure question?

Remember that the Special borders all of these territories.

The best way to find out is to play

I'll post the CB and small version this weekend in hopes of getting a graphics sticker.

I feel that having 5 such bonuses makes it okay.

All good points, guys. I just thought I would throw it out in the off chance it was overlooked. As Dana says, the beta stage will tell for certain.

dana, while you are doing the final things for the small map, can I get you to look at the star in the title. The top and bottom two points have a bad look to it. Can you try to smooth them out a tad.

Ok here's all the versions I think I need to deliver to get a graphics sticker?

I worked on the star in the logo a little in an attempt to clean it up more but we are only talking a few pixels at the current resolution. I have a much larger version if it's an issue, but in terms on game play it will make no difference.





Best Wishes,
Dana

Bump!

Ok-ok... I've got 2 tiny issues, get these cleared up and you should be ready to go. The star in the title is... off. The center of the star has some pixelly edges and the skirt effect is uneven. The bottom right point doesn't seem to match the rest of the text at all.

And forgive my dirty mind.... but what is that bit sticking out of the Outer Skirt? Might be best to just round that out.

I don't actually like this map, but as a point of fairness I have to come to its defense here.

The "cow" in question is actually a steer -- genetically male, but not functionally male because the testicles were removed during its infancy. The protrusion is, as you suspect, the front of the penile envelope. However, since this is a steer, its penis was never used for reproduction but only for urination, so even the most extreme puritan should not be offended.

You're right about the star, though...
