I like Labyrinth which is a map in Beta...
At one time it had cups scattered around the map which was called FOOD and if gathered gained a bonus..

(Idea for this map)
You should do something like that as well - add a scatter bonus - maybe toss different types of foods all over the map and if the player gathers all the food - or maybe just gains any food - then they get a bonus of some type..

Just an idea... .

Aleena, this url viewtopic.php?f=242&t=174289&start=45#p4002301
links to that idea i had some time ago and some people didn't like it...they wanted simple.
Thanks for your idea...at this stage unless there is massive support ( like over 20 players commenting) for putting the food back (in some sort of version) i'll give it a miss.

Agreed with cairns, I remember that talk about the scatter bonus, all it added was confusion and delay (too much Thomas the tank engine). This to go back cairns?

Having a territory touching a border, but not actually border it? Your best bet is going to be rearranging stuff in there so DD is completely within N. Somali. Having the territory name, or even the army circle run over a little isn't going to cause the confusion having the little DD box on the border will.

I beieive this has been fixed.

RedBaron0 wrote:Seems the production of this map has stalled... likely due to rl schooling priorities we all know cairns is up to. This map for the time being will be considered to be on vacation for maximum of 6 months. Should the mapmaker wish to continue this project please contact any CA, once an update is made. Gameplay standards may change between now and when (or if) ever the the project it picked back up. Further gameplay scrutiny may be required upon return to the Foundry, at the discretion of the CA's.

An update was done 25 June, yet the map still sits in the Recycling box!

Where are the bonus values?

on the map

I also think with a light map like this you do not need army circles? Seems a bit unneeded?

fair enough, but not necessarily my view

I'd agree with Bruce, the bevel around them now also makes the circles vaguely look like pimples on the map.

The outline around the Red Sea is also oddly different from the other lines on the map.

Pimples yes i agree, but i like them like that...somewhat different from other maps

Yes it is isn't it? but i am happy with it.

although i will adjust the opacity of the pimple there.

I think the pimples look pretty unique and cool. Looks like glass disks that have been placed over a cloth map at the strategic locations, awaiting miniature figurines of Dragoons to be placed atop them

Graphics look great to me - nothing I would specifically want to change - the cities insets are particularly ace :-)

You know, it just occured to me (and it may be more political than you care to get) but the region currently labeled "Northern Somalia" would be much more accurately named "Somaliland" as that region has been a de facto sovereign state for over 20 years now. See the wikipedia article: Somaliland
Then of course you could just call what you have as "Southern Somalia" simply "Somalia" and poor old Puntland will just have to wait for another CC map to make an appearance on.

Yes that is modern political perchorin, had you brought it up earlier it might have been considered but i don't want to change the map now since it has been gameplay stamped.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Version 12.
Adjusted the army circles opacity, and added signature and date in somewhat ethiopian style

I think this is just asking for a territory name change, but that's subjective and completely up to the mapmaker.

I believe the color your using for Northwest is very very light and can stand to be a more distinct shade of green.

Yes i understand, but i don't think it is necessary and will require border change, and that may lead to adding two southern regions, which i do not want to go to.

Fixed with darker green

Version 13.

I think the orange of south west now is also too light, mainly in comparison to the other bonus regions. It can also stand an uptick or two in color. And is it me, or is the green bonus regions have a wider girth than the other color bands?

You were correct, the green was larger because i had the setting on precise instead of softer.
I've also adjusted the colours on the mini-map

Version 14
