Rail Europe [Quenched]

[sam_levi_11]

maybe in the unused area near scily(sp), you could put another picture, one that makes the map seem more european. something like the eiffel tower, sagrada familia, tower of london...

Bonus board at the top of the map? Comments.

Ack!! The legend needs to stay at the bottom. The map looks odd with it at the top.

I think there better on the bottom, give some difference from railUS.

As for making it more european, adding images of different country landmarks probably isnt the best way to go. You can really make something feel european since there isnt a proper cultural sterotype to go by since the concept of "europe" is still fairly new if you know what i mean.

THe only real way i feel you could describe europe is politically which also isnt the way to go for this map i feel.

I like the legend at the top in RailUSA - it allows me to see the whole map, have the BoB HUD visible, see the list of players, etc., because I can scroll the legend off the screen. I think it's a good way to go.

The size issue has now been resolved (thanks CAs and Andy) in favour of this map:

So, to recap, these are the size limits we will be enforcing:
Small map: height=600 pixels, width=630 pixels
Large map: height=800 pixels, width=840 pixels (800 pixels recommended)

as this map was started before all these new restrictions, and thereofore Version 30 above will go forward from here.

This will include feedback that the legend is best at the bottom. Thanks everyone for your opinions.

An update would be helpful please gimil!

in the legend, the colons and initial letters of the route names don’t line up with each other. this looks a bit untidy.

move the box for LVP by 5mm southward to be closer to liverpool’s actual location.

i think the STATIONS text ought to read “station names (not stations names) are 3-letter city code (not 3 letter station code), full city name, 1-letter (not 1 letter) service code”. this will make it consistent with the ATTACKING text, which includes the phrase “stations in same city”, implying that the 3-letter code is a city code, not a station code.

otherwise neat.
