We'll see. Fort Sumter is like the center of the map. I'm not sure about this yet.

Not really. It's kind of Left to Right. Would you think a minimap would work better with so many different shades of colors?
Kaplowitz, ZeakCytho, TaCktiX, edbeard, Optimus...
The bridges as they are now.... will be no longer. ZeakCytho wrote:Could you make the water a bit darker? More...water colored? Keep it lighter closer to land and darker farther away, but darken the whole thing.
That's more of a personal preference. I worked a lot on trying to add subtle patterns to the water - but it just didn't work. There are too many rivers. I also tried darker water, and it clashed too much with the lands. I added a slight gradient so the water actually does get darker as it goes out to sea - I can try to deepen that a bit. But overall, I think I'm not adding patterns to this map (both land & sea). I want an easy on the eye, 60 territ map, with clear territories, and clear attack routes.

There's a typo in the East Ashley in the legend.
Sure.

Woopps - I'll get that next.

I didn't even notice that. Again, sometimes I get mired in the details, I lose site of the big picture. I'll adjust either the trees or the territories so they are not separated.

Sorry man - I would have liked it also, but I just couldn't get it to work.
Optimus Prime wrote:I think the trees are a pretty good start for the impassable borders. Although, perhaps mix them up just a little bit as far as color and style are concerned. Make it look more like a real forest, a few with pointy tops, a few with rounded tops, and a variation of different shades of green perhaps? Nothing too drastic, just break up the repetitive round shape of the tree-tops a little bit.
Hmmm... The whole style of this map is looking very vector based, as opposed to raster like most maps are. I kind of think the circle tree's all of the same size kind of fit the style. However, I'll work on giving them some more variety. Maybe a few pines in there would be kind of cool.
Also - I'm not done with water attack routes and island connectors. I just posted this update to get some feedback, mainly on the bridges, which was loud and clear. Thanks everyone.
