Arctic Map [Quenched]

[millej11]

It will ber interesting to see what some of the strong holds are. I'm sure no one will be able to hold the ice cap for much longer than as a rout of transportation.

the map looks clean and playable, but other than that why would anyone decide "hey, it'd be fun to play a game in which I take over the arctic circle."

If you could plunge the entire map into darkness for half of the turns, then you'd have something.

Water isnt very good as andy said.

Think the bonus for Scandnavia is fine, 4 countries and 2 borders is a bonus of 4.

I think you should rename Asian Russia just Asia, as thats what it is. I think you could amalgamate some of your territories in Asian Russia. Madagan should be a part of another territory. Maybe you could make a territory of Hokkaido or Japan in the top left hand corner to get away from all the russian territories (something like half the territories you have are russian).

I have changed the ocean, added Hokkaido, merged Madagan with East Sakha, and added army shadows. I have posted two versions, one with a small ice cap, the other with a large ice cap, please tell me which one you like better. The only playability difference is that in the big ice cap version, the North Pole borders Komi.

Small ice cap version:

And Yamalia. Anyway, I think we can use the small cao and remove some of those routes.

[Bad Speler]

Hmm...missed Yamalia. Anyways, it seems that i can only remove Russian ice to East Sakha route and the North Pole to Elsemere Island Route so i dont hinder movability around the map to much.

i prefer the big ice cap, it looks more realistic

[Bad Speler]

and now we have a conflict. I guess i'll run a poll on it and see what people think. Just one question...is there a way to change the poll i have on now or do i have to make another topic to do this?

[AndyDufresne]

PM a mod (aka me), with the changes you would like made.


As for the small or large...I agree with Dublin, the large looks much more realistic. But if you made the small...less circular...and more...'ice capish'? it might feel real.

Link Hokkaido with Kamchatka. big ice cap is much better. Your going to have a north symbol in the centre pointing every way right?

I'll link them in the next update, and i will have a north symbol eventually...once i can find a good one.

[reverend_kyle]

I like the large ice cap for aformentioned reasons.

[KEYOGI]

Sorry if it's been mentioned, but I feel the N. Islands bonus needs to be increased to 4. I'm not even sure if that is enough, 5 countries with 5 borders!?

I really like the map though, looks great.

[Marvaddin]

4 borders. But, in fact, it would be easily corrected to 3 if we use the small ice cap

Then he NEEDS to make it look like an Ice cap.. and get rid of the straight lines on it too.. they loook bloody awful.
