Egypt: Upper [Quenched]

[cairnswk]

do the boats accross the river nile link terits?

sorry if this has been asked before

Sorry t-o-m, but doesn't the legend say Dows enable crossing of the Nile, therefore one might assume that if you cross the NIle at these points then Yes, it would links terits.

Current version 4

More comments?

I like the bonus change so that it's between the two halves. It's still very readable and adds a little flavor to the pillars present, as if they're containing something.

[cairnswk]

common peoples....i need support on this map to get it through as part of a quadtych for the egypt series.

even suggestions would be helpful support

[RjBeals]

are you working on the statue graphics (both on the far right & left of the map)? They look pretty bad. You would be better off to draw your own.

I think I mentioned this earlier cairns, and you shrugged it off.

no i hadn't 'shrugged" it off at all!
i simply stated that i would attend to that later, as i see it as not an essential part of this graphics elements right now. and yes i will draw my own.

I don't have any comments.

I like the map. Gameplay and bonuses seem fine to me at this point.


My only comment is that the title could be more readable. The shadows make the title a bit strange looking.

Honestly this map could be put up for live play today and be fine.

Gees thanks edbeard...that's a big call....i'd better get it out of the ideas first with some more support....then i can fix the statues (make my own).

The colour schemes used are a bit too similar for my colour blind eyes.

Can you do something like you did with the other Egypt map perhaps?

Sure Ruben...what colours do you see best??
Btw welcome back into the foundry...it's good to see you have two maps up for development.

ok finally made it over to comment

1) As has been said, the guys on the outside look crappy
2) U cant see the full name of Ab: -bedju on the right side of the map
3) Is this the same type of water your using in lower egypt? if not, could u changet it to the same type?
4) u say that the dows enable passing, but as far as i can tell they are really only for passing at 5 points
5) I like how the arrows r straight curves, but then the arrows between maten and dw-f: per-nemty are not so that throws it off
6) Under bonuses u have mentioned curve like the others, could u either do as i suggested or modify the bonuses arrow to match the said arrow?
7) i noticed that the heiroglyphs are exactly alike on both pillars, maybe make them different?
Hopefully more later

[edbeard]

The one thing I don't like is the text at the upper left. We might as well try to make it as clear as possible.

Maybe instead of, "Some dows join territory sections across the river system."

say, "Note that some dows are use to join two parts of the same territory."

Or something to that effect. Basically, I think expressly saying that some territories are split into two parts might be a good idea. Yes. This is very nitpicky, but it is a comment!

[wcaclimbing]

could you put a bit of a shadow behind the map key and pillars?
So it looks like they are in front of the map. right now everything just kinda runs together.

You might want to clarify gameplay a bit, along the part where the two maps stack up. maybe at the bottom of the left map, you put a "connects to _____" text that helps explain how the gameplay works.

how is it not clear?

he says they stack up. and he says what territory borders what. I don't think you can get more clear than that.

I completely missed that part of the map....
never mind. forget my first comment on that. but keep my graphics comment.
