For a continent on the brink of war, the colors seem a bit too bright to me.

I like the idea of a border around the map, but I'd continue to rework it. The one you have presented now is almost too flashy and distracting.

I think the Legend needs reworking, at least the parts of Entente Powers and Central Powers

You don't need to write all the small kindoms in Entente Powers, I guess Russia, French and British would be enough.
In any case, your bonuses are close to that anyway.

Also, you didn't show connection to British islands, how will be the passing?
You can arrange Montenegro and Albania better, just putting M. and A is not so good I think

But map looks promising, I liked the outline especially.
One more thing, you can choose more distinctive and darker colors for continents. It would look better for a dark war :)

Keep up good work :) Cheers

Brink is the edge - the continent was about to go to war. The brightness looks good, but feels out of place given the theme of the map. I'd prefer some darker shades.

I think the colors you used are great, but like Zeak said, they need to be toned down a bit. This whole map should be made a bit darker. Otherwise, I think the browns, greens and reddish colors look good

It feels like there's too much going on graphically.

The Entente Powers and Central Powers boxes stand out too much for me. Maybe fade the background of those boxes so the words in them are more readable and it might take the focus off of those boxes.

Breaking off from the stamp licking thread, here's the response you wanted.

I don't think this map is ready for the ideas stamp quite yet. There are a few requirements for the ideas stamp that haven't been completed/explained yet.
Here they are, written in pink:
Ideas Stamp Explanation wrote:2) Have a playable image. If we quenched it people should be able toplay on it. Ths should included the following:
* Territory names Norway and Sweden don't have names or army circles. I don't know if that is right because I haven't read the entire thread yet. But they look like normal territories, they just don't have names or circles on them. If those aren't actual territories, I think you should remove the border splitting it in half, so people don't get confused. and your territories M, A, Be, and Bs. Those will get confusing, having only one letter to represent the name. M could be mistaken for Moscow, A could be Ankara, Be could be Berlin or Belarus. That could get confusing, you should probably rework the image a bit so you could use a bigger name to represent each place.
* Working legends The Entente/Central powers boxes. Are they meant to help the map or are they just extra information boxes that don't contribute to gameplay? If they are meant to help the gameplay, they don't explain anything, they just list some flags. nothing that correlates to the map.
* Speculative Bonuses All your army bonuses are listed as 0. The map needs to have actual numbers, not just 0s, before you can get a stamp.
* Tentative Border Divisions Same problem with Norway/Sweden border. If they aren't territories, I don't think they should have a line, so no one gets confused.


If you can get each of those things, then I think you'll be ready for your stamp.
Good luck. :)

Wcaclimbing.i must say that aim very possitive supprised with these Post.
These deserve =D> . If other mod try to work like you work,then Future of Foundry is very bright. Very clear and good explane what must to do. =D>
I will update when i finish all these what you mention.

Working legends The Entente/Central powers boxes. Are they meant to help the map or are they just extra information boxes that don't contribute to gameplay? If they are meant to help the gameplay, they don't explain anything, they just list some flags. nothing that correlates to the map.

These is only a decorative to people understand who present what on map,you will be supprised that you have so many people who dont know nothing abouth Europe in 1914 years.

Love the map Qwert.

But i aint feeling that red. Could you try useing diffrent colours?

Also since you've added the powers to the map could you try use them for unique gameplay?? I think that will give more sense since you want to add them.

Why you dont like red colour? I take these because red is nacional colour of Turkey.

Not possible to add these for unique gameplay,its only show what country belong to what powers.

1. Its to fire'y (kinda bright). Try to saturate it a bit?

2. Ive tought about a few ways to do it Unqiue its up to you if you want to use it. (PS: i know they show the powers:D)

- Make the capital of each "Powers" Give bonus (Etc hold 3/4 Powers Captial for +3/+4)

- Another way is to give bonus for All the "normal Powers" and One bonus for all Central powers. Or all powers capitals Etc.

1.Bright? Are you sure? All colours is much darken then previous update-look page 1.
2.Its quit dificulty to achive these because you have countries who have only one terittory,and some country is full of these capitals(example Balkan).
But you can show me full list have you see these unique bonus.

1. I dont think they "Unite" as good with Green and orange some way. verry hard to explain:O Just try to saturate it just a littlebit for testing? (Might be the yellow background which do this.)

2. I will see what i can do...i gonna try the Idea 2. Unite All the powers...or something:D

Hey, Montenegro and Albania should be written completely, now they are just written M. and A.
Maybe you can say if somebody unites 1 from Entente and one from Central powers, you can give additional bonus of +1? Like eliminating one opponent in the war or something. Can be nicer like that.

Colors look nicer now, by the way :)
