Czecho Slovak Fragmentation [Quenched]

[isaiah40]

this version 1 (original) has as background old wall map. I´ve asked at site where I downloaded background (they sale this map) if I can use it. the answer is yes, this map old about 30 years.

Can you please a copy of that to thenobodies80 please?

I gotta say I love this map, and I hope you do it!

I gave a little gasp when I saw Beroun on the map; so many happy memories of my childhood! I've never seen Beroun recognised as an objective on any map, in any game whatsoever, in all my many years of wargaming!

You really have to go ahead with it!

The one with the authentic map background is a nice idea, but really sloppy looking. If there was a way to clean it up, it would be nicer.

holidays?

did you saw any map of Czech republic (or Czechoslovakia) before?

You really have to go ahead with it!

I´m glad that you like this map

will see, there would be any copyright problems with these old map.

If there was a way to clean it up, it would be nicer.

maybe I can reduce text on it. this should be a challenge for graphic masters, I will need any tips...

thanks guys for interest and inputs.

Is it obvious to everyone where the border between Czechia and Slovakia goes? Should there not be a delineated border between the two?

[Oneyed]

My biggest concern with this is, that you have again started from the small image. Since every map needs both a small & large image, it would be wisest for you to start from the large image, since it will be very difficult to create the large image from the small, but relatively simple to shrink the large to the small.

I think it would be best for you to switch to the large image now that you haven't put that much work into this image yet. It would mean redrawing your map, but trust me it's better to have to do it now rather than when you've put weeks of work in your current image.

The size difference between large & small should be at least 9% but 25% is recommended. 25% would make your large image 840 pixels wide, based on your current image.

Good, just redraw Praha & Bratislava, those look pixelated now...

No, they are still pixelated. Just redraw them.

For that matter, you need to redraw the town icons as well...

I like the color in this one. It looks less washed out, while also not being too light or bright or overpowering.

You may want to consider making the Cr and SR each their own colors with varieties of shades in each territory

I can not "divide" CzechoSlovakia this way. it is still one country and it is divided by gameplay. only if this will be necessary. thanks.

Well, I think it would seriously help clear things up as unless a person is familiar with the geography of Czechoslovakia, it is going to be hard to determine where exactly Slovakia and the Czech Rep. are exactly. I'm not saying it is mandatory, but you should look at clearing up this issue soon.

[tokle]

Rather than having the border between Czechia and Slovakia a different colour, you could make it like the outer border of the country. That might work.
