There are 105 contries and 11 continents (made for a long game)
Comments: Ctrl+Alt+Delete=+5 Alt+F4=+3, this is intended for a long game, not suggested for RTs

CTRL + ALT + DEL = +5 bonus

again, some thought before you post your map is in order.

Alt + F4 is far better. :lol:

EvilOtto wasn't kidding about you learning how to use the cropping tool.

OK, again a potentially fun idea. And again, if you're going to develop further, you need to show the foundry that you have the tools to pull it off. My first question would be what graphics program are you using to put this together?

Now, since you've skipped most of step 2 of "how to make a map," you should read over step 3:

um...something is wrong, i can't update the post anymore

by **Spockers** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:57 pm

Ok it's great that you can find your line tool and your paint bucket, but in your next update could you please explain where the appeal lies.

by **DoomsDay** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 6:57 pm

(the last post couldn't be updated anymore so here i made new post)

look at the top

by **DiM** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:31 pm

by **DoomsDay** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:34 pm

its coming

and what are "MULIMEDIA keys"

by **DiM** on Tue Mar 20, 2007 7:39 pm

here is an example: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/7d82/zoom/

the multimedia keys are those at the top of the keyboard. they do various tasks from opening your browser, play/stop the winamp open the calculator, adjust volume, etc.

Find a good idea. That's usually the best place to start. :wink:

by **Coleman** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 12:17 am

I like the idea, and this is your best map to date, but I don't know if you have the ability to make it into something that could pass the foundry.

by **Wisse** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 1:38 am

hmm i think we need a mac keyboard too then

by **DoomsDay** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:32 pm

I am pretty good with paint. I could do it over time

by **DoomsDay** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:38 pm

what does a mac keyboard look like?

by **Crowley** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 3:29 pm

Google is your friend

by **DoomsDay** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:06 pm

okay...

by **GreecePwns** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:06 pm

will there be copyright issues with the xp symbol?

by **DoomsDay** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:24 pm

hm...good thought...I don't think so, its very common

You will not be able to get the effects needed for a good map using paint.

I said it before but here it goes again- I appreciate your enthusiasm but you are just not cut out for map making. You have submitted countless ideas and none of them have a chance at being created with the editing that you have done.
