I was going to, but i wasn't sure on how to divide up the countries. I can add it on later (i used the same map a a general guide) i dont' ahve photoshop atm, but when i get back i'll see what i can do.

I guess i can fix the river by making the light blue streak a bit darker and ti won't overpower the continents

not my fault, might wanna take it up w/ the glacier that passed over that area a few thousand years ago. while ur at it, tell it to not make the beaches by my house so damn rocky!

If you wanted, you could add the Rockaways, which connect to both Queens and Brooklyn.... as an extra continent.

If you open this in paint, you can get a larger view:

You also get a larger view, if on windows, by holding your mouse still for a bit over the pic and clicking on the button that appears.

[cowshrptrn]

i dont' see the rockaways in that map. I think i have too many countries, i guess i'll start adding more once i get the general aesthetics over w/

[cowshrptrn]

ok, i finally did something (not much) but i tihnk it really makes the map key adn the map flow together. Tell me if you think its a step in the right direction.

LOOKING SWEET! i cant wait to play it

[spiesr]

Yous hould add an verticle uncrossable in the middle of queens.

[cowshrptrn]

liek between jamaica and ozone park? the only problem with that is it makes a corridor in a mainly open map.

maybe corona+woodhaven and auburndale because it seems pretty necessary...

[gavin_sidhu]

why would you want uncrossables in a continent?

[Marvaddin]

Hmmm, interesting map, without a bad playability.

But, I cant see why to have 5 continents only for 42 countries. See, once the islands are taken, no way to get other continents. 3 borders, with a bonus of 5 and no other continents holdable...

I would suggest you split queens in 2 continents, South (Ozone Park, Jamaica, JFK and Bellerose) and North Queens. You can split Bellerose in 2, and merge another 2 countries, like Astoria and Sunnyside. Personnaly, I would also merge Auburndale and Little Neck, and split Georgetown.

How about it?

[cowshrptrn]

ok, i'm thinking i maybe shodul overhaul the graphics for the map, i'll retrace the borders again, and recolor stuff, clean up the lines, and slipt+combine some countries. I like most of your gameplay suggestions, but i'm not good enough at photoshop to change the map without making the end product look like crap. PLus the small modifications i've been making have been adding up, and making this map look pretty low quality, w/ inconsistent borders etc. I might also try a colored image bg for each continenet (think USApocalypse)

but i'm not good enough at photoshop to change the map without making the end product look like crap.

you should find someone who knows what they're doing in photoshop to help you then. i like the idea of a nyc map but honestly this map looks terrible. whatever you do...get rid of that king kong image. it's 2006 not the 1930's.

[P Gizzle]

personally, i really like the map. i've been waiting for it to come out. just keep improving it with small details and u should be fine

[colinb007]

i would play it the way it is... but i say dont rush it... its already better than a few already in use maps...

[P Gizzle]

bump. when's this coming out?

[cowshrptrn]

whatever you do...get rid of that king kong image. it's 2006 not the 1930's.

wellt he whoel point of that was to create a feeling of nostalgia, as if we were in the 1930s or 40s since new york has a very rich history. Plus i'm pretty sure thats the only major conflict (besides godzilla) NYC has ever faced in the past hundred years that would quialify as an all out battle.

well, in the colonial times, i believe that the Continental Army took it over due to the high amount of Loyalists there, but personally i want it to come out now'!!!!

[cowshrptrn]

ok, i'm trying a new style for the backgrounds of the countries. I think this comes out cleaner (once i darken the army circles, and highlight the text) Tell me if you like it. if you liek the CONCEPT, but not the SPECIFIC PICTURES i'm using then please say so. I'm trying to get this map done whenever i have a bit of time.

EDIT: i know, i missed erasing a big spot of the taxi picture. this always happens after i upload, lol.

[P Gizzle]

looks awesome! let me play it!

[spiesr]

I can barely see some of the words on the pictures.
