It might help to learn to take criticism better as that is the entire point of this section of the forums. Do you honestly want input, or are you here to basically wait for someone to tell you it looks perfect and everything you do is amazing?
Wrong, I told lanyards to f*ck off. And for good reason. Honestly, did you read anything I said? Apparently not a word. I'll say it again, i'll try to be clearer.
I appreciate everyone's input, and I request it whole-heartedly. I will take everything into consideration, and I will give it a shot (as I have this entire thread, have a look). The only time I will ask you to kindly shut your mouth is: if you've made your request, I've tried it, didn't like it, explained it in this thread, asked you to move on, and you continually ignore my response. You people are treating me like I don't have respect and am not listening to the community. I find it very disrespectful the way lanyards ignored *my* opinion continually, did not respond to what I said, and just re-stated his complaint, even though I already answered.
I'm also finding it disrespectful that people aren't reading what i'm saying, and are continually saying that I don't listen to the communities' opinions. I never said I wouldn't retry the mountains, which seem to be unanimously disliked. I never shot down any other suggestions either, infact i've continually requested them. The reason I haven't posted an update is because I have less free time now then I did the first two days when I got the bulk of the work done, but I never said "this is done and its my way no changes." This thread sunk and for days had no responses, until I topped it asking for MORE suggestions from the community.
I never asked anyone not to tell me what they think of the mountains, or the water, or the font, or anything else. The only person and the only subject i've asked to stop is that of the minotaurs - and not because I find the minotaurs so overwhelmingly amazing and they MUST be in this map, but because the request was entirely disrespectful and rude and repetitive.
I'm more then happy to continue this thread as it has gone, taking opinions, making changes, and ultimately sending the fresh new and improved map into action. So if you have suggestions, please, make them, I never asked anyone not to. But, if you'd rather continue to ignore what i'm saying (which is what got me upset in the first place), and tell me that i'm NOT listening to the community, when clearly I have been, i'm not opposed to dropping this all together. I'm not as eager to kiss butt as some people may be, getting my map onto conquer club isn't quite the greatest honor I can envision. So for as long as i'm providing this free service to the community, I plan to listen and respect everything every one has to say, but you better believe I expect the same courtesies.
Anyways... as for your question about the legend. I like the background... but is there a way to make it look like the text is "carved into" the background like it's a tablet? I think that would be cool and fit in perfect with Ancient Greece.
That sounds pretty sharp, i'll give it a shot with my next update
