Thanx Andy, I do have some original projects in the works. But this one is not an attempt in that vane. I have Zims' approval, and he is being consulted with all the work. Our goal is to create a "Signature" map for CC.AndyDufresne wrote:I see you've got some enthusiasim porkenbeans, so I like that, but perhaps you should look for some more original ideas.

But I also think World 2.1 is a fine map as it stands now. It would be better to pick an original idea to start and use that visual style than to revamp one of CC's favorite maps.

Good point brother. Maybe it could be an addition rather than a replacement.LED ZEPPELINER wrote:BaldAdonis wrote:That map is (I think) the only one which uses vector graphics, and so it can be scaled infinitely.

I do like your version, and that's saying a lot, because I'm a big fan of the World 2.1. Perhaps there is a way we could have both maps.

thanks Angel fish. When I first approached the Signature map idea, I immediately thought of World 2.1. Since the loss of the classic, it has got to be CCs' most popular map. And face it, no other map, than a world map, would really work for a good Signature map. All the other sites have so-so maps, and while most do not have as many, none, including CC has got a real work of art as their showcase map. I am NOT a mapmaker, but I am an artist. I would love to try my hand at creating our showcase map. In my opinion, a world map is the only way to go. And since we have one already, I thought that I could team with Zim and polish up World 2.1. I have showed him my first draft of what I have in mind. He approves and wants me to keep him up to date on my progress. So this is basically a collaborative effort.fishydance wrote:porkenbeans wrote:Good point brother.

Thank you Chang. The game play is the same, but with an added continent. I do not think that a replacement is needed for World 2.1, just an addition like AOR for example. How many of them are there anyway ?Mr Changsha wrote:Really keen on the new look.
I wonder if one or two very subtle gameplay changes might allow it to stand alone from 2.1 as a seperate map, while still managing to doff it's cap to the original?
If the gameplay is exactly the same, then I would suppose it comes down to whether the creator of the map, and the fans who play it, prefer the original or new look.
Not sure myself, but I would certainly enjoy playing a few games on porkenbeans' 2.2.
I can add boats, plains, cannons, the lost continent of Atlantis, or anything that we can get a census on.ustus wrote:I like the way this looks so far, and I'm all for another big map. just tweak the gameplay a little to make it bigger yet, and i'd definitely support this!
Now that would be a WORLD map. Does anyone know how many there are ?miniwally wrote:i'd prefer most of countries in world if possible
