I quite agree.. Trying to explain them was quite difficult..

Yeah i found them all in 3 minutes but took 10 minutes to describe it! :lol:

are we allowed now to discuss the classic and italian maps? i m curious to know if the most difficult difference for me so far was a big difficulty for others or if they found it easily...

i have 15/15 normally, just worried about explanations that could be considered as unclear, mostly for conquerman.. by the way, weren t we supposed to have a points update after the italian map was offline?

in Conquer 4 it wasn't a challenge to find them, but the hard part was thinking of how to say it in an understandable way.

i saw them almost directly except the 5th one, but i still found them all in a minute or 2, but then i was like, hmm, how am i going to word this? lol.

by **zimmah** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 5:55 am

i can confirm there is really 5 differences, no duplicate.

by **Extreme Ways** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:02 am

Just that fifth one was a bit hard.

If explain the difference is really hard you can use also a screenshot for each difference. I can suggest gyazo, it allows you to click and grab just a part of the screen, in this case the part where you spot the difference. After few seconds, Gyazo will open a web page in your browser,then you have just to go on the image in that page and copy/paste the link of your small screenshot into the submission field into the contest page/form

Here below a quick example into the spoiler:

Hope it helps.

About the difficulty, the two final rounds will be a bit more harder :twisted:

except for the blind and the people that didn't participate i think everybody has 15/15. the modifications were really really easy to spot.
so again i'll have to suggest pixel size modifications unless the organizes want most of the participants tied for 1st place.

by **thenobodies80** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:46 am

No, not everyone has 15/15.
But wait for Samuelc812 for the score. I think he is double checking the results I've given to him.

by **QoH** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 9:50 am

Crap, the 5th difference wasn't a duplicate? Damn...

well, if you want to play a game were the organizer just changes a pixel we will let you have fun on your own. this is a game to spot differences with your natural eye, not with photoshop overlapping images or whatever multiple things the technology offers.
And as you can see everyone here seems satisfied with the level of difficulty, and we do have trouble finding some of the differences. I ll be more than happy if we are plenty to find the 25, it seems like a problem for you!

I know my eyes aren't perfect, but at classic I could only find 3 and I got 4 on Italy. This one was fairly easy though. =D>

by **Rodion** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:03 pm

Conquer 4 was overwhelmingly harder than the other 2 combined, but I should be 15/15 as of now!

Some scores would be nice, but on another note, has anyone noticed Classic map is being beaten by World 2.1. :lol:

Just goes to show, nice graphics do not make the map.

i agree that nice graphics don't make a map but i'm lost as to which one of them has nice graphics because they're both absolutely bland and simple. in fact classic actually looks very blurry to me so i'd put world 2.1 a little in front in the graphics race.

True about classic, always hated the way it looked but it is a step above 2.1 in a sense of that is looks like land and sea, not just coloured blobs shaped.

this just proves that it s perception... for me it was the easiest of all. italy took me more time to finish than (classic+conquerman)X2.
sometimes you just don t see what is obvious.

actually not the equals 4 stands alone the equals 6 bonus with the dots modified also stands alone to suggest that would count as six is ignorant.. if CONTROVERSY WASN`T INTENDEDthan changing only 1 equal 4 would have been sufficient..

Now that time has expired for the map, I can tell you I wasn't referring to the dots. I was referring to the row numbers. You could say the 1 was changed to a 6, the 2 was changed to a 5, 3 to a 4, etc., for all 6.

Also, claiming that controversy was intended (in large font, to boot) makes you look foolish. It's a game, and not even a competitive one. Chill out.

by **jackal31** on Sun Oct 23, 2011 5:45 pm

I have to agree here too, I counted the two modified 'not equal to' signs as individual initially, but thought it wasnt right. Then a couple minutes later I found the last one. So I too would say there were 6 total differences on this map.

btw, when I posted my 30 sec comment, that was before I found the last one. So technically it wasnt as fast as advertised.

Apologies for the delay, but here are the answers from the Classic and Italy Maps. The answers to Conquer 4 will be posted once results have been gathered.

You can check your ongoing score here on the leaderboard, so that you know whether you have earned a medal or not, and whether you are in the running for a second medal.

Without further ado, here are the differences for Classic
