Is there anyone interested in having the tikis faces not just looking to the right?

?

Maybe left also

I never saw them looking to the right.

about mountans, somewhere they look awesome, somewhere not so. and all map has one style, so why not also mountains? but your map - your mountains I still like this one.

May i ask why?
is there cultural significance in this look?

I think that the tikis all facing the same way is good because if they were alternating the map would look too busy (aka eyestrain). The one thing that I do notice about the tikis is that they dont contrast much from the map color-wise. If anything, they blend. This may or may not be your intent, just thought I would add this point as input.

The short answer is no (and read here for instance) - but that wasn't the issue for me. I was just going on aesthetic.

Balancing gameplay...please read back through the thread a few pages.

All good i read what you spoke of. Sorry i was looking from the aspect of Maori tribes and their location and strength and misunderstood the angle you were taking.

Sorry just noticed Taumaranui has been spelt as Taumarunui... thanks

Listed in google as Taumarunui and also Taumaranui
but main listing appears for Taumarunui...so where are you getting your spelling from please?

[thehippo8]

Taumarunui is correct - literarally taumaranu (screen) and nui (big) or big screen - being a large sheltered area in which the Māori chief Pehi Turoa in his dying words fondly refered to it as. Alternative history has it as closely connected with the arrival of and conquering of that portion of the King Country by the Whanganui River natives during the 18th century by the war party that succeeded in capturing the principal pa and taking prisoner the chief of the district was headed by "Ki Maru". His warriors, to show their appreciation of his prowess and the honour of the victory, acclaimed him "Tau-maru-nui", which means "Maru the Great", or "Maru the Conqueror", that name was taken for the district and has been used ever since.". Either works for me, but the spelling is correct.

[ScytherLoL]

Yes you are right. Sorry spelling changes between tribes (for instance Whangarei versus Wangarei and Powhiri versus Pohiri) and sometimes the way we spell it in my end of the woods is different to someone elses.

You are right and yes you proably should go with the main version.
