Mmhm, could be a good point.

I see contrast is mentioned...that's OK, but are you guys also talking about CB issues?

Is there a better way to have those small terts than in the corners? Also not diggin those bridges but I am sure that can be dealt with later.

Is there any way to make the boxes stand out better. Not the ones in the corners, but the areas they represent on the map itself. Took me a while to find them. Nice map though.

It may make it seem cluttered but why not just make room for it next to those terts or just get rid of them?

I don't know, the boxes don't bother me, and it didn't take me long to find them on the map. But, the majority are bothered by them, so probably better to change it.

I like the colors, and the mountains especially. Very nice.

I have to disagree with nolefan, I quite like the bridges. But that's pretty subjective I think, so whatever on that point.

All in all, very nice so far. That border is cool, fits very well with the Ethiopia theme.

I think you have been here too long cairns. Time for you to move on and get some game play feedback in the main foundry. As always good luck.

I think it stems from Nola_Lifers comment above. Our names are similar. Not a big deal, lol.

Very nice cairnswk, as always 8-)

I think this should be moved forward, its way past draft stage, gameplay and graphics are where the discussion goes :P

At this point I have nothing to add, becourse I know, the small graphic adjustment Iv seen needed, you already are aware of, otherwise Il be back :lol:

The neutrals for the cities can probably lowered. 5 neutrals on a map this small almost guarantees they will never be taken even as part of the bonus.

Is there a reason why N. Afar starts as neutral? Is this for the golden number? If so, I would suggest making it a region with less importance as far as moving across the map...a region like SSW Oromia, SBG, or NBG.

As far as the bonuses are concerned, they all look good, but you might think about increasing the bonus for the continent that contains DIre Dawa to a +4 and the continent that contains N. Afar to a +3.

As it appears development on this map has stalled (see below), this map is being Moved to the Recycling Bin for the time being. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. :)

I know you're caught up in uni cairns, so once you've updated this one, I will move it back to the MFW.

In that case, you'd better bin all the vacation maps since it is long past their "valid to" date :idea:
