Can you just stop spamming this thread please?

I haven't got any real feedback since RJ's post a page and a half ago!

Tom I appreciate your interest but if you don't have anything useful to post just refrain from doing it please. Thanks.

ok so the map... like people have said before, the mini bonus map needs some work. it does look quite simple, and the colours are a bit off the real map. also, how many neutrals start out on luxembourg city?

I think I agree with Tom on making the texture/colors on the minimap match the real one.

As for neutrals on Luxembourg City, I think it should start with 3. Nothing fancy, but they make sure no one gets that bonus on the drop.

I am undecided between 2 or 3 neutrals for Luxembourg City. What do others think about this?

It's a small map and 3 might be a bit too much when you consider the units you might lose to conquer it, but I'm not sure about this reasoning.

i voted for 2,
i think that its a small map so 3 is quite a lot to put on there, i think there should be about 2.4 amies on there - but you cant do that so i think 2.
and sorry about 'spamming' the thread

I like the latest version a lot, and due to the smallness of it, you won't need impassables. Showing the country's borders with other nations is a nice touch, too. One question: what's with the "NB"? I have no idea what this means and don't consider it necessary to convey that Luxembourg City starts neutral.

N.B. stands for nota bene, or, note well. It basically means to take note of whatever follows.

I don't like how the Schultrange label cross over the borders. It's not very readable.


It seems weird that Luxembourg City has a blue border at the north when the rest of the border is different.


I think the continent colours would be better served being more like the mini-map.
1. I'd prefer the southeast continent to be a bit darker than you have it on the mini-map.
2. I think Luxembourg City would look better being more white.

What else can i say on first sight....Bravissimo.
Is it possible to gain some more clarity on the crest..it looks slightly blury?
Also are you planning on naming the continents in the mini-map, only asking because edbeard picked me up on that one. ;)
Also, you have the neihgbours' flags in there, would it hurt to add the flag for Luxembourg? More of an educational thing i guess. :)

One possibility could be to have the other nations flags as a very faint underlay on them (it might look awful but it could work)

1-I love the map! It looks awesome.
2- I dont love the minimap, it looks like it came out of a Science textbook IMO.
3- Are there going to be continent names on the map?
4- Although easy to tell on the mini map, Luxembourg City seems to blend into the other continent.

Haha. Ok Tom I'll let you in on a little secret. Even though I said in my first post that I was not going to use any impassable objects...yes the blue line is a river. I put it there on purpose to confuse people! :p

Version 1.8

I created a new version of the mini map. Maybe people like this better but I really don't want to focus on the mini map any more since I believe it does the job. No there will not be any region names on the map or mini map because they are not needed.

I refined the coat of arms...this one looks better and less blurry. (cairns)

I changed the territory name that was overlapping with that of a neighbouring city which had a shorter name. (edbeard)

I also added the Luxembourg flag to the mini map. (cairns)

The blue border for Luxembourg City is there to denote that it is the capital city. Luxembourg City is actually part of that region in real life but I made it white and with a blue border because in the game it starts as a neutral and standalone territory.
