San Marino [Quenched]

[edbeard]

agreed with gimil that the colours tend to overlap around continent borders


I question the two territory +2 continent. especially when right next to it there's a four territory +3 where all four territories act as borders

I think it's a +1

[ZeakCytho]

I think the "9 Torri" is apparent enough as is and doesn't need to be changed, especially if the Italian is to be perserved like Ruben pointed out. Changing it to Tutte le Torri would just confuse most people.

I also don't like the graphic being used for the Torri very much. I understand why you're using it, but I don't think it looks very good.

To deal with some of the dead space that Gimil pointed out, maybe you could put a minimap showing the location of San Marino in relation to the rest of Italy/Southern Europe? Just a thought.

Ok I put a poll about that region.

[Balsiefen]

Definatly +1, i would also say that a continent with 3 territs and 1 boarder should also only be a +1

Also you should get continent names up, so we know what we're talking about.

Agreed.

i think the font is to small and blends in to much with the green color

Agreed.

Coming up in the next update.

Sorry but there was a poll about the fonts and a lengthy discussion where it resulted that people wanted them to blend.

The fonts are something that is not going to change again at this stage.

1, its too easy to grab early in the game.

[Ruben Cassar]

Here's a new update guys. Let me know what you think about it.

Version 1.15 - New rivers, refined regional borders, new mini map, added regions to mini map, moved tre torri bonus to lower left

It seems like the river comes out of the map rather than being set into it. I think this should be reversed.

The city emblem thing right by the title looks slightly odd. I can't really put my finger on what it is. I think it might be that it has no bevel/glow (not sure which it is) on the top and left sides like the legend, bonus box, and signature do. This makes it look really flat compared to everything else on the map. But it's still very bright and attention-grabbing, so if you were making it different to be subtle because it's not part of the map, that didn't really work. So I'd either do it in the same style as the other boxes or fade it a bit.

I think the title would look better if it were a few points larger.

I don't like the sharp contrast in the legend box between the regular background and the stuff the region names are on top of. Could you make the transition a bit more gradual, or add bevel or something similar to the continent-names box so it's more clearly a separate entity?

I have started working on all these points and should have already fixed 3 out of 4 for the next update.

However about the rivers...I gave them exactly the opposite effect that you are describing. Before they had bevel and were coming out of the map, now they have emboss are going into the map. I honestly don't know how to make them look any better in this sense.

I would leave the rivers the way they are, they look awsome

That's very weird. There's some sort of optical illusion at work, then. The river in the north definitely looks like it's popping out to me. The southern river doesn't seem to have this problem. I guess it's not that big a deal, though.
