Forbidden City [Quenched]

[Incandenza]

I see no earthly reason why this shouldn't be in final forge, thus freeing up cairns' time so he can deliver on the promised gallipoli map!

Oh dear, Gallipoli is a way off yet.....Anzac Day 2009 (25 April)....i might start it in Dec 08
I would like to get Halloween Hollows done first

I am still working on the large xml centering for this one, and would like feedback on the proposition for increasing the larger continents on this map as put forward by iancanton, please

[iancanton]

i'm thinking that only an additional 2 bonus for the palaces and eunuchs (making +10 and +9 respectively) will make anyone bother with trying to hold them, otherwise it will be all about a race for the small bonuses.

OK, i understand that...what about the Great Halls...should they be bumped up also? and if so by how much?

the cairnswk bonus spreadsheet gives +10.17 for palaces and +10.5 for great halls, suggesting that the palaces and great halls rank equally at +10. the two areas have very similar attributes, so i'd give equal bonuses to them.

the spreadsheet gives +10.42 for the outer courts. compared with the palaces and great halls, +9 is more appropriate since, like the eunuchs, it is a traditional classic-type continent where all constituent territories are directly connected. +10 also works if u want the outer courts to be worth more than the eunuchs.

another slightly overvalued bonus is that for the towers. the spreadsheet gives +4.08, but +3 is maybe more suitable because only the gates can attack this bonus.

some more names: song jiaoren is sung chiao-jen and i think prince juan is prince tuan, one of the (non-spanish) conservatives who actively supported the boxers.

nanxun hall is, i believe, nanhsün hall. this one is rather obscure and i've simply converted from modern pinyin to traditional wade-giles using the table below.

any chance of emps tz'u-hsi becoming emp dwr tz'u-hsi, if space allows? in historical texts, she was often referred to by her title, empress dowager, rather than her personal name, but not empress.

although qing is supposed to be ch'ing, qing looks far better when the name is written vertically, since there's no apostrophe. i wonder whether the ming and qing font in the legend can be used on the map itself: i especially like the M and the Q.

are the inland missions actually the china inland mission (singular)?

in the legend, can u differentiate more clearly the colours of the symbols for the 8 nations alliance (which ought to be 8 nation alliance – any room to write it as 8 nation allnce?) and the boxers?

a couple of historical notes: li yuan-hung did serve as a qing general, but i can find only references to him becoming prime minister during the republican period and nothing to do with the boxer rebellion; wu chow appears to be a fictional character who appears only in the movie shanghai knights and is not part of folk legend. i don't know of any famous boxers, so how about replacing these two by conservatives and fists of harmony?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_ ... _Rebellion

eunuch bonuses need to be upgraded from 7 to 9.

is it difficult to make the legend pillars a bit thinner, so the lanterns can be a bit wider to accommodate more of the text?

xml still says 8 nations alliance instead of 8 nation alliance.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_ ... _Rebellion

I'll look into this

EDIT\\ try this

Li Hongzhang played a major role in ending the Boxer Rebellion. In 1901, he was the principal Chinese negotiator with the foreign powers who had captured Beijing, and, on September 7, 1901, he signed the treaty (Boxer Protocol) ending the Boxer crisis, obtaining the departure of the foreign armies at the price of huge indemnities for China.

here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Hongzhang

in my current reading, he is referred to as Li Hung-chang in "The Last Empress"

eunuch bonuses need to be upgraded from 7 to 9.

And change this

is it difficult to make the legend pillars a bit thinner, so the lanterns can be a bit wider to accommodate more of the text?

but not this, the map has already been split into small and large and after it being in this present format for so long, i am not going to spend any more time on graphics especially such a large change. Besides make those pillars thinner and things will start to look disproportionate.

xml still says 8 nations alliance instead of 8 nation alliance.

ian.

will fix, thanks Ian.

[gho]

i wonder whether the ming and qing font in the legend can be used on the map itself: i especially like the M and the Q.

I like this suggestion, this font would look better, the current one doesn't do anything for the chinese look.

That has already been changed gho. Both the legend font and vertical continent font are the same.

[iancanton]

i suppose li hung-chang is somewhat better than wu chow. like li yuan-hung, however, it seems that he had little or nothing to do with leading or sponsoring the boxers. both can just about fit if the boxers is renamed as boxer rebellion (or qing officers). on the other hand, all of the four people in the boxers continent were part of the establishment and, with the possible exception of yuan shih-kai, not outsiders, so the outsiders would have to be called something else: outside city, perhaps?

it was the font originally in the legend that i liked, not the one on the map!

do the peasants, imperial army, hsi-hua men north and hsi-hua men south meet at a four-way? the position of the border indicator gives rise to questions and i'd prefer to see it moved up or down slightly to avoid what looks like a four-way.

hall of imperial household is missing the of.

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1900fei-boxers.html

Fei Ch'i-hao was a Chinese Christian. Here he recounts the activities of the millenialist "Boxers" in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900.

IV

THE GATHERING OF THE STORM

The people of Shansi are naturally timid and gentle, not given to making disturbances, being the most peaceable people in China. So our Shansi Christians were hopeful for themselves, even when the reports from the coast grew more alarming. But there was one thing which caused us deep apprehension, and that was the fact that the wicked, cruel YU Hsien, the hater of foreigners, was the newly appointed Governor of Shansi. He had previously promoted the Boxer movement in Shantung, and had persuaded the Empress Dowager that the Boxers had supernatural powers and were true patriots.

Ian, would you be happy if we placed Yü Hsein in there instead of Wu Chow?

it was the font originally in the legend that i liked, not the one on the map!
Sorry i misunderstood that. but i prefer the way it is now.

do the peasants, imperial army, hsi-hua men north and hsi-hua men south meet at a four-way? the position of the border indicator gives rise to questions and i'd prefer to see it moved up or down slightly to avoid what looks like a four-way.

well yes that is a four-way however i am aware of such things, and there is a small wall there to stop that being taken as a 4 way,. but i will enlarge it seeing you didn't see it.

hall of imperial household is missing the of.

That is deliberate to keep some consistency with the other terts that cannot filt Hall of....with the exception of course of the three middle halls.

yes! yü hsien is a nice find.

do the peasants, imperial army, hsi-hua men north and hsi-hua men south meet at a four-way? the position of the border indicator gives rise to questions and i'd prefer to see it moved up or down slightly to avoid what looks like a four-way.

well yes that is a four-way however i am aware of such things, and there is a small wall there to stop that being taken as a 4 way,. but i will enlarge it seeing you didn't see it.

whether the change improves things much will depend on whether people are likely to interpret the border indicators as being connectors to everything that they touch.

hall of imperial household is missing the of.

That is deliberate to keep some consistency with the other terts that cannot filt Hall of....with the exception of course of the three middle halls.

it isn't consistent: the other territories where u've omitted of have had hall moved from the start to the end of the name. for reasons of space, u can't do the same easily for hall of imperial household but, disregarding the context, hall imperial household makes it sound like the territory represents the imperial household whose family name is hall. why not treat it in the same way as the three halls of harmony?

can we have a lower-case h for tz'u-hsi, so that it's written in the same way as the other people's names?

on the large map, do u have room to make the military eminence hall ever-so-slightly wider, to fit the y inside the right-hand border?

the orange connector for sun yat-sen looks wider than that for kmt army.

Final Forge

---The Forbidden City Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry Furnace (okay, maybe not) and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. As long as there is still discussion or posts that have yet to be commented on, the map will remain in Final Forge until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

EDIT\\ try this

Li Hongzhang played a major role in ending the Boxer Rebellion. In 1901, he was the principal Chinese negotiator with the foreign powers who had captured Beijing, and, on September 7, 1901, he signed the treaty (Boxer Protocol) ending the Boxer crisis, obtaining the departure of the foreign armies at the price of huge indemnities for China.

here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Hongzhang

in my current reading, he is referred to as Li Hung-chang in "The Last Empress"

eunuch bonuses need to be upgraded from 7 to 9.

And change this

u were going to use li hung-chang, who played an active role in ending the boxer rebellion, instead of li yuan-hung and increase the eunuch bonuses.

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1900fei-boxers.html

the wicked, cruel YU Hsien, the hater of foreigners, was the newly appointed Governor of Shansi.

Ian, would you be happy if we placed Yü Hsein in there instead of Wu Chow?

it is actually yü hsien, as u quoted initially, but it somehow changed to yü hsein by accident.

nanxun hall is, i believe, nanhsün hall.

to be consistent with kung ning garden and lung tsi palace, can u write it as nan hsün hall, with a space?

the orange connector for sun yat-sen looks wider than that for kmt army.

the connector has now been fixed and, other than the above four things, the map looks fantastic!

[iancanton]

some changes to the xml needed, as follows.

several apostrophes are misplaced.

Crown Prince's Palace (not Crown Princes' Palace)
Emperor's Palace (not Emperors' Palace)
Empress' Palace (not Emperess's Palace – if u want Empress's Palace, then u have to change the text on the map)

some other spelling mistakes.

8 Nation Alliance (not 8 Nations Alliance)
Lung Tsi Palace (not Lung Tsi Pavillion - is it a palace or a pavilion?)
Military Eminence Hall (not Military Eminance Hall)
Nan Hsün Hall (not Nan hsün Hall - capital H for consistency with Lung Tsi Pavilion and Kung Ning Garden)

on the map, can u capitalise the H in Nan Hsün?

finals coming!?

Thanks ian. all fixed, i hope.
Also fixed ->

I found a few small mistakes:

-Kuomintang bonus: 2 on map, 3 in XML
-Missionaries bonus on map is called Foreigners in XML
-Gardens bonus: 2 on map, 3 in XML

-Kung Ning garden doesn’t border W Inner Court in XML and vice versa
-Hall of Imperial Household and Military Eminence Hall border in XML, but there is a wall between them on the map
-Hall of Imperial Household and Outer Court NW border in XML, but there is a (vague) wall between them on the map
-Literary Glory Hall and Outer Court NE border each other in XML, but there is a wall between them on the map

Version 30...please refresh your browsers.....
