with is being the texture there is a few step to do before it place the border etc on but then its gray scaled for relief (so you cant see the the beauty of this one
as well i did this all with the paintbrush on artrage2 so its hard lower something that is not just an effect

That's cool, as long as it it 100% computer it should be fine

if you look at the newsletter you can see a rough look at what the outcome will kinda look like but it will be a lot better
and yes 100% computer
i like artrage because the cursors flow the same style as real life
so i do my pictures there then bring in over on photoshop

Wait. We didn't put anything of yours in the News Letter, what do you speak of, or is it not the foundry news letter?

Oh, your entry?

Yor saying your map is going to look like your entry? Cool. Very good entry.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. As a piece of art, however. I truly hope you can translate this into a CC map, it looks fantastic!

Wow, thank you 44.

I've got an easy job waiting for Danyael to do the gfx.

Wonderful ! =D>

This map is growing day by day....

Actually you have to focus on this:

To be considered a Working Draft a project must be more than just an idea; a Draft should have a clear thematic focus, a plan for how the gameplay will work, and a basic image which should include:

1. Territory Labels - temporary names or numbers will suffice, and are always open to change.
2. Borders/Paths/Impassables - it should be made clear where territories do/do not connect.
3. Bonus Areas - where combinations/groups of territories will award a bonus, this should be indicated on the map.
4. Legend - speculative bonus values and explanations of any attack rules or gameplay features.

Draft images should not be larger than 630x600px (small image) or 840x800px (large image).

When your map has met all these requirements, could be moved in the drafting room.
So it will have all the visibility it deserves.

Good work

I'm so happy! You did extremely well Danyael, focus on what you like and continue the good work!

This map is getting closer and closer to becoming a working draft - let's get you into the drafting room now ;-)

I have to say it s a beautiful map so far, with a problem, its far too similar to iberia. I think however that this is preferable to that map based on what i can i see because it looks great, I just think it needs to look more mediteranian, more like spain really.

by **sam_levi_11** on Mon May 04, 2009 1:21 pm

Also the orange needs to be merged as having it on its own is nopt really good gameplay wise i think. However you could make cities a bonus maybe, so Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao and Seville.
