7. I think remove that guy in the legend and do something like Bruceswar is doing on Baltic States, here:

I think you may be mixing up your maps, old man, TheBastard and thenobodies are doing Baltic Crusades, Bruceswar is doing Baltic States

I have no idea what you're talking about. Your eyes are playing tricks on you again Sully.

Okay, the banners need the shadow going in the same direction as the coat of arms and picture frame. Here's what you do, select the coat of arms layer and right click, then go down towards the bottom and click on "Copy Layer Style". Then select the banners - select all of them by pressing and holding the CTL key and clicking on each banner layer (as long as you have all the layers open). Then right click and click on "Paste Layer Style". Do this for all the banners, picture frame, and bridges.

Also, what happened to the title!???

[Flapcake]

the title got twisted, its already corrected

il take a look at the shadows, it dont look good

I am really impressed with how you've come along with your map Flapcake.
1. I like bridges... a little different from what we've seem previously
2. it is looking quite clear and for me the sea texture looks good also.
3. try to give your bonus legend a Danish flavour / design...i like the Queen added for Royal Touch (but where are Mary and Frederick LOL)
4. You have two four-way borders around Nyborg and Ringsted...they will have to be resolved somehow as they are a no-no and only confuse people.
Encouragement!

Thanks for your nice words, but I would now like to share the glory with isaiah40 who helped me getting there
The limits are moved around a bit to make room for troop spots, and I also thought that it was probably a little too much
Frederic and Mary have 4 children now so there will be no room for them he he

New update comming up very soon, i have added troop spots and territory names, i just think it gets a littel densely packed

[isaiah40]

Don't worry about the army circles, as I really don't think you will need them on this. Besides, it won't be as cluttered.

ok, but i already done them, i show it on next update

[natty dread]

No army circles. They're so last season.

[Flapcake]

He he ok, this is my first season

[Flapcake]

Now I have a new update.
New:
Legend has bonus bord now.
All territories are named.
Fairways/atack route
Shadows are adapted/corrected.
Colors are adjusted.

I excluded the troop circles as I can see that it will get the map to flicker and confuses people.
I have adjusted the colors so they do not get troop numbers to float along with the Territory colors.

that's it for now

This is really coming along well. However your current draft is 840x840. Can you scale it to 840x800 which is the max dimensions for large maps?

no problem, the map actually looks better in 840x800 as it gives the landscape closer to the right proportions. it also smooths it all better.

this map is 840x800

Looks good. What we need for you to do now is keep the first post updated with each update you do. Also change the title to reflect the new update like this Denmark v5 [25 Aug 2011] pg4. This will helps everyone out by telling them what version, the latest update date, and what page the new version is on.

Hi Flapcake,

Ii am finding that the graphics on your map are not quite coming together yet. Their is no consistent theme. However as a new map maker I am encouraged with your rate of development from your first draft to this current one. You are showing potential as a mapmaker, you just need to refine skills and artistic eye. And judging by you current development rate this shouldn't be a problem.

usually with map makers as new as yourself who are refining their skills I find it better to 'restart' a map than try to patch over the issues during your learning curve of map making. That would be my advice again here. However if you really don't want to restart the whole map, then I suggest this. Concentrate on making your map consistent around the graphics of the actual map area. This is by far your strongest aspect in this map. The background, legends, clip art etc don't really fit with this.

You get what I am saying?

Keep up the good work though!
