thanks for your support danryan

You're welcome! Concerning your supersize application, I think you're going to need to go supersize with the large as well to make it noticeably larger than the small.

Yes. i have worked out for the large 909W x 800H - which makes it 15% larger.

Not a problem then.

[cairnswk]

Thanks isaiah40, i can now proceed along those grounds.

This is the adjusted small size map Version 6 still.
1. the image has been stretched to flesh out the island nations so that the links should be clearer between each station.
2. Proper people images are beginning to appear
3. the staircase is done properly
4. black glow given bonus rail line names ....don't know if this works to make them more legible
5. the Russian red has been changed to make the stations' texts more legible.

Would it possible for somebody to see of this ready for draft stamp please?

Yup, I'ma go ahead and STICKY this now! Looks good.

I noticed an improvement in the Russian legend in Wednesday's post. Overall, I think the black glow is a good idea.

I presume the 3's denote starting neutrals. They would seem to do a good job of preventing bonuses on the drop for most of the small zones, namely, E, F, H, and M, but what about I? In fact, I is smaller than H. Perhaps you meant to put the 3 on TAF-I rather than TAF-H?

ender516...thanks for the post.
I'd actually only changed the colour of Russian this morning, along with the balck glow, but thanks for noticing it.

No, that's where it has been since V2/3...but i can add one to H if you wish and you think it will be better for gamplay, plus golden number issues. I'll add it to KHI-I - Karachi. Is that OK?

Well, to me, there is a definite difference in the image in Wednesday's post, and the one prior. No matter, it looks very good now.

That looks like a good idea, but I'll admit I have not studied it in depth. I guess my question right now is, why, with 5 territories, does H need a neutral?

Mmm. maybe a mistake in neutral placement, we can change that if you wish.

Also i want to place another station on the map, i want to include Kabul in Afghanistan, with a link to Islamabad.
Any thoughts, good or bad idea etc?
Reason: a line to assist the country with economic devlopment has long been touted, but this proposed link goes from Kabul to Dushanby but there isn't the room to do that here.

[cairnswk]

Mmmm, everyone must be tied up in NY.

I would support making this as well. I've enjoyed playing your other rail maps and think this one might be the prettiest of the bunch. I look forward to playing it when it gets to beta. =)

Thanks JaneAustin for your support. Glad to hear you're looking forward to play this one.

This a graphic/gameplay clarity comment. Can you move that large Indonesian island

over a couple pixels to the left so the attack route is a little clearer? When I looked at it, I had to look closer to really see the dots denoting the attack route. I hope this makes sense?

Version 7
Thanks isaiah40...
1. Sumartra and the other islands have been moved...enough?
2. Kabul in Afghanisatan has been added with link to Islamabad



Sorry i don't have time for more changes but exams tomorrow.

PS. i've just seen IH trawling about. I hope he returns well shortly.
