It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made.

dammit!

So the funny thing about having awesome outdoor jobs in cool parts of the country is that internet access is kinda sketchy. So, now that I'm back to the land of the technological, at least for a while, I thought I'd continue working on this. Here's an update!

Changes: Made the borders thinner and less confusing. Also got rid of that stray blue border (I had an idea for that, but it was a dumb one). Changed some of the symbols.

The reason the N. Rio Grande Valley bonus is small is that it gives almost complete access to the major pueblos. I want gameplay to focus on the other parts of the map as well as the center.

To be done:

-Work out gameplay.
-Make the legend actually somewhat artistic. Right now it's just bare-bones to give the foundry an idea of the gameplay.
-Work on doodads and other "flavor" illustrations.

I'm looking for criticism on anything, but mostly right now gameplay and overall style.

Well looks like this one is back on track.so it's been moved back into the drafting room.

Very cool! I like the style. I'd definitely say that this has a lot of potential. As for specific criticisms I've got nothing at the moment, I'll look at it some more in the near future.


Also I stayed a night in modern day Las Vegas New Mexico... Yeah, it's a complete ship-hole

Nice map

My comment for now: I think you need to explain what the "Pueblos" do, ther funktion and so on. Its kind of foggy to me

[WestWind]

Yay, thanks IH. My Thanksgiving resolution is to actually get a map completed.

I'll be working more on the graphics once I'm back from break and have my tablet back...

[AndyDufresne]

Look forward watching this map progress, I think it has some good potential.

There's 2 different types of Pueblos, major and minor.

Major Pueblos give access to the "Revolution Incitement" territories, which give a bonus based on how many "Revolution Incitement" territories you hold as well as how many minor Pueblos you hold. Major Pueblos connect to the territory below them.

Minor Pueblos are just part of territories. They only give you a bonus if you hold a certain amount of "Revolution Incitement" territories.

For example, if you held all 6 Revolution Incitement territories as well as Acoma, Estancia, and Isleta, you would get a +6 bonus because each minor Pueblo is now worth +2. If, however, you only held 4 Revolution Incitement territories you would only have a +3 bonus because each minor Pueblo would only be worth +1.

New update! See below:

Changes:
-Re-drew borders, overall graphic improvements
-Reorganized legend, I think it's less cluttered now. Replaced territory bonus info with a simple minimap
-Found a font that's great for the large version, but struggles in the small version
-Added the requisite first-post information

Need feedback on:
-Everything! Most importantly, basic gameplay and design.

Might as well post the required info here at the end as well:

Map Name: The Pueblo Revolt of 1680
Mapmaker(s): WestWind
Number of Territories: 52 starting + 6 Pueblos + 6 Revolution Incitement territories + 10 Religion territories = 74
Special Features: Bonuses for developing/defending religion, bonus for using your resources to incite a revolution
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: First, the subject matter is pretty unique. We only have a few maps that even mention the word "revolution", and few of those actually incorporate it into the gameplay. I also feel that adding a "culture" aspect to the gameplay gives it more depth and historical context. Also, this region of the United States (around New Mexico) has not really been used in a map yet, and it's a pretty unique area.

Im sorry for being a here, but it have taking me a while trying to understand the legend and i think i get it now, you can one way atack from the ground map in to the legend,
Its a nice gameplay you have come up with and Im not saying that you should change it, but in my opinion I think you need to make the rule more simple for the players of all kind (retardts like me), cut it out in cardbord or bend it in neon, take a look at Conquer Rome map http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=134778
not complitly same feature but kind of, where "capital of Diocesis can atack one way to Vicarius seat" I think thats very simply illustrated.

I like your dusty style, keep it up

Hm. I'm trying to think of easier ways to explain it than saying that the incitement territories are one way attacked by their corresponding Pueblo, and that the Pueblos connect to the terts below them. Illustrations are nice, but take up a lot of room and I'm not sure it would help out in this case. Any other re-phrasing you can come up with?

[Industrial Helix]

Just gonna sticky this one here...

maby you could call it "one way atacked by territorys with same name" instead of calling it "corresponding"

anohter thing, why are they placed so close together ?
