Krazy Kingdoms [D, GP] - Cleaner Small Map 5/1

[dolomite13]

I did a lot of map work last evening but I can't post it yet, it would just look like a jumbled mess at this point but it is moving along and should have new graphics and icons by the weekend. At least thats how the progress is looking.

Now I just need to get an evening away from the wife on a week night ... hmmm...

If you tell her in the morning you are going out with the guys drinking and to a strip club after work, she will be more than happy when you get home and tell her guys and strip club is a Euphemism for conquer club and maps.

The good thing about this is when you really want to go, tell her a friend is helping you out at the strip club and she will be more than happy to let you go.

Hehe ... I need to be careful about that strip club idea... she know that a strip clup just opened across from where I work.

Jungle 3 and Forest 2 will not be adjacent to start zones on opposite sides of chasm's ... the next map (with toned down colors) will reflect that.

Stop posting the updates and start posting the updates if you know what I mean. If not then give us a map, not words and your actions will be rewarded in the fullness of time.

Hows the new strip club?

[dolomite13]

I just like making you look at the rainbow map

... what strip club? ...

[dolomite13]

OK I got the sketch of the main map done and scanned and cleaned up.. I toned down the colors and completely took the artistic direction in another direction. I think this is feeling much more like they way I envisioned this map. I took off the icons in the version as I am still working on them as well as some small texture effects for each terrain type.

This is PHASE 1 ... I will add the icons back to the map and I have some textures for each terrain type to add in PHASE 2

Bloody glorious. Not got time to go over it now as kids have to go to school but will look later. But the bottom of the map is blank. What is going there?

I have to get the icons back on the map and then that blank space at the bottom is to be filled in with more descriptive text detailing the connections over chasms, maybe info about "favored" territories etc... not sure yet but I wanted to make sure I had enough space to add lots of descriptive iconography or text if needed at this is a rather odd map

I will have another better draft late tomorrow... I just need to get to bed now.

Best I can do for today... may or may not have time this weekend to work on it more.

I changed how Wizards work a bit. Its similar to barbarians but not the same.

I think that this is going in the right direction.

dolomite, I think you are ready for a sticky now. Will see if anyone has any objections. If not, will stamp this on Monday for you.

Wow, this looks about 500% better than it did before. Very well done.

Regarding the new wizard setup, can the Maelstrom attack anything? It doesn't say that it can or cannot that I see, yet it says that it auto-deploys 2 each round. What's the auto for if it doesn't attack anything? Does it work like the Demons/Underworld, with the Maelstrom itself bordering and being able to attack each of your favored territories? If so, that's not really all that clear with how you it worded there.

Also, it's a little confusing having S1, etc. used twice, once for the swamps and once for the seas. Not quite sure how best to change it, but it probably does need changing just for gameplay clarity purposes.

Other than those two things, I can't see anything else to comment on, other than to say that this looks amazing. Very nice work here dolomite.

Ok, actually, re-reading the Wizard description, it does say that the Maelstrom borders your favored territories, which means that it can attack them.

Hmm, it's a little confusing the way it's worded, although the point did come across after a few times reading it. Maybe it can be worded better? It is a little confusing at first, at least for me it was.

Yep that needs a bit of revision to make it clearer. OOps on the seas/swamps I need to make the seas Sea 1, Sea 2 etc and leave the swamps S1 S2 etc... or come up with a new name for swamps or seas. Maybe Lakes or Oceans... hmmm...

Thanx for catching that.
