I have to disagree with nolefan, I quite like the bridges. But that's pretty subjective I think, so whatever on that point.

I haven't posted in this thread yet, lol.

Oops, meant nola_lifer or whatever. Your names are very similar.

WHATEVER!? He is a nole come on now! Game play looks solid. Things are reaaaaallllll slow here.

Very nice cairnswk, as always

I think this should be moved forward, its way past draft stage, gameplay and graphics are where the discussion goes

At this point I have nothing to add, becourse I know, the small graphic adjustment Iv seen needed, you already are aware of, otherwise Il be back

This looks fun. I like that it's a continuation of another map.

Here you go cairnswk. A long time coming I know. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

The neutrals for the cities can probably lowered. 5 neutrals on a map this small almost guarantees they will never be taken even as part of the bonus.

Is there a reason why N. Afar starts as neutral? Is this for the golden number? If so, I would suggest making it a region with less importance as far as moving across the map...a region like SSW Oromia, SBG, or NBG.

As far as the bonuses are concerned, they all look good, but you might think about increasing the bonus for the continent that contains DIre Dawa to a +4 and the continent that contains N. Afar to a +3.

As it appears development on this map has stalled (see below), this map is being Moved to the Recycling Bin for the time being. 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.

I know you're caught up in uni cairns, so once you've updated this one, I will move it back to the MFW.

In that case, you'd better bin all the vacation maps since it is long past their "valid to" date

[nolefan5311]

NVM, I see what you meant. They've all been changed.

[cairnswk]

Version 5.
"Building" on map have been changed.
This might make it clearer for some.

OK, lowered to 3.

No, it has more to do with the drop probability on a 3 region continent. We all know that is usually solved with placement of a neutral. Same with E/W SSNPR

As far as the bonuses are concerned, they all look good, but you might think about increasing the bonus for the continent that contains DIre Dawa to a +4 and the continent that contains N. Afar to a +3.

Done in V5 for all continents that contain a "building". but N.Afar contintent left at +2....it doesn't contain a "building".

[x-raider]

Much better what you've done with the buildings.
Glad to see this is picking up again.

[koontz1973]

Moved for you cairns.

[cairnswk]

Moved for you cairns.

Thank-you koontz

[cairnswk]

Any suggestions for this map?
