Skull and crossbones for a pirate map - yes!
Skull and crossbones for an Israel map - really?

Bridges, rectangle of wood texture. :roll:

Bridge Hazor to eastern war zone? Is that not the dead sea? It looks connected to me but it might be a river coming of. Either way, it is one body of water and would need to be treated as such.

Some first impressions, is that the legend text is somewhat difficult to read easily. The actual text for regions names isn't too bad, but some letters are difficult to make out... like 'a' and few others.

The color scheme also kind of feels off. The more muted colors you had on your Florida map generally worked pretty well. But these more vibrant and primary colors once again feel off.

In terms of gameplay, I'll have to give that a more thorough look.

lol, I was using more as a universal symbol for death

That's actually the Sea of Galilee, but hasn't been labeled or turned into a tert yet. The river between them is the Jordan, and keeps the two sides separate except for the limited crossing points.

A bridge across a sea would be strange. I think a boat would be more realistic. I still like the skull and cross bones representing death, but Koontz is the "Boss Man".

I cannot find any other death symbol. the only other option would be to not have it at all
maybe you can have a picture of Davey Jones locker

Yes it would. The bridge actually runs across the northern part of the Jordan River, which leads into the Sea of Galilee, and then out of the South and down to the Dead Sea. I'm planning to leave the bridge where it is and just label the sea, and not make it a tert.

Seamus, still waiting for a texture.

While you're waiting how about a Draft stamp and a move up?

I'm pretty sure this meets all of the requirements as it is.

Your getting their but no cigar today.

Dead sea 2, what does it attack? It goes from one side of the board to the war zone text. :lol:

I don't smoke that anyway, but let me know what else I can do to move this along.

Dead Sea 2 attacks Dead Sea 1, Kerioth, and Kinah. Are you just busting my bullocks or do you think players will not understand? :mrgreen:

by **koontz1973** on Tue Nov 06, 2012 11:58 pm

Sort out dead sea 2, mountains need to be finished, Some look good whilst others look sporadic (Masada). I looks like I can walk right through those ones. Texture for the land. Dead sea could use some love as well as the rivers.

Again, you are using the tribal wars name, you have that on old parchment paper because of the time period, what about this one?

by **generalhead** on Wed Nov 07, 2012 7:05 am

i will leave this to some one with more experience, but some of the highlights still seem a little loud. I like the text on the territories, but the text in the instructions (The ones to the right of the dead sea, and the one between Genesis and the legend) could they be more of a normal text. All else looks really awesome Seamus, Sweet map. It came along so quickly too.

As someone said already before, it's not very easy to read all the region names. Small letter "a" is too similar to "e" and "z", so I see "Nzzrzth" and "Gzzzr" and "Mzszdz"

Aside from that, map is perfect
