Philadelphia: BETA - image/xml updates - 4/17

Liking the look of it. The only thing that sort of comes to mind now is that the legend text isn't as easy to read as say the gameboard text for the regions, probably because it is in a more fluid and writing style.

But good work.

Slowly.

I love the underdog factor, that is so unique. Beautiful map!

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.

Feeling a lil cramped on the small map, mainly in the inset, and the minimap. Also trying paths with out the arrow ends on the small map what does you guys think? And I see the 1 pixel artifact on the right side of the small map, I have already rectified this for the next update.

Well, if you act like a dead person, we will hold a wake for you, get completely pissed and pass around funny stories of when e knew you.

Back you go.

For how long this time, we can only guess.

[RedBaron0]

If I'm lucky... 2 more years.

RB0, right now, my impression is this: with the style of map you have chosen, you are not likely to get it any better. People will say that this or that needs changing, but this is likely to be all opinion. Graphically, their is nothing really wrong with it apart from the small maps text. A little hard to read but again, that is something people can get over very easily so does not really need changing. Lets see if we can get this moved on.

[RedBaron0]

yeah that's my impression as well, I'll tweak here and there and see if I can't squeeze a point or 2 of legibility out of the small map text.

RB0...only things i can't read on the small map are the story and the bridges and underdog bonuses....fwiw
but then i could always look a the big map to see what is what, but some others might not do that.

[RedBaron0]

I could leave the story off the small map all together, have it just be a large map perk. Move the underdog and bridge legend stuff over to that portion of the map? Or even cut it out of the map entirely, then I can expand on the main bonus section, break up the mini map along the left side of the map?

Mmm. would that not lose the essence of the map, and particularly since most players seem to prefer the small maps. Up to you.

For the story, just increase the spacing between the lines to have each line on a row of bricks. I like how the mini-map is on the versions in the OP better IMHO, as they are clearer and easy to read. I thin this one should be ready to move on up soon.
