Formerly the Map Ideas Thread, now CLOSED

So:
Planets, moons, stars: wcaclimbing.
Space stations: Telvannia & anyone else that wants to make some, we'll just take the best ones.
Country/continent layout: gimil
Making the final map: Coleman or someone else.
Writing the XML: Coleman or someone else.

That's what I think anyway.

Yes thanks Coleman...i think i'll pass on this one.
I have other projects that i'd like to work on in development, and think the people you've selected are far more appropriate to doing the sci-fi artwork.
They look fab, and I'm sure you'll have a great map. Good luck everyone.

Does anybody think this map could be made into a CC map

by **Gilligan** on Sat Jul 28, 2007 8:47 pm

I have nothing against you or the map, but copyright issues.

Snakes and ladders was briefly tried in the Early Foundry.

no. whats the point?

by **wcaclimbing** on Sat Jul 28, 2007 10:45 pm

So, coleman, could you get a VERY basic layout of the map set up so i can make the planets?

I just need to know
where each planet/moon goes
where each space station/object goes (so i dont color over where they should go)
what color each planet/moon should be
what texture (rock, gas, etc) are each object.
How big each planet needs to be.

A simple drawing in microsoft paint will work. i just need colored circles for where planets need to go and marks where other objects belong. Be sure to include an area to fit the map key so we dont have to cover over any of the background.

How does everyone like this map???

Holding all the numbers 1 through 9 does not count as the +10 bonus if you are holding that continent. The 9 numbers must be in 3 different continents to receive +10 bonus. (DELETED)

Also, should the bonuses be higher? Basically, I added 2 to the number of territories needed to defend each continent, should I add two or three instead?

Territory Count: 81

NO DIAGONAL ATTAKS

It should be spelled "attacks". And no, I don't like this map. It's too similar to crossword.

I thought there was already a Sudoku map with diagonal attacks included.

by **Skittles!** on Sun Jul 29, 2007 1:05 am

Too many times has people tried to do Sudoku, and isn't there already one in production?

by **Spockers** on Sun Jul 29, 2007 1:14 am

a sudoku will never work.

Well I decided to make a map on my trip back in June, I made it in Gimp, and here it is. PLz post comments:

what about them?

What do you want comments on exactly? Graphics or gameplay?

Texture with the 'ocean'- It just doesn't suit with all the colours you've chosen, maybe make it lighter, or just change it completely.

Arrows - Either make them a different colour, or just make them different somehow. They don't mix well with the background texture.

Colours - Ichill Island colour looks like it'll conflict with the normal teal coloured armies.

Symbols - Why do you have two diffrent ones when they mean the same thing?

Symbols - That's because I don't want to have it be able to attack all of them with one, I think 2 of them are better, those I forgot to put the second one on Centeal

Ocean - Uh, I still did to learn how to fix that. :lol:

(There is a slow way though.)

Arrows - WEll okay, any suggestions for colors.

Colours - Ya, it probably will. I didn't think of that.

With the Arrows, are they meaning one way attack, or both ways?

Another thing; the legend isn't all the straight, and will you eventually put the font sizes down to a smaller size so it doesn't press up and be confined in the legend?

One way.

And I probably will if people think I should.

If they're one way.. then when someone get's the yellow continent, they can just have it and have to only defend Mourneo because the arrows are stopping another attack route in.
