[Abandoned] - Belgium

[Gnome]

Belgium

So this is Belgium as it is now, 10provinces and 1 capital province (brussel)
Every capital is divided in 'arrondissementen' (don't know how to translate)

that makes it 42 territorys and 11 continents.



Let me know what you think

Nice start gnome...i like the colours and the layout...not so keen on the legend, needs some work as it is too transparent for me...but nice work!

[Gnome]

ya I can see where it went wrong, I putted the background layers on top of the legend...that will get fixed in the next version

[serious_conq]

you mean you put them on top of the legend... go study your verbs lol.

I guess cairnswk is quite right, but I have another remark: why did you make 2 continents consisting of 1 country giving 1 and 2 army bonusses? It seems unfair to me, that when you start and you got Nijvel, you're doomed to win the game...

I think at that point the map is a bit too easy. You could better split it up. If you make it a 2 or a 3 bonus, either way is fine to me. It's just that you are far to lucky in deployments if you got that one.

Or you need to program it to a neutral all games, a solution too. But this way it doesn't work for me.

ya I'm still looking for the right bonuses, I just added them as an example, maybe I should make it 'vlaams brabant+waals brabant' bonus +4 and 'waals' brabant on it's own +1

[Gnome]

i think brugge isnt right, i think brugge lies where ieper is now on your map

Well I got everything from my own atlas and from wikipedia so I'm pretty sure everything is right...I tried to do everything as accurate as possible.

v4.0
details: switched layers to make legend readable
and changed waals brabant's bonus


I think I need some more impassable borders to make the gameplay better,
anyone suggestions about these?

[firstholliday]

a lot of continents....

[Gnome]

a lot of continents....

your point being?
A lot of people like to have quick bonuses so I don't think this is a problem

Hello Gnome,

Just as I was telling in earlier contact, you're map is GREAT! I like the style, backgrounds, colors, textures and borderlines. Also the images of "Manneken Pis" and "het Atomium". The legend with no "backgroundtable", I love it as it is transparent. Nice and original look.

About the gameplay. You can i.e. place impassible borders on Wallonië like some hills on it. That area has a lot of hills, so you can take them and make some borders impassible.

Some suggestions of mine:

1. Is it possible to make Halle-Vilvoorde, Leuven and Nijvel one continent and called it i.e. Vlaams-Waals Brabant? I like the bonus of Brussel.

2. About the names of the area of Wallonië (South-Belgium for those who don't know where Wallonië lies or see the map of BeNeLux ). Its a French Language area, so why aren't you put the French names on it?

But what I say in my first lines, I loved your map. With your Belgium map it makes the Low Lands area complete with the BeNeLux map already playable and the Netherlands in Final Forge. Its just waiting who will make the Luxembourgh map

Grtz

Not everyone here has English at a first language. I like the map, though.
