Looks amazing - love what you did with the minimap area!

I agree with what Oak said - vague comments are useless. It's also a pain when someone posts comments that have all been addressed, or are marked in the first post as "please don't comment on this, I know these things need changing already." Here's an example:

Graphically it is kind of dark. The ...

I apologize again for not responding sooner, been very busy with real life stuff. I'll respond to everything...sometime next week

Big thanks to everyone who has commented!

Sorry guys, been buried under schoolwork again. The only thing suggested above I don't agree with is a bridge from Central Greece to Peloponesse, mostly because I find the bridges ugly and that that connection doesn't add much to the gameplay. Everything else will be changed - I'll try to fit in ...

What im mising?
basically, you have 19 groups, with 4 combinations in each. That right there is more than 35, to say the least ...

I think killer neutral would be better than decay on the ice routes. Ice routes are something you pass over quickly, not something you hold onto for periods of time. But I agree that they should be made thinner.

This is looking good

does dubrovnik touch montenegro? it looks like it does, but it's not 100% clear

Yes, it does. Anyone else have trouble seeing this? Should I exaggerate the border?

Here's the latest version, with the changes Iancanton suggested on the previous page. Below is a version with 88s, in blue, which I ...

I think the Kyklades connections are more understandable now that the path to Euboea is gone.

There are two army spots on Plovdiv :oops:

I'll throw up a version with 88s shortly. I believe they'll be able to fit on all territories, but we'll see. If they don't fit, I have room in the legend to ...

Ian, your analysis is spot on as always! I'll change all that for the next version. My only concern is the land bridge from Attica to Euboea - I don't think there's room now. I might have to fudge the Attica border with Central Greece further west.

Captainwalrus, I was reluctant to do this earlier ...

i was thinking that you could make the dotts smaller, and closer together, i think that that would look better.
The dots became too invisible when I made them smaller, but I liked the look, so I also darkened them. I think they're better now. But the change is too minor to warrant a new version ...

I would like to see the blue of the water be darken so it sticks apart better from the land. Also make the edge of the land seem more of a border, a a quick glance it seems the land just begins to turn blue
Great Map

Disagree on both counts. The water's brightness is fine - if anything, saturate ...

Major apologies for the ridiculously long period of inactivity on this! But here's the next version. I think I incorporated all the comments mentioned above that regard gameplay. I've read everything, but have not made changes to the minimap, title, bridges, or Kosovo stripes yet. Those can be saved ...

Map Foundry: 87 ++
Much Ado About Nothing: 24 --

I've been swamped with schoolwork lately, but I'll try to get a response in to all the above comments later this week. Sorry for the delay, and thanks for all the comments!

as mentioned by _42 , montenegro does not split neatly into two parts, so let it be a neutral-starting single-territory bonus, like kosovo. give an extra territory to slovenia, with the names in the unplayable area. let euboea be part of greece as a tenth territory. this will preserve the nice ...

I'd go a bit lighter than Mibi's green, but definitely use Mibi's water, and darken/desaturate the grass a bit. I could go either way on the beaches.

HELLO
NICE MAP, GOOD WORK

only one thing that bothers me because i am from Montenegro

dont divide Montenegro to Podgorica and Niksic.. theese are only 2 cities in 30 km ..

my sugestions :

Sjever ( north ) & Jug ( south )
or
Sjever ( north ) & Primorje ( Coastal Area )
or
Sjever ( north ...

I think if we make enough small bonuses, the drop rate will even out.
let me demonstrate by using the example of flipping a coin, whre p(xhyt) is the probability of there being exactly x heads and y tails.

2 flips: p(2h)=1/4=25%, p(2t)=1/4=25%, p(1h1t)=2/4=50%; 50% chance of even split.
4 flips ...

adding euboea will be fine for gameplay. at the moment, that big grey island simply looks annoying. classic north america has 3 borders and 9 territories, just like our greece. one more territory won't make much difference to the fact that greece remains an excellent place to grow slowly in a ...

for me it's everything ok but I'm not relevant :)
:D

Wow, this map looks great.

1) The legend is slightly confusing, but as DJ said, its easier than some maps' bonus systems. Personally I think it looks unique and that it should stay as it is :)
2) Kykaldes is slightly harder to read. Maybe ...

I don't have an issue with this because I always use the large, but if I was someone who had small as default, I would probably not be happy with the size of the small.

I GOT SERVED wrote:Does Epirus border Central Greece? That border seems somewhat vague in my opinion. Could you either add/remove a mountain or two in order to make that clearer?

They do border. I will make this clearer for the next version.

Come on guys, no one has gameplay thoughts?

So the only difference between this and the current system is that people who want it get a PM to remind them that there's a map nearing the final forge? Seems somewhat useless...wouldn't most people just comment on the maps that are at that stage anyway if they're interested in the map? I mean, it ...

You could add the other Greek island as another territory (the one that is currently grey)... I'm not sure what it's called though.. I think it's Khalkis or Euboea or Evia...
You've also got the Ionian Islands (Corfu, Lafkas, kefalonia, Zakyanthos) off the West coast of Greece

But Greece is ...
