New Draft, Version 25:
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/topdog12/ZomMapLarge25vC.jpg

Changes:
-- increased the 'blueness' of the Haven names
-- tried out an effect on the Comic Sans font in the streets... I'm not sure if I like it or not, but I think it lends a more apocolyptic feel ...

Love the map really even with the neutral 3s but I agree that neutral 1s would make the play flow better/faster.

Anyway, I have one major clarity request, as I had similar trouble to my partner in the game that I'm playing in identifying which ships are Lee ships and which ships are Weather ships ...

I agree with ender, First thing I thought when I saw this was the blue "havens" not really looking blue... could you just swap the colors from the armored car/meat wagon to the street territories??

Gotcha, Dog, I'll do just that I think

kinda liked the term "cabal" over "gang". A church "gang ...

The bonus values themselves all look good to me now, very nice solution for splitting up the Chinese railway, love the extra station. =D>

A few things still that concern me...

There are no neutral starting regions now, yes? If so, what's the chance of dropping BJN Station, Rail O, TBL Station ...

Ahhh, excellent! The starting positions look most satisfactory to me now. Into the bulletin with this map!

Glad to see this back!

The blue colour of the Havens is not very noticeable. The only names that seemed blue at first glance are the Wheels, so the legend seemed to suggest that they one-way attacked each other. :?: Reexamining the map, I see that the Havens are the street regions other than ...

I've had a bit of trouble with uploading to photobucket, so Top Dog was kind enough to upload my latest effort. I'll update the 1st post shortly, but I wanted to get this out here as soon as I could to get some feedback.

If any followers of this map are left (it has been just over a year on ...

Been forever since I did a tourney, but this idea is just too awesome. Count me in!

Excellent, the starting positions are almost set I think.

Just 3 things (really 2):

(1) Judge Hathorn- not so keen on starting a player with a judge, since they can bombard the accused, and hence a starting position for every other player.
(2) Judge Corwin- see above. If you want some starting ...

Looks good :)

One question: are the 2 added sea routes going to be neutral or start open to deployment? I'd recommend starting them open for deployment, that way 1v1 games would have better starts. But the choice is yours.

One other small thing in your first post: delete the entry for starting ...

I'm confused about the 'third person'. Every one of the third persons is an Accused... are they a starting position? You state that they are neutral, but isn't all of the map neutral except for the starting positions?

Anyway, if you're grouping the starting positions by threes (which I think is ...

OK, first thing is your first post- it needs upadating! I realize sometimes the rate of updating seems worse than Microsoft Windows, but it really saves a ton of time.

The second thing is that this map looks sweet! :) I'm very glad that you have 2 stations here and that they are smaller- it opens ...

The topogrophy looks better, but both look good!

I like it. A few questions.

Who in a clan would nominate/award/generally manage the medals? Clan leadership is varied, for instance with DB we sort of just have an 'advisory council' but all clan business is open for discussion. Others have a more 'single-leader' approach. So essentially my ...

I'll reserve judgement until the final results of the wave are in... I know that Space is almost guaranteed to go to the Risk Attackers, mostly due to your evil efforts sdh

I'm not censorship person myself, and the less the better as far as creativity goes.

However, this site is privately owned, and owners call the shots. Also, the owner bears the responsibility and fallout of anything that goes on in his site. While the owner makes use of volunteers, and there should ...

And here it is- viola!

This doesn't mean gameplay discussion must end, but as the map is deemed to have met or exceeded the Foundry standard, the focus now turns to the graphics of this 'spiderweb' battle map ...

You're too fast koontz. I amended my post when I realized that 2 added non-neutral regions would make an overall more desireable number.

Although koontz's suggestion has some merit, I agree with Flapcake on not adding a 'ferry' region along the sea routes. They tend to be neglected because they aren't part of any bonus, and/or used as barriers, when the idea of a sea route is to add a border. At the very least they can produce a ...

I have a feeling that this map is about 2 smidgens away from a gameplay stamp, so don't despair

As for being in the bin, welcome to the club

I'm really liking the look of the circles- wow.

I've sent out the bulletin, so in a couple of days- if there is no gameplay advice from the community- this should get the gameplay stamp.

Congrats EvilD for the gameplay and layout- as you say in the intro, this idea has been tried many times without success, so it was an ambitious project from the start and you made it work. And congrats natty for the graphics and saving the map when rl took away EvilD's time- you know you're ...

I've made a temple icon and it looks great; replacing the big gate-arches with these will NOT reduce the Rome imagery/feeling of the map at all. Does anyone want to try to talk me out of the switch? My thinking is that besides the issue of ambiguity on what is or is not a gate, gates already have ...

Geez, only the first couple of rounds and it looks like it will be rough-and-tumble. Glad to have this war underway, should be fun

Well if every starting position included both an Accuser and an Accused, then the immediate bonus would apply to everyone, and that would be fair. Is there any chance that real historical pairings of Accuser and Accused would work on the map?

ooh, that would be neat if it could be done. Plus, it ...
