Yes, PLEASE put up a poll about the map graphics. Find out if people really do support the outer space theme, or if they would prefer a different style.

I have just skimmed (ie not read in great detail) this thread - and it appears that the biggest criticism of the map is the lack of thematic integrity.

Personally, I would take some time to address this concern.

Pork and Rask, you guys really should listen to MrBenn.
Many people are complaining ...

UPDATE...THE FIRST...POST!!!!!!


And I agree with what others have said, the outer space graphics really detract from the overall theme of the map. You are describing a historical event, but you're putting it in a sci-fi setting, making things really confusing.
If I didn't know what you were ...

About the hundredth time I've suggested this.

Lots of territories are bordering two territories that have matching numbers, especially around the north borders of Ga'h
It will just cause problems and people attacking the wrong things, because people will attack the wrong 7 territory and mess things ...

Here's an interesting post Robinette made a few years ago. With this trick, I got my score up to nearly 3000 points before I got bored with it. Cheating really gets tedious and boring at times.

Legitimate cheating is really difficult on this site...

The card hack program that i wrote just has too ...

I thought that was the whole reason you were making it upside down. To represent how they saw the world.

Your first post looks like crap.
Put Pork's version up there, even if it isn't finished yet.

And whats with all the lucky charms shapes? Does each symbol means something different?

Why are you using that map you have in your first post instead of Pork's version?
His looks quite a bit better than what you've got now.

EDIT: Go update your first post! I had assumed that the mess you have on page one is your most recent image. The point of updating the first post is so we can see ...

Quench everything.
Espedcially Doodle Wars, with the Emperorial Dinosaurs territory.

Can you tilt it two more degrees to the left? I think it would look better that way.

no.

That was very educational.

I haven't posted much in the foundry recently, but I wanted to say that I really like the graphics on this map.
Nice work!

Didn't he promise that around two years ago?
Its not going to happen

If you have a few close friends you want to invite, I'm sure that would be fine.
Just don't go sending your invite to every person that has ever visited the forums. That'll just make people mad and give your group a bad rep.

does that mean that if you were to print out your Ukraine map, It would be less than 3 inches by 3 inches?

pretty much.

If he's planning on printing it at 300dpi and having a high quality image, his picture should be very big. Near 10k pixels wide, at least. He just has to resize his image a lot ...

if your forum ban was removed, do you think you would join right back in with the CC community, posting around the forums and maybe making a map or two? Or have you found a new place to spend your time?

that was a good game.

Do people actually buy those things?
$30 seems like way too much for a simple tan and blue version of the earth...

Posting the link is fine, its probably a good site.
It just looked kinda like spam cause you used a referral link instead of just a link to the main page

why not just build in a quick XML feature that can specify what word should be used with the map?
Then each map can have a custom name for its units. Such as 'soldiers' 'armies' 'warships' 'aliens' whatever you want.

Direct link to the site so you don't have to use this guy's referral link.

this is disappointing.

good luck with whatever you choose to do, sinc. Sorry I couldn't help with the graphics more.

I would enjoy another competition.
I agree, except this time without all the cheating and allegations of cheating.
Come again?

One part of the most recent competition had a few members that were accused of cheating the poll. Everything was supposed to be anonymous, but a few users were accused ...
