I'm not sure if its dead or not...

I've just lost most of my interest in mapmaking. Recently I've been focusing a lot on learning digital painting. Haven't had much of a desire to go back to mapmaking.....

Is there any logic for how you decided what names attack eachother? Or was it done randomly?

For example, why does the Italian guy only attack the russian guy and no one else?
If they're supposed to be sitting around a round table, shouldn't each person be able to attack both neighbors sitting next ...

The whole annoyance-bot thing is a double-whammy at the moment. Not only are captcha-recognising bots better, but there's also a rash of real 'users' from China who are creating accounts for heavens knows what purpose on phpBB3 forums. I'm having to delete a fake user about once a week on my forums ...

That is correct.

I think I remember you.

I'm considering taking this out of retirement and working on it again....
It'll give me something else to work on in Photoshop, at least. And I've learned a few new tricks ;)

For the village/starting position problem, I think it would work to instead of having the one super-village, I would have ...

I do cut lawns and do that its just that we cannot put anything else on our credit cards or through our bank account. If we could then I would. :)

Just posting something I wrote out for Bryguy a few days ago.

how to make realistic terrain (Oasis, Winter):

1. put all your terrain color on one layer. No textures, no shadows, no highlights, just green and brown and whatever colors you need to paint the land. Use different brushes and ...

1) The land texture is good, but there are a couple of things that you seem to have forgotten, such as lighiting. If theres a shadow, there has to be a light source, in which case part of the crater would be lighter
If you look at the original texture that I created, there is a shadow. The light ...

that means that they bought premium membership but have not yet completed the 4 games required to leave the ? rank.

I won't be able to devote enough time to joining this group.

But if anyone wants advice on making realistic terrain (see Oasis, Winter, and the terrain on the Crater map), feel free to send me a PM and I'll try to help out.

Is this the big update worth waiting for?

We could always just start a private group. I think someone did once, wca, just like a spur of the moment thing. No one said anything, I think .44 was there, maybe MrBenn too but if I recall correctly he left before saying anything [/offtopic]


We actually did that quite a few times. I don't ...

Does "north-south" mean that you start at one end and eat circles? And "east-west" that you eat lines?

Probably.

I vote east-west.

I was the first vote for pi. there was no bandwagon-jumping.

And FOS on wca. You seemed awfully eager to place your vote on pi despite the fact that a few pages ago you were dead set in voting no lynch.

I agree, that is one of the scummier things I have seen so far in this thread. Your suspicions seem pretty well founded which is why I am still choosing ...
