"""""""""are these connection lanes between ports and Ecuador and Chile needed? why not only "the ports are connect to each other"? - it could gives more moves. and I think connection with Ecuador and Chile is not needed."""""""

I wanted to make a net around peru, and we are not discussing gameplay anymore.

If i go for the large map first I'll have to remake the map again. :cry:

why? just enlarge the small one and do edits if something will not fit...

No no no, you can't do that. You can't enlarge bitmap graphics, it will result in loss of quality and artifacts. This is exactly why you should do the large map first: You can always resize down from large, but you can't resize up from small.

Well, do you have any other options? You'll have to make the large map eventually. It's better to do it now, then work on the large map until everyone is satisfied with it, then shrink it down to small and do the necessary edits and touch-ups. Trust me, it's much easier that way: the alternative would be working on the small map now, then having to do the large map later from scratch and trying to remember exactly how you did everything and repeating it in larger scale...

Don't feel discouraged. Mapmaking is hard work, but it will all pay off in the end.

Is there an update on this one? First that that appears to me is that we need bridges.

white caps on some of the mountains will give an illusion of height. also try a tree-like texture in the jungle, perhaps like the one in siege!, to remove the flatness.

in the legend, amend regional bonuses to zone bonuses. in peru, regiónes are areas such as arequipa or amazonas, not the bonus zones listed.

[Moved]

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. ;-)
