Too bad. I was sort of curious to what you create.

I do have an IS account. I think it's VicFontaine, still. Or Vicfontaine80 or something like that.

i don't want to be a party pooper but is this map really happening? i have no major interest in mississippi but i do have one on your start trek map. what i'm worried about is that on each map it's the same story. months after months you keep saying you're working and working and yet you don't have even a crude draft. nothing.
you're getting the hopes up for many people and you're building hype with words like "it looks fantastic" and yet nobody has seen anything in months.
if you say you're working on it just show us your work regardless of what stage it is.
there's nothing to lose if you do this. you have only advantages by posting here. if your draft looks bad or if it has flaws then people will promptly tell you what to change and how to change. there's no point in working for months on an image only to post it and get trashed as soon as you do and waste all that work.

Lemme see how I can remember to do that here...eh....uh...

VicFontaine wrote:WHAT STILL MUST BE DONE:
1) Some fonts are hard to read.
2) Some cultural treasures' images are not on the map next to their names, which are on the map.
3) Some cities are in the wrong place.
4) There is no legend/explanation of gameplay, nor are the connecting dotted lines showing attack paths that are needed in some areas (e.g., Steamboats, cities connecting to their universities)
5) The universities are not on the map, though Ole Miss is represented by a Cap (which will change)
6) There is one missing highway around the Oxford/Ole Miss area. It's absence joins two named territories that need to be divided (highways are all the black lines that act as territory dividers. Interstates are obvious and not the same as highways.)
7) Some of the coloring is still a tad off.
I'd still like one more Cultural Treasure, "Hunting," on the map. It has neither name nor image at present.
9) The possibility of an objective win: I like this. Don't know what it would be, but perhaps holding the Universities or all the Cultural treasures, plus the Capitol of Jackson.
