the filters you put on it look too textured than smooth, like the grain filter, and the one that puts the textured affect on th edges.
hmm...maybe something a little smoother would work, or maybe its just me that thinks this?


Aaaargh Tom! What are you telling me? I love that sea! :(

Me2, but id love it more if you made it more green.


But I look out of my window and I sea that blue sea not green. The Mediterranean is blue. I recognise the Mediterranean sea even in a movie. It's different from other seas. It's home. It's...well...it's the sea I learned to swim in! The sea where I caught a small squid (or was it a calamari?) and I just couldn't bear killing it so I released it again...ah happy memories. Hehe I'm in a strange mood today guys. Sorry! Seriously though...don't you think the Mediterranean is of a more blueish colour than a greenish one?

I have never seen the Mediterranean Sea :| I have no clue
Your call

I really hate the red on the top and bottom borders...it really stands out, and I dislike it. Proably toning it down? I don't really know.

Also, I can't really read the purple territory beside Hippo Regius and Cartenna. I think you should change all the purple background territories should have white text.

I have not seen the Mediterranean sea either...so I have no problem with the sea colour

Well, blue is the right color to use, but I don't like the shade of blue you've picked. I also don't like the texture on the sea very much...

The red is supposed to be Roman territory and the purple Carthaginian.

That territory is Iol. It's a strange name. Not lol but Iol. :) Perhaps I will try to change all purple territories to white.

Edit: Ah just understood what you meant about the red parts. You meant the top and bottom segments. Hmm do other people dislike them? I could change the colour of course.

Hmm. I might try some other shades in future revisions and make a poll?

No qwert that would be lame of me. Thanks for the offer though! ;)

Ah qwert. You know me so well my friend! :p Melita was a very important strategic territory during the Punic Wars. The Maltese revolted against the Carthaginians to join Rome and Rome made them a civitas foederati as a sign of gratitude, in other words allies not conquered people. The Maltese even sent representatives to the Roman senate!

Anyway I have always wanted to make a map about the Punic Wars. It's got nothing to do with Melita. :)

Sure,sure,melita its importan,because these,not because you from malta :lol:
Any way its interesting idea,but you need to give more ancient look of background and nonplayabile terittories.

I hate C! It's too dull for me (I wouldn't call it Aquamarine but whatever). A and B are both fine for me though. (B preferred)

Too bad I'm the only one voting for B in the 4 people poll so far.

Apart from the sea issue...does anyone have other comments to make about the map or gameplay perhaps?

I said apart from the sea issue Tom! :p

Honestly I think I'm going to stick with C. It's grown on me and the majority prefer it.

I voted for light blue (B).
I think it would work best with the colors (red and purple) on the land in the image.

I see that the water is really pixelated. Would you be able to smooth it out some? right now it is really harsh and doesn't really look like water.

:-k

I think the sea could use some work.

:lol:

On a more serious note, I think the territory name font is a bit small right now, and you certainly have room to make it larger. I also don't like how some names are black and some are white - maybe pick a single color that's legible on all backgrounds instead?

A and B its almost same,well to me.
C is best of these three,but i think that can be more contrast,you know darken away from shore,and lighter close to shore.(beaches)
