a) I personally feel the map looks better. Since when does the color of a territory depend on the location on the earth? Arctic was cited as an example but I am pretty sure the colors of the other territories do not represent the colors of the earth. Otherwise we would have green, brown and white.
So #2 CHECK. I have stated my case to keep the colors with a logical response.
b) I want to keep the colors from the original map.
c) This is not an aspect of gameplay. It is an aspect of color preference. Regardless of the colors of the territories (with the exception of making borders/names hard to read) the map will play the same.
d)A poll was started (I was not asked if I wanted a poll) and it showed that there was support for each style.

a. i feel the map looks worse with your choice. the white was very nice and crisp
b. i don't as they don't fit well with the new style
c. yes it will play the same even if you add little hearts and make the earth pink and put some poneys and unicorns on top but you won't do that would you?
d. there is support for ALL styles not specifically the one you chose so i don't really see this as an argument.
sorry if i'm perhaps too harsh but this is probably the first time i am really disappointed by a revamp and i think this is the first time i'm begining to feel sorry a map is being revamped.
I am sorry you won't play it because it does not look the way you like it. That is like saying you won't read a book because they changed the cover.DiM wrote:sorry but i won't play this one and i hope sometime in the future the revamps will be done as an optional choice where you can select what image to be displayed. the original or the revamp.

The problem is who regulates the number and who approves them? In theroy everyone could make there own map and the foundry would lose it purpose.DiM wrote:WidowMakers wrote:I think this would be a great idea.

And that works as long as there are absolutely NO changes other than graphics. Changing anything (attack routes, types of attacks or names of territories) would mean the old maps wouldn't work. But I think its a good idea to play on either version if they are the same. I know yahoo chess has an option to switch between a wood board or a green and white board, and this would be the same idea.
