[Official] Middle East REVAMP [Quenched]

[DiM]

i'd like to see that funny man turn into a camel, which is much more middle east then some guy in a dress with a strange stick in his hand. what is that thing anyways?

that stick is a bow and that funny map is an archer. it looks like a philistine archer to me but keyogi says is parthian so i'll trust him

a camel looks like a cliche so i like the archer better.

[PimpCaneYoAss]

I like the current color...it adds to the middle eastern feel

i wonder how far he can throw those arrows since his bow has no string on it.

Keyogi posted the original picture of the archer on page 22. You can see the string in that picture.

ahh cool, I'll keep that page open when i play this map so i don't start thinking there is some lady shaking a dead snake in the corner.

[KEYOGI]

what?? do u mean my monitor is to dark or light?

I'm not suggesting either. All I'm saying is your monitor must be set up signifcantly different to mine.

And this one's for you mibi, one lady in place of the other.

[t.e.c]

ahaha! win!

[d.gishman]

Oh wow this map looks awesome... keep up the great work

I actually like the colours.. it seems to fit a certain theme. However, some thicker lines for the continent might help distinguish a little bit

[mibi]

thats too perfect! quench!

[hulmey]

hahaha...Qench

Have you slighty changed the colours again in Iran because i have a noiced a improvemnet??

[Coleman]

Too bad that covers up an important attack route.

No change.

No change.

Maybe his eyesight got better - hulmey, did you give up doing anything in particular?

[sully800]

your a bloddy genuis sully!!!! How on earth are you a multi hunter!!!

How are you meant to know without screwing your eyes up where the continents ends and start in Iran???

Well I'm with KEYOGI- I have no problem distinguishing any of the continent divisions. But I guess your eyesight problem cleared up if you're seeing it better now too

I really like the texture and coloring of the first gradient map you posted KEYOGI. A very nice blend of colors distinct enough to tell them apart, yet similar enough to all look like parchment.

[hulmey]

Well to tell you the truth i watched SAW 3 on the computer yesterday and it was so dark that i changed the monitor settings and completely forgot LOL...

Just a suggestion, I don't know if this has been discussed before, but could you make the borders between a continent and another bolder that the rest of the territory borders?

[KEYOGI]

Original


With gradient


With gradient and thicker continent borders


I still think the original is the best, but I don't mind the gradient look either. I dont think the thicker borders suit the rest of the map. Once we're past this colour/border issue once and for all I can focus on getting the map edge done.

[mibi]

original + thick borders. those gradients draw the eye all over the place.

and i like that arabic snake charmer you put next to the legend.

#3

#3

[Teya]

I dont think gradient and thick borders are needed. So either original and thick borders or just gradient.
I prefer the gradient.

[Ruben Cassar]

I cannot see any difference between #1 and #2. What are these gradients exactly?

[Wisse]

#3 but if you can make the border a bit less thick it will be perfect

[KEYOGI]

I cannot see any difference between #1 and #2. What are these gradients exactly?

In each continent, the colour starts darker at one end and gradually gets lighter across the continent. I have a feeling you have some colour blindness, is this correct Ruben? Do you have a preference between the three?

#3 but if you can make the border a bit less thick it will be perfect

Hmm... the original borders are drawn with a 1 pixel pen and the thicker ones are drawn with a 2 pixel pen. Pretty sure there aren't any 1.5 pixel pen options.

Hmm yes I am mild colour blind but to be honest I cannot see this gradient thing in #2 so I guess it's worse than I thought. Hehe.

I think #3 is best for me then.
