Senate Map [Quenched]

[Sargentgeneral]

regarding oaktown and Bad Speler:

Or, you could just remove them both. If both the barriers were gone, it would add to the attacking theme of the map.

[sully800]

-You have misspelled 'environment' and 'Defense'

-Must words in the country names start with capital letters, but on the podium the countries with 2 words don't have the second word capitalized.

-I would put 'podium' below 'tv media' in the key so it is symmetrical.

Defence is the British spelling.

[AndyDufresne]

Which wouldn't make sense for this map. :-\

The red side needs a Jay.

I absolutely agree.

I love how you did the impassable borders and if you look at it right, it looks like the senate floor desends with each level, which it actually does, and then ascends at the podium. Great map I would suggest putting in a connection on the bottom of the map too, because, if i looked at it correctly, a person could hold an entire half of the map with only two borders.

[reverend_kyle]

theoretically you could have south floor as your only border.

[KEYOGI]

When this idea was first suggested I thought very little of the map and idea. Seeing how it has developed though, I look forward to playing the map. Excellent work.

This map is great! A few suggestions though:

1. In the legend, you seem to have TV media and print media mixed up
2. Consider removing the wall between education and tobacco at the bottom of the map; currently the only way to get from one half to the other is throught the podium

1. Oops. SNAFU on my part.
2. Concentrating the only left-right movement to the podium is kinda in keeping with the theme.
If I open up a border somewhere, where would be the best place?
a. Kenny-Pam
b. Tabloid-CNN
c. Education-Tobacco

Hmm. maybe time for a poll?

Spelling: Some say I've used Brittish spelling, but wouldn't International English (I thought I was using) be preferable? Note that we are not all US Americans playing here.

Yes, I missed the capital S in the security (both of them).

The symmetry of the whole bottom area of the gameboard works better with three blocks to the far right. It creates a visual counterweight to the dominating colours and text to the left. Originally I had it centered but just didn't feel right.

[Marvaddin]

Beyond the bonuses of the parties being a bit low, the continents of the lobbies being too difficult to reach each other, and a complete lack of appeal, no main problems to me...

I still think that a CC senate would be much better... whats the main problem about this idea?

What the hell is Sierra Club? Or NRA?

Since the map is the US senate, I think you should use the US spelling of defense. I understand that not everyone on the site is American, but the map is.

That's fine then. I had just looked at the latest image and thought it looked strange being right aligned. Ideally you wouldn't have one block on its own line like that, but to change it you would need to do a single row for all 7 places.

[glee]

i like the idea of left to right connections going through the podium

[btownmeggy]

Sierra Club is an environmental lobby. NRA is a "Gun rights" lobby.

Good Idea! I'll check if it can be done single row.

[quote="Marvaddin"]Beyond the bonuses of the parties being a bit low...[quote]

Yes, bonuses. I would appreciate some feedback regarding them. Any suggestions as to what levels would be appropriate?

[qeee1]

I think bump the party bonuses to 7, leave all the others.

I really like the left right divide thing, gives the map something to distinguish it from other maps, allowing for nuances in strategy, don't open another border.

Also change title of map to U.S. Senate, there are other senates in the world.

qeee1 makes a good point for what you were trying to say.


add a jay on the red side.

[piggypnk14]

great job on the map and all but i noticed ur print media and tv media colors need to switched lol great job though

[Coleman]

It isn't really a huge deal to me but I agree with those that believe the United States spelling of Defense should be used for a U.S. senate map.

More importantly if you keep the podium the only left to right access it is going to be very hard to hold and I'm not sure if the bonuses reflect that.

Are people really prefering a US senate than a CC senate? Whats US compared to CC????? NOTHING!

And I would like to be senator...

About the poll I voted education - tobacco (hmmm, what a strange connection )

[Fitz69]

The red side needs a Jay.

Why Jay?
Or do they need a Jay?

What color?

As for the CC Seate Idea youve been quite alone in voicing this opinion. Personally I like it, but I like even more to feel that I'm messing about In the US Senate. (yes, the last two elections left me a wee bit frustrated..)
I hope to see this map become very popular during 2008.
