Tamriel map of the Elder scrolls [Done]

you guys are conspiring against me. I like the gradient in the oceans in the poll...but i'm not a big fan on gradients in the ocean just in general. Real oceans dont have gradients...

sure they do. From the sun. I think. Maybe

by **Derwiddle** on Wed May 03, 2006 2:30 am

I think it looks much better, though I still like the gradients whether they're realistic or not. Brightens it up. Lol :wink:

So then it appears that your map is being played at sunrise. But we will be playing the map all day long stomper! Ever think of that! lol

What better time to attack than at the crack of dawn?

by **Hoff** on Wed May 03, 2006 11:17 am

how bout at night when your enemy is sleeping?

These aren't the modern times with night vision and whatnot. We can't see at night. Bad idea.

Guys, this is going to be an awesome map and sorry for not saying anything earlier, but maybe if the mountains are on a different layer you can tweak that layer's colour levels a little so that the mountains look less like poo.

Small Map

Ok, i'm done. And its about time. i need to learn now. This is my submission to Lack. Thanks to all of you for your input and making this map rock. Hopefully I'll find some time this summer to come up with another.

What about magic? This is Tamriel after all. there is such a spell as night eye.

ugh that ocean...i gotta go throw up.
haha

Well lets see...

---It looks playable, though I would've liked some sort of shadow for the flag...just something that would help enhance a well created map.

Edit: I meant under the flag, some sort of shadow showing the time of day.

I'll have to give it a playtest when it is up!

There is a shadow... Maybe I'm seeing things but I see a small fuzzy little shadow behind the flags.

by **Banana Stomper** on Wed May 03, 2006 9:46 pm

now that i think about it, i may have meant to put some more thought into the locale of those flags. Who knows, we'll see how they play in the games.

Useless spell, never bothered with it, heh.

by **AndyDufresne** on Wed May 03, 2006 9:48 pm

Well once everyone gets a play test or two in, we'll chime in on if there are better positions, I could maybe think of a few though, but we'll see how everything turns out.

Yes let the play testing begin

by **Banana Stomper** on Mon May 08, 2006 9:20 pm

well, i'm starting to wrap up my first game here.....getting owned might i add. haha. regardless. I think the bonuses may be too high...

by **AndyDufresne** on Mon May 08, 2006 9:53 pm

I soon will have an open spot, and will hopefully get to play test your map. I'll chime in with my own thoughts later once that is going on, and then if there is a general consenus among quite a few people some changes can be implemented.

I've seen alot of talk about these embassy flags.. but.. what are they?

by **Banana Stomper** on Wed May 10, 2006 1:46 pm

They are extra bonuses. If you hold the blue continent for example you get the standard bonus of 5 i believe. If you hold the country with the blue flag as well, you get another 2 armies added.
