New Map: Space [Quenched]

[thegrimsleeper]

I'm no lack, but there wouldn't be any problem putting that character in the xml file, because Marv already did it in the Brazil map without any problems.

My opinion: Warp the Conquer Club logo slightly to go along with the contour of the ship, moving it up a bit higher on the fuselage... and add ...in Spaaace!"

Conquer Club...
...IN SPAAACE!!!

Tell me that wouldn't be awesome!!

Definetly... I liked the whole IN SPAAAACE thing but that just brings it to a whole new level

[Jota]

I could not possibly argue with that.

[freakshow]

yeah lets get this thing up, I'm psyched to be playing this.

[Jota]

And it's now in lack's hands. Just for fun, I'd like to celebrate by quoting from an earlier message in the thread...

This is the new map I'm working on right now. Note that the graphics are still a bit crude: I fully intend to make it nicer-looking before it's done, but I wanted some feedback on the layout before I did anything that would be too difficult to change.

And, for a comparison:




See? I told you I'd make it nicer looking.

[freakshow]

I don't know there was somethign to be said for those simple straight lines.

[onbekende]

Where you trying to make those warp gates into stargates or am I imagining things?

[Jota]

Not specifically, but stargates do have a similar look to what I was going for.

Do you like mine it's definately different they can never be told that they look the same

[KoolBak]

That's ALOT better!! Nicely done Jota.......

[HighBorn]

Final Forge

---The Space map* has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry furnace and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. There will be two days for you to post any objections; if no one has posted any protest after two days the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. If after two days there is still discussion going on it may continue until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

*(Note: most maps won't go through such a long waiting period as this map and the Ireland map.)

[Marvaddin]

I still think the stations would be a bad thing in team games... But it seems no one thinks that beyond me...

[Jota]

I do admit that what Marvaddin says may well be true: this map may be impractical for team games. On the other hand, I think that the stations will add an interesting new strategic element to standard games, and I feel that the trade-off is worthwhile.

[Haydena]

It's another twist for team games...

Whilst impractical, it puts forward the question of who needs a continent bonus more, and would force some more tactical descisions. I'd be willing to play it as a team map, it's different.

[reverend_kyle]

I like it, although i actually sort of think i liked the stations better on the original the fact its owned by both stuck out more.

[rocksolid]

Let's play it!

[reverend_kyle]

Let's play it!

lets do.

Quenching

The Final Forge period has concluded for the Space Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for live play (barring any Lack vetoes).
Conquer Club, enjoy!


--Andy

(Note to Cartographers: PM me when there is a general consensus in the Foundry that your map is ready for the 'Final Forge' stage, incase I miss a thread. Also make sure to look at the 'How To Create A Map' sticky.)

[Haydena]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet...

Let's play!!!

[Jota]

And it's up!

[garionoldwolf]

is it supposed to be where if you control a wormhole in an area but an opponent controls the rest of that area they don't get the continet bonus but if you control a warpgate and an opponent controls teh rest they do get teh bonus?

[Jota]

The wormholes are warp gates are not a part of the systems they're connected to. The wormholes are a continent by themselves that does not overlap any other continent, and the same is true for the warp gates.

[Haydena]

I must say, this map reminds me of the Crossword map in its confusing look, but it sure does look pretty, can't wait to play it, I'm waiting on 3 other players at the moment.

[Marvaddin]

Yes, it looks more confusing than I could imagine before. I think that te systems are a bit nearer than they should, maybe. But its ok until now.
