Kingdom of Denmark [Quenched]

[koontz1973]

Flap, sorry for being late to this, but can I ask you to have a quick look at your text at the bottom of the small legend [Osterseen + Kattegat are not part of any bonus], to see if you can sharpen it up a tad. Apart from that, great work and lets see this quenched.

Bonuses in the east look hard to keep (not a bad thing).

They seem that way but they are being taken.

As for the changes in the style of mini map to the large, I have not noticed the differences till now that they have been mentioned. Not a huge thing to mention now and not really anything worth holding this up. Quench it.

so yes i feel you are littel late with so major issues, what I would like to see it that you make some comments in the foundry, thats what we realy need, more people who helps out mapmakers in the early progress.

sure, i'll go there more often.

But you comments are heard, and only if the majority of CC agree with you changes can be done.

thanks, but ok to ignore them, looks good in its own right and better than a lot of other quenched maps.

Well duh, but try convincing the site admin of that... they pretty much don't give a shit about the foundry at this point, as long as maps keep coming out... But I digress...

I don't think this map needs any serious graphical changes at this point, in fact unless any gameplay flaws show up that haven't been addressed yet I think this can be pushed out the door.

Nice work on the map guys!

I just have a small remark to do. The autodeploys from the shields might be too much. And not only because of the isolated bonus 'per se', but especially if you combine them with the bonus zones (continents) where they're inserted:

Ost Jylland has 5 borders and gives 5 troops bonus where you can had a +2 bonus from the autodeploy (a/d) well placed on one of its borders. That is +7 for 5 borders. Even more profitable if you take Alborg, which will substitute 1 border for an extra +2 a/d. And that will make +9 troops for 5 borders...

Same for Syd Jylland and Ost Sjaelland.

I'd recommend notching those bonuses down to +1 (reducing shield's neutral starters from 3 to 2 could also be acceptable...eventually)

Thx for your comment Kabanellas. The reason that we went from +1 to +2 autodeploy on shields was to inspire players to go for the winning condiction, as ther was a lack of it with the +1 version, It have shown that it works very vell. players use the condiction more now. The 3 neutrals was also in effect from the +2 to give it some kind of balance.

I like thise condictions much more than the previous ones.

Good call! +2 is needed to give them enough importance. I don't think the victory condition is worth going for in 1v1 but definitely in larger games.

Btw your spruces are pretty darn cool ! Did you use any special tool?
The reason I'm asking is that I need to work on my vegetation in Nigeria and if I could get my trees to look that good, I'd be very happy with them !

In 1v1 bonuses arent even attractive, that goes for almost any map, the victory condiction are reasonable attractive in multi player games.

Trees, try find some clip art ones, then model them with colours, shadows and ohter effects, to make them different induvidual.

[chapcrap]

I also see no issues with the map. The autodeploys are good. The graphics are good.

A minor thing: on the map is svendborg, in the xml is svenborg

I think this one is ready. Haven't played any games on it recently, but the 3 or 4 I played a while ago were great games. Awesome job, Flapcake!

not so fast. there seems to be a discrepancy between the xml and the map image.
the cities are supposed to get +2 autodeploy according to the map image but the xml is coded with just +1.

Updated! I'll keep an eye on games to see if everything is correct, if you can do the same it would be great! When we're sure about having everything in the right place we can move on.
