The 8's need to be centered on the circles..

Overall I think the map needs a slight bit more texture of some kind...

Bruceswar, i am well-aware of the centering situation now having 35 maps quenched.
This was preliminary 888s showing that there is no overalpping...the rest will come after graphics stamping.

I rather feel there is enough texture on the map :)

I figured as much, but I can only go off what I see. :)

That's fine, but realise that i only do centering properly at final stage.
if there are others who feel texture needs increasing, then i will change. :)

Since this had been graphics stamped, is it possible to move it to xml stage with indicators on map foundry page please. :)

Cairns,

Sorry about the late reply. My aunt and uncle came home for a surprise visit for 3 days to visit from 3000 miles away, so I tried to spend as much time with them as I could!

Anyway, down to business.

I found some discrepancies between xml-map. "S Somali" in XML says "S Somalia", same with east. I feel like it should be somalia, but I will let you decide that.

Other than the names, the borders are clear, the neutral starts are clear, and the bonuses are clear.

One thing that isn't XML related, though. From a graphical standpoint, it seems as though the cities can be attacked by the country they are next to (eg AA to Sudan). It was only then did I realize it was a blown-up version of the city sitting in NW Oromia. Is there anything that could be done to make it clear these do not border? Perhaps just make the outline around the city bolder? I dunno.

I will gladly stamp this after the names are settled. The city thing isn't resting on XML, so that can happen whenever or even after beta if the community feels like that as well.

Fixed, same with N. Somali i found also.

I've put a small border around those "buildings" - this should suffice :)

          Beta - Quenching

---The development period has concluded for the Ethiopia Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Admins or Foundry Foreman vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

              Image


While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:
    1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
    2. It is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.
    3. Write a "creative" map description and send it to the Foundry Foreman via PM. You're encouraged to post it into the first post of the thread as well; the description will be used to populate the maps database.

Just FYI, the spoil is also "South Sedan"
Enjoying this map by the way, it's really good for 1:1 speed games.
