how does sewage work around laundry/kitchen?

how does sewage work around laundry/kitchen?

lalaland..thanks for popping into Our House....
it doesn't. it's only there to unite the Dunees.
Perhaps i'll take those pipes out around the kitchen laundry. Consider it done.

[DiM]

time to get back to this map and give some more feedback.

1. i have no idea what "dunees" means. is that a real word?
2. the graphics are coming along nicely so not much comment there except for the sewers that aren't very clearly presented.
3. some connections are somewhat unclear.
a. master bedroom <> den hallway. it looks like there's an open door there but it also looks like there's a wall instead of the dotted ine you have in other places. or maybe i'm just tired and not seeing well.
b. front path 2 connects to DiM? and path 1 to enya and lackattack? i'm 100% they do but i feel it should be a bit more clear.
4. dog house +2?? for 1 terit? it already has a great strategical value by attacking all the paths and the neighbours. so i think the previous -1 was better. but i admit i didn't have time to read everything so there might be a good point to making it +2. i fail to see it though.
5. just noticed some graphic things so i have to say. the bed sheets look too texture heavy compared to the rest of the furniture. and the round thingies in the den are something strange. what are they supposed to be?
and some terit labels could use better centering not to hit the walls. like siss' access and bud's access. also if i know my english it's not siss's but rather siss'. without the final s.


edit// instead of drawing the sewage system why not say in the legend that any toilet can attack any other toilet. that should be clear enough and removing the sewage makes the map less cluttered.

Make army circles opaque!

Now I know what you mean by common areas. Awesome.

[cairnswk]

A dunee, is the Aussie slang for toilet

good to know but i think other people will have trouble understanding the aussie slag

Thanks DiM.

1. i have no idea what "dunees" means. is that a real word?

Dunee is Aussie slang for toilet. I put it in because i wanted this map to not take itself so seriously but have that fun family perspective.

2. the graphics are coming along nicely so not much comment there except for the sewers that aren't very clearly presented.

Yes that's a good idea.

3. some connections are somewhat unclear.
a. master bedroom <> den hallway. it looks like there's an open door there but it also looks like there's a wall instead of the dotted ine you have in other places. or maybe i'm just tired and not seeing well.

I'll fix.

4. dog house +2?? for 1 terit? it already has a great strategical value by attacking all the paths and the neighbours. so i think the previous -1 was better. but i admit i didn't have time to read everything so there might be a good point to making it +2. i fail to see it though.

well some people didn't think -1 was justified and would stop people wanting to go there....so i made it an incentive by itself.

5. just noticed some graphic things so i have to say. the bed sheets look too texture heavy compared to the rest of the furniture. and the round thingies in the den are something strange. what are they supposed to be?
and some terit labels could use better centering not to hit the walls. like siss' access and bud's access.

Yes, can fix those.

also if i know my english it's not siss's but rather siss'. without the final s.

Bugger DiM...that's the second time you've picked me up on that.

OK next version will reveal all above....soon.

Mmmmm, let's get that one right DiM.....there's a BIG difference between slang and slag.

EDIT/// maybe that could be the one "trick" in the map.

no worries...yes i am also, although it's coming on midday here, but i've been up since 4am doing mod stuff and a little map stuff...so when everyone goes to bed soon in the northern hemisphere, i'll choof off down the supermarket and then have a granny nap this arvo.

[Night Strike]

What are the borders for Dad's areas??? I can clearly see 2 borders, but could you clearly outline them.

garage and bbq.

[asl80]

gotta get the hills hoist in there somewhere cairns!

(maybee the top left name could go to bottom right, butterfly could move to the next section to the left and you could have the hill's hoist top left?)

[Night Strike]

Just noticed: It should be "Siss's Suite", not "Siss's Sweet".

Path Bonus should be +5 and Dog House should be +1.

mmmm. luv to asl80...but i think this might be a fold away clothes line house...i think the HH would clutter up things too much.

Fixing the Suite Night Strike...thanks for that pickup...big blunderbus me

I really want the dog to have +2 so he can hit the neighbours etc...but i will increase the paths to +4....dog has lot of territory to cover.

Version 7 Update.

These maps have now been split into two version, so any updates from here on in have to be completed on two maps.


Small V7



Large V7

[cena-rules]

looking good man

I love the map and bonuses

[Incandenza]

Forgive me if this has already been hashed out, but the dog house will start as neutral, yes? Otherwise it seems cheeky to let someone start with an extra +2 and the equivalent of a KotM helipad.

I dig the map thus far, tho. Not a fan of the song (in fact I hate that song with every fiber of my being), but the map is top-notch.

EDIT: actually, upon further reflection, the doghouse seems ridiculously high-powered. A +2 for only one country, with 'teleporting' attacks to boot? Yikes.

[jako]

looking good cairns.

army circle on side path needs centering to the right.

isnt it suppose to be "bud's room" not "bud's romp"? or is taht more aussie slang?

dog house bonus is too high (many have pointed that out and i agree), u should make it neutral or reduce it to +1 and turn it into bombard rather than attack. dogs love to bite and run u kno

i can understand the apostrophe being after teh "s" on Siss, but the apostrophe should be before the "s" in bud, mum, dad, and mum & dad.

one final thing, the patio and rear path doesnt connect right? if so, can u make it more clear? if not, then u also need to make it more clear. cause right now, its hard to tell if they connect or not.

keep up the good work cairns.

[Night Strike]

Rename "Front Path 2" as "Driveway". I also suggest renaming one of the rear ones. Basically, this is to eliminate the need for numbered territories.

[cairnswk]

Jako, yes it is supposed to Bud's room, if you want to be conservative.
Aussie slang, no i don'tt think so. More likely it is an Americanism that i picked up from the TV.

From the onlinedictionary:
1. To play rudely and boisterously; to leap and frisk about
in play.
[1913 Webster]

Given that boys are apt to be like the above definition, i thought it was an excellent noun to use to describe that room, rather than boring old bedroom or room.
