the airport is just known as the International Airport so you might be able to drop the KS. it has been a long time since we referred to as Kingsford Smith Airport.

yes i agree DiM, but other didn't so i remove all the confusion...now it's just a simple classic style map for the masses, whether they like it or not.

i never saw the previous version, but i like this one.
especially the tiny traffic lights (though one is cut off in Brookvale).
people with poor vision may have trouble with those ferry routes though...
maybe dashes instead of dots?
just a thought.

i thought the traffic lights would be a good addition,as they haven't happened graphically on any maps yet.

will do something better for that there...thanks benny profane :)

Oh sorry...i was thinking that i might re-work the shire "continent" areas, that's all.

Of course there is another larger map that can be done of the Blue Mtns etc to inclulde the Hawkesbury and Warragamba Dam, i think it would make great gameplay, but that is for another day.

This is Sydney metro. :)

Postby onbekende on Fri Apr 11, 2008 4:46 am

good thing I kept the bonus excel sheet from Sydney 2000 :D

Bonusses:
Parramatta: 5 terr, 2 def/att, 3 cont => Bonus of 3 (2 is indeed better, keep it at 2)
Ryde: 5 terr, 3 def/att, 3 cont => Bonus of 4 (3 is indeed good enough)
Warringah: 5 terr, 2 def/att, 2 cont => Bonus of 3 (2 is more then fine)

now I want to make a note, if you hold the above 3 with 2 territories to defend (Auburn and Opera House) you get alot of army's!! (6 from 18 terr + 7 from bonusses => 12 army's!!!!)
Perhaps an extra attack route is needed from the south to the north? I have no sggestion thou.

Auburn: 5 terr, 4 def/att, 3 cont => Bonus of 4 (3 is well, as 4 would make the above continent set too powerfull)
Inner West: 4 terr, 2 def/att, 2 cont => Bonus of 3 (Perhaps a bonus of 2 is better now, only 2 to defence and easely enough taken continent if you got already 2 terr)
Sydney City: 3 terr, 3 def/att, 7 cont => Bonus of 4 (Make it 3, unless something is done about the upper continent strip)
Waverly: 3 terr, 2 def/att, 2 cont => Bonus of 2 (agreed!)
Bankstown: 4 terr, 4 def/att, 3 cont => Bonus of 4 (I tend to agree with 4)
Cantebury: 6 terr, 5 def/att, 6 cont => Bonus of 6 (5 is good)
Marrickville: 3 terr, 3 def/att, 4 cont => Bonus of 3 (agreed)
Randwick: 5 terr, 3 def/att, 4 cont => Bonus of 4 (3 is good enough)
Rockdale: 4 terr, 3 def/att, 4 cont => Bonus of 4 (3 is more then enough)
Hurstville: 4 terr, 4 def/att, 3 cont => Bonus of 4 (Make it 3, continent will be taken together with Bankstown to turtle)

My bonus analysis


Continents:
Parramatta:
- Move the army shade of Dundas Vallay a bit to the north

Ryde:
- You can complete the name of "Nth Sydney" to North Sydney I believe

Warringah:
- Think about merging Taronga Zoo and Balmoral, isn't needed but will help viewability and gameplay I believe

Auburn:
- Move "Auburn" to the right :D

Inner West:
- I believe switching the name and amry shade ot Drummoyne will add to the viewability of the map
- Concord seems to be messed up on he first letter

Sydney City:
- Think agout removing the traffic lights from the City <=> Opera House crossing, same goes for the other inner-City crossing

Waverly:
- Drop both army shade and name of Vaucluse to the south a bit

Bankstown:
No comments

Cantebury:
No comments

Marrickville:
- space out the army shande and name of Tempe a bit

Randwick:
No comments

Rockdale:
- whats the full name of "KS It'l Airport" and perhaps drop the International?

Hurstville:
No comments




General comments:
Smoothen out the line around the Bonusses place and the map, specifically at the Auburn <=> Parramatta crossing and at the "Ryde" bonus legend
What is that white at the back of the bonus legend?
Make the Pedestrian Crossing with normal gaps (thus showing the color of the below texture) instead of the color of Randwick continent
Spce te ferry line between Opera House <=> Manly a bit to the north when it passes Vaucluse, people might thing its attackable

I like it so far the colors blend very well. Not so blinding as some maps. I like how you put a lot of defensive points in.

Thanks Sir Ricco...yeh, i,think the colours are good also. Vibrant reflecting a large metro city, but not too in your face. Glad you like so far.

Ok, here some things I just like to bring up

1. Do you really need those Stop lights? They kind of crowd the map

2. I like how you made a lot of defensives points in the map. :P

3. The ferry routes are just a little confusing. I get them, but I can see them becoming a problem to the...*Amen* noobs.

4. Inner West I think should be knocked down to 2 bonuses. With only two ways to get into it, it would be pretty easies to defend.
