Singapore v15

The borders of the continents look a bit unfinished. But I'm sure you're going to improve the graphics, so...

That black line next to palau ubin is unnecessary. There's no nearby territories, so just having the name next to the island would be sufficient IMO.

Same with punggol.

Haha, pulau ubin belongs to a continent that it's not connected to. is this meant to be?

by **jleonnn** on Sat Oct 24, 2009 1:00 am

Make it more challenging

Anyways, I can change it if you don't like...

by **jleonnn** on Sat Oct 24, 2009 1:57 am

I made the borders clearer. Any more suggestions?

by **jleonnn** on Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:52 am

I pretty much had nothing better to do, so I just added the army circles

by **haoala** on Sat Oct 24, 2009 5:25 am

Very nice progress, I like the new colours and borders.

It should be spelt as Pulau eg Pulau Ubin.
Paya Lebar is spelt without a Y.

Bukit can be shortened as Bt.

Is Hougang connected to Geylang? As I said, it still is a four-way connection (now three-way cos there's a border) but you should make two opposite territories connect each other fully, cutting off the other two.

Since Light blue has only 1 border now, the bonus can be reduced to 1.
Pink and Orange should have 2.
The ochre-coloured continent should have 1 (1 border)

Draw borders around the rivers, I think they should have the same thickness as inter-territorial borders.

Can you make the army circles more translucent?

Once again, good job!

by **jleonnn** on Sat Oct 24, 2009 5:59 am

I copied the circle from a file, I don't how I can lol!
Changing the opacity is my best option. Thnx for the tips!

oh and west coast bonus shd be 5, give bt timah less borders, try to connect yishun with AMK (otherwise it's a bottleneck at central water catchment. Pasir ris is also a bottleneck, make pulau ubin part of punggol GRC.

At the moment Bt Timah has too many borders, but I don't see how it can be fixed easily. Perhaps extend the river to separate CCK and Tengah.

made the changes

by **jleonnn** on Sun Oct 25, 2009 5:06 am

it was much clearer on xcf format...

by **haoala** on Sun Oct 25, 2009 8:12 am

You missed army circles in tengah and orchard.

by **jleonnn** on Sun Oct 25, 2009 9:59 am

k, thnx

Move the layer with the flag beneath the land layer...

The outlines of the land need to be made more smooth.
Sea routes seem like a temporary fix.
You should probably reduce the vertical spacing on your territory names or keep them to one line.

You don't even have "Singapore" on the map, yet you found space to put "Malaysia" twice...

by **jleonnn** on Mon Oct 26, 2009 12:48 am

I'll just erase the land texture on the border to make it look softer then

by **jleonnn** on Mon Oct 26, 2009 1:27 am

what do you mean by sea routes?

by **jleonnn** on Mon Oct 26, 2009 3:09 am

the images are clearer on photobucket itself so click on the links to them

by **jleonnn** on Mon Oct 26, 2009 9:49 am

I've done the XML and the changes to the map. Of course, I will up date the XML too

by **captainwalrus** on Mon Oct 26, 2009 2:15 pm

There is no need to double or triple post.
Also, there is no need to do the xml until much later, since this will be much different by the time it is done and ready for the xml.
If you save it as a .png instead of ,jpg it comes up clearer.

by **jleonnn** on Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:24 am

I saved it as bmp, thnx

consider merging bishan with one of its neighbouring bonus zones or splitting it into 3 regions, otherwise u'll have to put a starting neutral on kallang to prevent someone from starting with the bonus.
