maps with lot of countries are mostly quit large
i used the restrictions on format specified in "how to mak a map" by Andy Dufresne

[boberz]

i love it people are actually starting to tak ethis map seriously

[happy2seeyou]

I imagine that is what taking too much acid feels like...

I was thinking the same thing.

This is a very confusing map. It hurts my eyes.

[Balsiefen]

you need to make sure that the attacking routs are much more clear and go easy on the word art, at the moment i have no idea what attacks what (the arrows utterly confuse me) and i'm not even sure what things are terretories what with each territory having a different word art plastered across it
the continent names are also wierd

[antjo]

i will make a version with armies on it
should make things cleare
should i use bigger arrows ?

[boberz]

i refuse to see a map with word art making up 30% of it gett a place on this site

That probably isn't the best way to spend your time. It sounds unanimous that for this map to be accepted it needs much more profound changes than a few of the words or bigger arrows. If you want to make a map about innovative gameplay (like a lot of one-way attacks), come up with graphics that make that new type of gameplay very clear; your map makes it confusing.

Why would a map have a lot of one way connections? Circus Max answers that with a chariot race theme... the chariots always go counterclockwise around the stadium. The spaces are shaped to indicate the direction. It is all very clear.

Your answer is? A "shoot out"? A bunch of little rooms? What do these things have to do with one way attacks? There is no rational for it. I can imagine (barely) someone doing a surrealist map that is intentionally nonsensical... but this isn't it.

You've tried to do too many things here. Don't expect a sudden rush of support for the map because you change "corridor" to "tunnel". We've seen worse first maps here and I enjoyed your creativity...

plasagna... I may never get over that completely!

[pepperonibread]

just wondering, what is this map suposed to represent?

[antjo]

what has shootout to do with one-way-attacks
well theres a very strong relationship between them both:
they are direct oppossites
aint that a strong relation
too much different htings ?
some maps have: bridges, rivers, mountains, capitals,...
so ?

[AndyDufresne]

I'm still not sold on this idea...at all.

This map is really hard to look at..

[boberz]

this is rubbish and needs to be improved significantly before any real suggestions can be mad eit is that bad

[Nikolai]

Okay, I can actually understand most of the map after a lot of thought, but... this sucks. I don't think it's playable, and I know I wouldn't play it.

[bedplay]

NO








...still no

[Nerrimus]

Look, this is the most important thing at the moment, so I'll make it big :

USE A PROPER IMAGE EDITING PROGRAM. NOT WORDART.

*breathes*

Seriously, this has no chance of making it anywhere near Final Forge at the time. Take some time off. Learn to use Photoshop or GIMP. Then come back and remake the map.

That is all.

I like it.

[Man Pony]

I actuall really like this map! (sorry everyone)

When I first looked at it I thought 'ah yes, it's designed around the inside of a mental asylum from the point of view of a mental person'. I'm not sure this is actually the case having read some of your responses, but I'd like it to be. I may well make my own version along those lines though.

I simply love the way it makes you question the rules and normality, not so much the gameplay right now and certainly not the graphics. In answer to your question, I would make the arrows bigger. In answer to everyone complaining about the word art, I think that helps with the whole 'mental' business.

Hang on, you're not a mental are you?

[Qwert]

use vote pool for continue on these map,

[AndyDufresne]

I don't even think this...or any of his ideas, sorry to say, need a vote poll.

i know i have to improve the graphiccs, and i will do it
so stop commenting about that
powerpoint is just a good program, just to express my ideas, like some use a map they found somewhere to express their ideas
an i know, for the final map i need another program
but powerpoint is ok just to expres my ideas
