Still need:
- Try other fonts to territories names.
- Put space background.
- Try another sea routes (?)
- Try another title (?)

Feedback, please.

to make it less likely to have a player start with the meteor crash site, make the site cover 2 or more territories. kind of like the +1 place in discworld.

you could also make the crash border 2 continents, like the line between antarctica and africa or something like that, that would give incentive to take it/more consequences for taking it depending on weather u make the crash site a bonus or a detriment. and by making the player hold 2 territories to get the bonus/detriment they would be less likely to start with it outright.

What is this? Diskworld MkII? It's almost exactly the same design with the round world. Earth isn't a disc and never has been a disc :).

I dont like that India idea either, seems pretty pointless to me.

Other than that it looks ok now, needs a lot of work though.

i like that india idea, because it will stop people taking those bottom three continents, get tons of armies and only really have to defend 2 or 3 countries with them.

personally i think there has to be a few more sea connections, as i think what will happen is there will be one person at the top and one and the bottom and all the other players will get crushed in the middle because they will be getting tons of bonuses for so little country defending. maybe s.america tip with anartica, for example? just a suggestion

wow looks just like the colors i picked out for the same map im making, oh and the same continent skeletals, ur so clever..... i bet your also going to have a lack of cleverness and use the names i picked out too huh? :evil:


oh and since dinosaurs were supposedly alive during this, i dont think a skeleton of a dino is necessary

marvaddin is a wannabe foundry foreman ;), im sure if he does have similar colours, etc then he didnt do it intentionally :P

yes he did, this is my map... lol... we were working on it together until he tried to take the whole thing over.. so hes using what i made, to make his own, when im still making mine.... so yes, i chose those colors, 100% mine... if hes as good as he says he could come up with his own, on his own.... not to mention his looks worse than mine, the space is ugly, the letters are terrible, and the textures to the continents and ocean almost identical... and look plain... and let me guess, hes going to use my names because he knows his sucked!

In fact, you are the one showing lack of cleverness, for restart a map that were almost finished. Yeah, we were working together, and I was taking care of graphics part. Then after I spent much time and effort, Kayla was wanting restart the graphics, using very very limited graphs skills she had just learned. :shock: :shock: :shock: Almost unbelievable.

What Im using you had made? I designed almost all borders, added textures, colours, ocean, legend etc. Are you talking about the colour scheme? Really, this is the one you suggested. So, I will happily change it, to please you, ok? In fact, I really dont like it too much :)

About the borders, yeah, I will use them. I designed like 90% of them, by the way. In fact, you should continue the development of the single image we all can credit to you:

Dont worry, like I said, I will put the your name on the map, because you helped me. My goal was never stole other people merit, even when they almost dont have any. This of course would be different if you were something reasonable instead of completely stubborn. Now, stop posting here and show all the foundry your awesome and much better job in your own thread.

This is an interesting idea... It could be like a greater radiation nexus, 2 countries giving -1 each, but giving 4 if you get both (2, in fact, discounted the 2 negatives). Where could I add it? Im thinking about that Africa - USA connection. Opinions?

This is really the point about India curse. Make the south weaker.
Yeah, we can think about more route connections, I think I will add an island to that region near the crocodile like creature. So, the job would be more simple. And I can connect SA and Antarctica without a sea route. I probably will next update.

I dont think it will be a problem. Like you know, we can create the territories names, so we can make them short when needed :D

im a geologist, and i think a pangea map is cool.

dinosaurs were alive, but that still means there are skeletons around!

and a brontosaraus wouldnt be in the ocean, but other than that...

^^ This?? Hehe, that one was the last version I posted in her thread, when I was working with her and doing the graphics. I started my own thread because she had no graph skills, but were wanting me to drop my effort while she was just restarting the graphics. In fact, she is the one wanting to waste others effort. And I stole nothing from her. Like I said, I designed borders, I thought about playability issues, added textures, legend, etc...

In fact, she became angry because I was doing all the job (yes, these were her words in MSN) and I was posting without show her :)

hmmmm that makes sense, i have no graph skills but my current map is better than yours? do you not know english? and that link is what made me want to start over, it sucked..... the sky sucked, the water sucked, the continent textures sucked. its funny u say im worse but my map looks better hmm?

oh and i never use the word angry, so um, ur a liar

^^ Are you guys realizing how stupid and unpolite is this girl?

1st thing, darling... can you explain how was the guy saying you have better STARS? Oh, really, your graphics were awesome, lets remember:

Image
Hmm, maybe Im missing the stars in your version...

2nd, that one is your current image until where I know. If you have any better than mine, my hat off for you. Of course yours will be put alive, and I would love that, so you dont need to worry about. But until we all can see your version, you dont have how to prove your version is better. And dont misunderstand me if I dont believe you: you werent able to use paint some weeks ago.

3rd, so you are angry ONLY and JUST ONLY when you use the word angry? The tons of "f*ck you" you sent to me and you werent angry? Sorry, but I can interpret situations very well without your help, and I can realize if a person is angry, even when the person doesnt use the word "angry".

4th, Im not posting in your thread. I politely asked you for use YOUR OWN thread (isnt it yours???) Why are you still posting here? And to make pointless comments? Dont be so afraid of competition. Like I said, I myself will be up for your map alive if its better. So, show us what you have learned instead of trying disturb my project. And stop posting here or I will ask mods to delete your posts.

Im working on it. I was working with Kayla, but as you see, she dislikes my job, so she is doing her own version. I think shes trying to convince me to drop my job, but I dont intend to, I want complete it. If she is still working on her version, of course only one will be put alive, and Im up for the better one, to me doesnt matter who did it.

Gilligan wrote:Does the dinosaur on the territory mean anything?

No, its just to add appeal. If people think its creating confusion, I can increase the transparence effect, or even remove it.

That last map of Pangea that you said Kayla did, that's not even close to her current version. No offense to a fellow clan member, but yours doesn't even compare to the current one Kayla has out. Your stars look fake. Actually reminds me of a flag you might see at a gay pride parade. Your texture for the ocean is the same as the one for the land, and that texture doesn't really resemble water or land. You have a mountain range that separates nothing in India. Kaylas stars look real, and her graphics and color scheme is much better. Also Kayla's dinosaurs look alot better also, and her lettering is better. Something tells me you haven't even seen her current version of the map. Let's just say it blows yours away.

Yeah, she didnt post it yet... or Im missing it.
If so, its great, her map can be put alive, without a doubt (beyond who did the map to her, hehe... you can believe me, her skills are absolutely zero :wink: )
