EvilOtto wasn't kidding about you learning how to use the cropping tool.

OK, again a potentially fun idea. And again, if you're going to develop further, you need to show the foundry that you have the tools to pull it off. My first question would be what graphics program are you using to put this together?

Now, since you've skipped most of step 2 of "how to make a map," you should read over step 3:

Step 3). Developmental Map Thread——Start a personal thread where your map can be discussed and debated in length by the members of Conquer Club. To start a new map thread, please follow these formal guidelines:

+ Subject:

<Working Title> (describes map at a glance)
+ Body:

<map image>
<# of countries>
<Comments about specific areas or general points of interest>
<Links to any visual resources used>

Ok it's great that you can find your line tool and your paint bucket, but in your next update could you please explain where the appeal lies.

here is an example: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/7d82/zoom/

the multimedia keys are those at the top of the keyboard. they do various tasks from opening your browser, play/stop the winamp open the calculator, adjust volume, etc.

Find a good idea. That's usually the best place to start. :wink:

I like the idea, and this is your best map to date, but I don't know if you have the ability to make it into something that could pass the foundry.

You will not be able to get the effects needed for a good map using paint.

I said it before but here it goes again- I appreciate your enthusiasm but you are just not cut out for map making. You have submitted countless ideas and none of them have a chance at being created with the editing that you have done.
