Postby Oneyed on Tue Sep 23, 2014 4:07 pm

Mapmaker(s):Oneyed
Number of Territories:
Special Features:using conditions for autodeploys or decays. possibility to choose administration of yout Lordship, depends on situation.
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made:

Map Image:

to do map of this theme was my dream since I made maps. apart of new features from xml used here, the most interesting thing are Courts where if you hold Lord can choose administration of your Lordship. each Officer has his bonuses but also penalties. you do not need to hold any, but sometimes situtation force you for this.

all comments are welcome.

At first glance, nice idea.

Graphics will need brighter colour. I think some nice metallic shines on the map to suggest gold, silver, and beautiful steel armour, would be wonderful. Not these pale washed-out pastels.

Lord might be too powerful, but we can work that out later.

Some wording is clumsy, but I can help with translations; that's the easy part. The really big problem is the pastels. Really need to get something shiny and metallic in here.

You are one of the most creative mapmakers ever, but don't let this map distract you from the Great War...:)

no. if you will have 2 seigneuries in the same Lordship you receive +2. with Lord +4.

I was thinking maybe each County could look like it was cut out of a sheet of metal.

Edessa with its red could look like it was cut from a sheet of copper.

Antioch with its yellow could like like it was cut from a sheet of gold.

Tripoli with its orange-brown could look like it was cut from a sheet of bronze.

Maybe rusted iron for Cyprus, and brass for Jerusalem, and silver for Jaffa, and so on.

will be not map too "steel"? and what with lordship of Outlejordain and Galilee? what kind of metal add them?
I just need good background and colours to make map in old style, I think.

I tried to do shapes ofcours metallic what works. maybe this could be a way?

what is main problem for me now is wording and gameplay. if everything is clear and what can be better.
