We did have that earlier. But it was ruled out because people would have trouble reading it.

My responses are in red. I edited out the ones already taken care of.

rebelman wrote:Here are my observations / suggestions on the latest one:

inverse the writing on the cards deck so its facing the opposite direction (still a valid suggestion)
That would make it a bit too upside down. There is absolutely no upside down text on the map, the most it is tilted is sideways.

throw some money, in the middle of the board not as a terr just for effect and maybe some dice too (still a valid suggestion)
Will be done

Instead of card 1, 2 and 3 it would be great if these could be green card, red card and blue card this is easily achieved by swapping as follows:

Card 1 and die 1 (card 1 becomes blue card)

card 2 and die 2 (card 2 becomes red card)

card 3 and Ads (card 3 becomes green card)

still a valid suggestion but the numbers are now colours

Cards are fine where they are afterall, it is imitating monopoly.

I think the battleships should not be part of terrs (as per the game also this will help gameplat wise as well as we try and resolve the bonuses
(still a valid suggestion)
Part of gameplay, will decide what to do later

Pleas lose the hyphenated words if possible
(lot done, more to do)
If i get suggestions for words that don't need a hyphen, and fits in with the other territories in the continent, i will

die 3 should not be part of any terr. between this and the battleship change the pink bonus would be more reasonable ie higher because of its location on the board but not impossible to hold
(still a valid suggestion)
Part of gameplay, will decide what to do later

remove the names from the dice terrs instead have a 1, 2 and 3 showing on the dice themselves if that makes sense seeing die written down is a bit on the weird side
still a valid suggestion
I think that would be a bit confusing, and naming the dice after their colour, i think is good enough

The corner cc logo should be facing over towards free army

still a valid suggestion
Dont understand this suggestion

That graphic on ads has to change

still a valid suggestion but as suggest by night strike it needs to become something totally different as we don't do ads here
That graphic is ther because i have no clue what else to put. Also, we dont advertise on the cc site, but we do advertise our site on google, wikipedia, etc. However, I would like to find a new territory name for that which would be much easier to associate with a graphic.

if you are struggling with the hyphens i am certain we could collectively come up with several cc related 8 word or less words or phrases, if this is the case let us know

still a valid suggestion
Yes, i need suggestions on words

It is by no means perfect, but I think some lessons can be learned here.

Its true his version makes better use of sapce, but his used the extra 40 pixels, mine does not (and i'm trying to keep it that way). With the trains, im afraid of copyright. I might try lightening up the board a bit to see what I end up with.

Also - why is Tourney Directors hyphenated on big map but not on small...

Also - That ads graphic looks gash.

Didnt notice the identical structures, i'll have to change that after im done with the graphics...it looks like i wont be able to keep the incrementing bonuses around the board.
Tourney directors isnt hyphenated on the small map simply because it fits on the small map.
Im aware of the ads graphic.

Thats how it is now, but it looks like i will have to change that when i get around to gameplay.

Oh. Their not identical. Free army right now is a +1 auto deploy, shop purchase is -1 decay, and deadbeat is just -1, not on the territory

What about Banland instead of Multis? :)

Oh, I just noticed something, I have Silver in the XML and you have Grey in the map. What one do we use?

I know I did this already in pm, but just to make sure people know, Twill is doing some playing with the forums and my group is the smallest so it was a good candidate for what he wanted to do and he didn't want to make a new fake group to play with.

I don't mind as long as it comes back. If it doesn't in a few days, then I'll get worried.

I'm about 80/20 with you. We're trying to make it look like it's on a table, and it's good in that respect. If people don't know it's a table, they could say it's horrible. I know I would. If you know what is I think it's fine.
