looks quite good at first glance , a couple of points i might make,

not sure about the red continent being split up like that . edit- maybe a sea route from right side of board to left , as in kamchatka/alaska in classic to join them

maybe a few too many sea routes around the islands, cut them down maybe and reduce the bonus you had planned

the names of countries could be a little clearer

just my opinion tho

yeah i had not thought of the sea route round the board i think i will add that

panicker wrote:maybe a few too many sea routes around the islands, cut them down maybe and reduce the bonus you had planned

any thoughts on which sea routes to remove? (and i have no planned bonuses)

i was not sure about the type font i will see what other people think before i change it

at the moment every continent can attack red and no countries on it are protected by others, i dont think ive seen that on a map . maybe making the two smaller islands just conected to the outer 2 adjacent to them might be a start otherwise holding it would be quite a job.

And possibly cutting one route off barentsoya(ithink thats what it says ) just so its not so threatened

by **Telvannia** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 7:19 am

ok i will carry those ideas
i think i might change the names on the red to white so it is easier to read aswell

by **Telvannia** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 7:36 am

ok i have updated the map with the title added in and removed some of the sea attack lines ect.

mayby you can add a line from axeon to sorhamna?

Why Svalbard? I dont know anything that has happened there, should have done a place like Falkland Islands, people have killed for that.

well maybe it is time to put svalbard on the map
anyway if this map get realised people will kill for control of it

Wisse wrote:mayby you can add a line from axeon to sorhamna?

yeah i agree with that i will include it in the next version

by **Telvannia** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:18 am

next version up
included the attack from axeon to sorhmna (and visa versa)
and put in the viking longboat

by **Wisse** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:47 am

nice this is going to be a good map

by **happysadfun** on Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:30 pm

The font... I don't know about you, but I think it doesn't complement the rest of the map.

I agree. Dont you have a more significant area to do a map, mate? Many areas we could have more interest, like whole Asia, Russia, Pacific, etc... It looks very strange until now, all those lines connecting N and S, W and E... some areas have many borders, well... its far for being completed, so maybe you could think about another idea.

I dont know i think its a good idia to have a map that no-one has really heard about and doesnt involve Europe/USA/China like a lot of the rest

by **Telvannia** on Sun Dec 10, 2006 5:53 am

maybe i should move to do a different map
i will wait to see what happens about this one first
does anyone have any improvments i could make that are not a different map?

Falkland Islands would be better if you want to do islands.

Name the green territory without a name.

by **mightyal** on Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:12 am

There appears to be an un-named country in the green continent to the right of Hansoya and one in the dark blue cont above Footoya.

by **Telvannia** on Sun Dec 10, 2006 7:19 am

so there is i will deal with it now and post the updated image

done

by **Wisse** on Sun Dec 10, 2006 8:19 am

1 thing to improve it.

make the font better

by **Telvannia** on Sun Dec 10, 2006 8:48 am

yeah that is what im considering doing now it just the ammount of time it will take so im waiting till i have long enough to do it in one go
i think i will make a map with a range of fonts on and see which people think is best
