Great Romania

Postby cdman on Wed Feb 07, 2007 8:55 am

Great Romania

This is a map a designed based on the XIX century Romania map. This is not the actual Romania map of today.

I splitted the map in 8 continents:
- Dobrogea: 4 country's and 2 borders
- Muntenia: 10 country's and 5 borders
- Oltenia: 5 country's and 3 borders
- Banat: 4 country's and 2 borders
- Crisana: 5 country's and 3 borders
- Transilvania: 9 country's and 3 borders
- Moldova: 9 country's and 4 borders
- Basarabia: 9 country's and 3 borders

A special bonus is for Bucuresti for being the capital.

This is the large version of the map, the small version i have to remake it.

Waiting your opinions.

I like the idea. We definitely need a Romania map. However some of the coloured text is not legible on the background colours for a start.

Not much interest for me I'm afraid. Graphically it needs a lot of work too.

Relax man. I gave you a suggestion already, don't ignore it. Start working on the coloured text. It's not legible over some of your backgrounds...

-Definatly dim the coulers down
-Change the font/border colour, it just doesn't look good
-change the background
-you have a large amount of territories in most of your continents(thay're all asia sized) merge some of your territories
-also, if its based on an old map try giving it that sort of textures, post the origional map so we can see what your working from

potencial for this one, keep working at it

1. make a proper colorscheme, not to bright not to dark not to much contrast
2. smoothen the borders
3. search a nice font for the names
4, the flag is disturbing find an alternative from it
5. add some textures so it looks like land=land and water=water

try that first

About graphics, you will need change almost all... Like the mountains, they look like a wooden fence, lol

I prefer, however, talk about playability. I dislike the capitol bonus... lol, will every new country map have it? Plus 60+ countries,... I would remove some. I see you have most continents well constructed, but some less countries would help also to correct a problem: toooo many countries to take to go from a side of the map to the another one. You could create some bigger countries to work like corridors, or create a type of teleport. Plus, isnt the west side too strong?

The map doesn't appeal to me. Everything about it at the moment is giving me a headache and it's not a map I would play. I know you'll improve the map and I'd like to contribute. I'm just expressing my lack of interest in a map of Romania, but that's just me and I'm sure there's plenty of others interested.

agree. I think a map of the austro-hungarian empire, the ottomon empire and such should be created before this kind of map is.

if you want an map of the ottoman empire pls build one yourself. im not turkish and i dont have any ideas about a map about this empire, but i know romania and im making a map of this.

besides that there are alredy maps of ireland, hong kong, canada, brazil, usa and i the foundry there are a lot more maps of country's.

why not a map of romania then?

Its not a country a whole bunch of players live in and it doesn't really offer any attractive new feature. Its very similar in size, territory makeup, continents etc. to most of the map on here like Germany and ones in development like France and Iberia.
