I don't know what that means?

[natty dread]

Replace the è with è in the xml file. It's html code for è and it works in xml too.

now I get

line 29: <territory>Sept-Rivi&egrave;res</territory> - Entity 'egrave' not defined

line 32: <territory>Gasp�sie</territory> - Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding ! Bytes: 0xE9 0x73 0x69 0x65

[natty dread]

Hoh. Weird...

Ok, I looked into it... you should change them back to è:s but you'll also have to make sure you save the xml in UTF-8 format.

If you have trouble with it, give me the xml link and I can run it through visual express to make sure the character encoding is correct.

Nice Map Is this going to be apart of a huge CANADA map in the future

[Funkyterrance]

For what it's worth, I am partially colorblind and I have no problem with the colors chosen. You would think that different shades of green would automatically be hard to tell for a colorblind person but this isn't the case here. The only small thing that I could even see that could perhaps be changed were the lines of attack between the landmasses. Being just solid lines they appear a little like borders. Even dotted lines would suffice. However this is a minor detail that is obviously left to the maker.
I think the best way I can describe this map is "soothing". I would probably play this map for this reason alone lol. The map's elements all tie together really well (someone has an artist's eye) and the cherub is very pretty as the icing on the cake. Very nice.

[Tisha]

can't figure out the xml...

line like 29 is giving me problems:
<territory>Sept-Riviè:sres</territory>

but the other lines that have the came characters are not..

I suggest you edit the first line to look like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I believe all CC XML files are supposed to start that way.

I did a few tests, and the XML tool (http://www.conquerclub.com/mapmaker/index.php) only seems to report the first offending character. That is, I took out the è from Sept-Rivières, and then the tool complained about Gaspésie.

It's getting late, so I haven't resolved all the issues, but if I get a chance, I will try to fix your XML.

[Tisha]

alright..

Just to confirm what natty said, yes it is being worked on as we type.

[MrBenn]

If you're using extended characters, then you can look up the codes in the table on this page: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

Instead of "é" you type "&#233;" for example.

I'm not sure if the colon throws things out? To be sure you could replace it with "&#58;" (without the quote marks though)

thanks, that's what needed done for all the accents.

Glad you got the accents sorted out, but since you are down to the fine details, there is a d in Windsor (as in Grand Falls-Windsor) and there is no reason to have spaces after the hyphens in Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

Fixed those things..

Anticosti better moved over to the side?

I don't see a problem with any of those coordinates. Maybe you could move Mauricie slightly to the left so that it doesn't run over Quebec, but only if you're really keen to make slight, perfectionist adjusments and are willing to go through the effort of re-uploading it all.

One other thing though - don't you think the Duplessis bonus should be worth at least 4? I'm just asking that question because it seems that a hella' lot of regions can attack into that area...

Tisha didn't develop the gameplay for this, so it's not her fault, but I agree with this - Duplessis has a very central location on the map, lots of borders, and lots of assault routes in to it, so I'd say it should be worth at least 4, maybe 5.

I think 4 sounds good. It's a small change but it seems like a solid one.

I like the 88's lined up more than the 888's


If some gameplay person can come in and say it should be changed to four, I can do that. I don't feel like I have permission to mess with that. More input than us few would be nice also.

I know my name needs to be on it, but what about previous owners?

Feel free to up the bonus to 4.
As for names; I'd only worry about your own name, unless you have space for a who's-who of the foundry

Thanks for making this map Tish. I hope this promotes CC'ers to come see East Coast Canada and what it has to offer.

Here are a couple of pics of places within a half hour drive of where I live:
