Oh, I got it. I was confused for a bit, since 'Blackhawk' is the name of the region above Vandruff, but also the name of the Bonus Zone of which Vandruff is a part. Sort of awkward!

Oh sorry. I guess I should've been more specific.

So the Blackhawk region (territory) is not part of the Blackhawk zone (continent), but rather part of the Rock Island zone (continent)? Is that an oversight, or just a weird reality of the local names?

Weird reality I guess. The Blackhawk territory in Rock Island is where Blackhawk State Park is located in real life. While Blackhawk continent is named for Blackhawk Township which encompasses most of that area.

A lot of things in the Illinois Quad Cities have the name Blackhawk. That area was where Sauk leader Chief Black Hawk spent a large part of his life. He's the same person that the NHL Chicago Blackhawks get their name from, albeit indirectly.

Well, this map was already XML approved. However, I confirm that after fixing the coordinates for some territories, everything seems to continue being ok.

Last Call

The map has passed through rigorous gameplay and graphics examinations and all major concerns have been addressed. If you have any other concerns, please make your voice heard. If after a reasonable amount of time there has not been any objection or protest, the map will be stamped and submitted for the Beta period.

Please, post questions and concerns if any.

          Beta - Quenching

---The Final Forge period has concluded for the Quad Cities Map. All objections have had their time. The Foundry and I hereby brand this map with the Foundry Beta Brand. Let it be known that this map is now ready for BETA Play. After an extended period of time in BETA and once all quirks and issues have been resolved, the map will be put into Full Play (barring any Lack vetoes).

Conquer Club, enjoy!

While the map is in BETA Play, there are a couple of administrative tasks that are required of the mapmaker(s) in addition to the initial gameplay testing:
    1. Please ensure that the first post of the thread contains all the necessary information to help future visitors to the development thread; it's particularly important to ensure the most recent images are there, along with any helpful guides (such as gameplay quirks/nuances or the location/size of any starting neutrals etc.)
    2. Finally, it is the responsibility of the mapmaker(s) to ensure that they respond to further feedback in a timely and constructive manner.

While you might have come off as harsh in the long run you did this map a giant favor. Looks much better than it did. Well done by all getting this one done.

No, you were right to make the suggestions you did. Sorry if my reaction to your input was nonconstructive.

Yep, Bruce is right. In hindsight it was the kick in the butt this map needed to really turn the corner.

I believe the first page has all the current info for this map.

OK - I'll admit that I'm impatient: how long can it take to upload files, eh?! :)
