I really like the black outline around the country names... but i liked it better before the actual font color was white. :roll:

I should also mention that that's pretty much the only thing I DON'T like about this map.
Make sure you spend a lot of time on the xml, so you don't make a lot of amateurish stupid mistakes like me. :oops:

the arrow labeled "hadrian's wall" i think is not pointing very accurately toward hadrian's wall. I'm assuming hadrian's wall is the thing separating Scotlan and North England.

Well I was assuming that Nobunaga meant by that arrow that it was a one-way border and that North England could attack Scotland, but not vice-versa. Isn't that why Scotland has a 5-army bonus?
Currently on vacation. Sorry.

... Yes, Hadrian's Wall blocks all attacks from Scotland into North England. It's a one-way border.

... The XML on both maps (large and small) checks out. Now just waiting for contact from Lack.

There is great potentuial in this map. Bubmit it, but split at-least one "contry" in half, beacuse with 29 "contries" there will always be some of those annoying nuetral armies. It it overwise good.

There's 42 countries, just like the classic map, just right. It seems someone can't count...

... I think he/she was counting on the original map I posted - there were only about 29 on that first map.

... I submitted the XML for approval. If the map meets the quality reqs of the site, it'll be a go! :!:

... Got a PM from Lack stating he wants to get all the server problems ironed out before he adds more maps.

... No hurry.

hadrians wall

Postby amandahugandkiss on Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:01 pm

this comment might be too late, but it would be nice if hardian's wall was a little (just a little) bigger to be more visable.

Just spitballing here

Id need to wear glasses for a start in order to need new ones!!
The Irish connection are obvious grim. Dont state the obvious, its a waste of everyones time.
But you must agree it looks a little like it could attack both strathclyde and south highlands.
Simply trying to prevent Nobunaga getting loads of emails and posts like mine.
Good map though!

... Thanks for the compliment. I know playing on the Large map means scrolling, but clicking on Large Map should (I think) clear up any border questions.

.... Also, the Sussex to Isle Of Wight bug has been fixed. Sorry bout that one - a typo.

... Also - I've recieved some comments concerning border confusion in 2 areas.

... In Scotland, Granpian CANNOT attack North Highlands (nor the other way around).

... In Wales, Dyfed shares a border with Gwynedd. This one is a bit hard to see, I admit.

... The maps, both large and small have been edited to make this clear. I'm sure Lack will put them into use when he has time away from his "server-overload" madness. :wink:
