But the small map height restriction is 800 px.thenobodies80 wrote:About space you have other 200 px if you want : SUPERSIZE LARGE MAP: WIDTH up to 1400 px ; HEIGHT 1200 px
The supersize limits are weirdly inconsistent that way. When the small limit is 800, it doesn't matter that the large limit is 1200... if I aim for a +25% size differential then the maximum height for the large becomes 1.25 * 800 = 1000.
What the actual f*ck, nobodies?thenobodies80 wrote:In this way you'll never be wrong natty. Your way to reply to people it's pretty annoyin, as I said to you in past, like you know everything about mapmaking and graphics and everyone else is shit.natty_dread wrote:But the small map height restriction is 800 px.thenobodies80 wrote:About space you have other 200 px if you want : SUPERSIZE LARGE MAP: WIDTH up to 1400 px ; HEIGHT 1200 px

Now I understand why so much people stay away from the foundry and when I ask them I receive 99% of times the same reply.
Anyway Good Luck with your maps.
If it seriously bothers you that much, just pretend that Java is included in the Sumatra territory.thenobodies80 wrote:You're drawing a map about eurasia and you add Suwalesi (Oceania) but not Java (Asia)....this is the point.
No, I won't. I'm not going to add another 100 pixels of height to the map just to add one territory. There's no point in that. The size restrictions aren't the only reason (like I already told you).thenobodies80 wrote:If the problem is that you don't have space just ask
You're the foundry foreman. Should you really be taking "digs" at mapmakers?thenobodies80 wrote:About the attitude I'm not talking about this thread but more in general, i took just the occasion to take a dig to you.
I don't care. If anyone has a problem with me, they can come talk to me directly, and we can work it out. If they'd rather gossip about me in pm:s or whatever, that's their problem.thenobodies80 wrote:If you want I can quote some PM or posts where people tell the same about it

Come on, now, natty, that seems like a double-standard. He's just as human as you are! And if anyone needs a dig, it's you, buddy.I know this very well, but this is not what I'm suggestingnatty_dread wrote:Maybe that's because Austria kind of also includes the Czech. Anyway. Borders can be fudged whenever it benefits gameplay clarity. You should know this, Victor.Victor Sullivan wrote:the border between Austria and Germany looks way off
My stance is accuracy should be used when there are no major gameplay repercussions. In this case, I don't see much of one. Be it the land of three-fourths of my ancestors, I might be a little biased and stubborn in this regard 
Ha ha. So you're saying that I "need" a foundry mod to come to my map thread, and without any provocation start slinging insults at my face and accuse me of being annoying when I've been nothing but respectful in said thread?Victor Sullivan wrote:And if anyone needs a dig, it's you, buddy.
I never said anything of the sort. I have respect for you with regard to your mapmaking knowledge and such, but some of that is weakened when you act less than respectful to others inside and outside of this forum. It seems nobodies agrees at least to a certain extent.natty_dread wrote:Ha ha.

Whatever. If you have such a low opinion of me, then just stay out of my map threads.
Hm, almost. If it included all of Austria, Germany wouldn't connect to Italy, and perhaps it shouldn't. And even so, Germany's eastern border shouldn't look off, given the Czech Republic is included in the Austria territory. But perhaps it's petty.natty_dread wrote:Anyway: The territory Austria represents both Austria and Czech Republic, but due to space constraints it is named simply "Austria".
Yeah, just look at the posts in this thread for example. I'm answering respectfully to all questions and suggestions, and then out of the blue I get accused of being an asshole and annoying and shit like that.Victor Sullivan wrote:I never said anything of the sort.

Got it already.Industrial Helix wrote:Did you apply for the supersize stamp?
Is there a gameplay reason for doing so?Industrial Helix wrote:I'm really liking this map, but one suggestion I have is how about splitting up the Philippines into two regions, Luzon and Mindanao?
It's all good. I didn't expect anything less from you. I'll leave your thread in peace now. It's obvious constructive criticism isn't wanted.natty_dread wrote:Tkr4lf, I don't really appreciate your "attitude" either. The way you come off right now is all holier-than-thou, like you have the right to judge my character or personality.
Also, I seriously doubt you are qualified to say what "everyone thinks". Speak for yourself, don't try to lend credibility to your arguments by pretending to represent some kind of imaginary majority.
Anyway, if you have a problem with me, you're welcome to discuss it somewhere else, with me or whoever you like. This map thread however is not the place for it. Any further posts on this subject will be ignored.
As for Java, it's already included on the map. There's a territory called Sumatra & Java. Furthermore, Sulawesi is definitely part of Asia, not Oceania.

don't bother responding i know what your answer will be even though i can't see your posts
My feelings aren't hurt at all. I couldn't give a shit less. I was just trying to help you out, let you know how you come off to people, as is evidenced by people's reactions toward you (see this thread, and others). But whatever guy, I don't know why I even tried. Anyway, as you said, this isn't the place for this. So, good day, sir.natty_dread wrote:Well boo hoo.tkr4lf wrote:It's obvious constructive criticism isn't wanted.
Quit being such a fucking cry baby. I gave you a perfectly reasonable answer to your criticism, like I gave nobodies who you're parroting. If you come here acting all "yeah you're this huge asshole, see, but if you just do what I say then maybe you can redeem yourself, hur hur" then don't expect me to be all nicey-nicey to you.
Like anyone who actually bothers to read this thread can see, I've taken plenty of feedback and implemented plenty of changes that have been suggested by others, just like in any other map thread. I don't agree with every suggestion, but if I don't, I respond and give a reason for it. If that's too much to handle for your sensitive feelings, I'm sorry, I don't know how the f*ck I could sugar-coat it any more than I already do.

Sullivan, I'm still waiting to hear why you think this should be done. I don't necessarily disagree, it's just I can't figure out the reason you're asking for this...Victor Sullivan wrote:Also, I think it would do well to have a connection between UAE and East Iran or Oman and East Iran (UAE--East Iran being my personal preference, given their closeness in comparison).
