hello
I see you've put in a fair amount of work to this map, making it look better and all. And honestly, it looks good. But my main fear for this map is just the playability in general.
In my opinion, the playability of this map look really really dull. this reminds me strongly of the sort of ...

hey, this old thing's being revived! nice
let's see what you can pull off w/ it doogey

Hello
Thought i'd mention that you have a really awesome map here.
Looks really well done visually as well as just gameplay strategy
Far more creative and original than any of the current Final forge maps out there.
Really looking forward to playing this one.

It looks pretty good for being in paint, because paint is unmanageable.

Sadly, i really think your time would be better spent on a different map. We already have a pretty large collection of maps revolving around the mediterranean sea, and this would just be another map to add to the collection ...

any chance you could explain Antarctica for me? i was hoping it'd be an actual continent (probably with the bonus of a sub continent) rather than being neutral, which seems to be the general regard so far. just wondering if you had anything planned.

Question: Isnt there going to be Any Bonus for holding Antarctica?!? everything else has gone from continents to subcontinents, yet i believe you're completely excluding our 7th continent.

just a thought, have vroengard connect to 2-3 far reaching parts of the map, because the dragon riders could just hop on their dragons and go whereever they pleased. thought that would add a good strategy/ movement bit to the map

so what's left to be done on this one??

from what i'd heard in a different thread, it sounds like an Eragon/ Alagaisia map is Dublin Doogey's next project

quick question, did jota mention when he might be back?

One thing i would revise is the placement of most of the country names. A large majority of the names are hanging loosely in the sea. granted, this works usually very well, but only if there isnt enough room in the country itself to fit the text. for some of the larger countries right in the middle ...

ok, you get credit for the original idea of tunnels but i still have ideas

Kevinc, what were your thoughts on the whole tunnels/dual-level map?? I have a lot of ideas and could prolly help you out with it if you want.

hey, back to the idea of tunnels as a possibility.

Thought i'd throw this out there, but it is possible to have an upper and lower portion. Like you could have the whole Areal view of the castle and like 20-30 countries up in there, being all the castle, siege towers, etc etc. But then, right ...

i'd still like in

you can start doing the xml anytime you want, and in this case, prolly the sooner the better. you just have to understand that your map is still in the works, so any name changes that you may make on the map have to be corrected in the xml as well.

hey doogey, how's this looking for being finished? Andy said by the end of the day, it'd be done, but that was a few days ago. Did you manage to get him the xml?
~T

hey, i'll take you both on

Andy, what is the status of this map so far??

be sure to change it on the big map as well

Aaaaaaannnnnnddddddyyyyyy......Playtest update?

looks awesome to me! lets play!

just an fyi, no one can force the map creator to do anything. It's completely his/her map to create. People in this thread are here to give good constructive criticism and to say what they would LIKE to see added/changed. Only Andy and Lack get the final say in what's crucial to be done or not. So ...

So how's the test runs going?? if no one's gotten around to it, i'd be happy to play ^_^

sooooo........any further news on this one doogey?? you're almost completely done! just put in a few extra minutes to complete what little things are left, and boom! new map!
