Can we see a latest version on this page please?
sorry... all the usual excuses (trips, jobs, girlfriends, etc., etc.). I've got a little free time tonight and tomorrow. I need to go over the map with the new xml capabilities in mind (starting the tax space with neutral player, etc.) and see how ...

I'll post some new images this week... been busy with other projects.

Another issue that I'd like to address is the -1 bonus you've got. This will just turn into one person being screwed into having -1 all game.
My best idea right now (for dealing with the -1 and for balancing the dark blue continent bonus) is to switch the War Tax space with the Conquer Club space ...

Since a majority of players are familiar with the original Monopoly layout, it will be easier to find spaces on the board if they have the familiar names. If the names are all new, spaces will be harder to find (especially when some are written upside-down).
If we want to be correct about this ...

I still don't like the names of properties use names of maps the unpopular ones being the cheapest the favourites being last
Thankyou spin the more universal the better, put places like tokyo on there
Thanks for the feedback, Max. I'm pretty sure the majority disagrees with you, but I'll ...

The blue region only has 3 borders right now, Boardwalk, "?", and the 1 bill. I think you need to slide the 50 up so that it touches both the 20 and Short Line.
So, what's going on here? Do you agree this should be addressed or perhaps have good reasoning for why it should stay?
I'm torn on this ...

Is there going to be an update 11 soon?
I don't really care how many times the map has been updated... can you put what page the latest version is on in the thread title instead? It helps to catch up on the discussion if you haven't checked in for a while.
It's on page 1. It's always on page 1 ...

Can we get a smooth path for the Emeryville->Alcatraz ferry route? It is a little 'elbowy'.

que?
The route from Alameda to China Basin is a very smoooth curve, while the route from Emeryville to Alcatraz goes kinda straight for a ways, then turns kinda suddenly... like an elbow. I thought it ...

What about placing the arrows around the actual decks... pointing towards the Shields and Question marks...You could make them double sided since thats how normal attacks work...but one way attacks integrated might be an interesting twist
The decks state that they border all those spaces, but the ...

anything more?

Thanks for moving that Corte Madera army shadow! I'm very pleased.

I think you could do a cool San Diego map, and I think you could do a cool Real Estate map, but I'm not feeling the synergy of the two together here yet.

A San Diego map would focus more on prominent features: Zoo, Sea World, TJ, Lego Land, surfers, military (Top Gun), immigrants, retired people ...

Also check out the human body threads... seems like some of those went off on brain-only tangents.

Like this one:

had a cool brain image in it.

johloh wrote:what do you guys think about the 'for each' alcatraz text being moved? should i keep it or switch it back?

It works for me. Maybe indent "bonus region held"? Also you lost your underlines and "No" should be capitalized.

Come on, Africa isn't all diseases. How about "Safaris" or "Drums" or "Elephants" or Lion King references (Hakuna Matata)? Pigmys? Deserts? Plenty of things for a 6-year-old to be enthused about.

are the bridges better now? or should I keep trying other things? (i know the dashes arent perfect, i just wanted to see if people liked them or not, i can straighten the pixels easily)
The dashes are an improvement. As you say they need to be cleaned up, and I think they are a bit heavy, but they ...

how do i save it in a way which i can view it on http://www.multiblah.com/cc_tester/???
The XML file needs to be saved as "plain text" but then named with ".xml" instead of ".txt". If it is saved as rich text or in Word, it won't work. There is another map making tool to check that the XML is ...

...I wouldn't be too careless with that.
My appologies. Sometimes a short flippant respponse carries more weight in this forum than a well thought out argument, but I'm happy to do either.

Riskopoly is very clearly playing on the words Risk and Monopoly, both of which are registered trademarks ...

-my eyes could be crooked, but i think the armies on the left side need to be moved to the left a pixel or two to be centered...
I think both the left and right side need to be bumped a pixel to the left.
-text of free army, attack jail, jail, and go seem blurred in the small version
That's the ...

I really don't think you guys can keep the name "Riskopoly" simply because of the fact that:
RISK is a registered trademark of Hasbro Inc. Conquer Club is not associated with RISK or Hasbro in any way.
Which is why Snapple has to pay Apple so much money to use their name? I don't think so. It is ...

there are no more comments because....?
because my comments have been said before?

It (still) seems odd that the army shadow for Corte Madera is up in the corner when there is so much room under the name. I'd also like to see some graphic distinction between bridges and ferry routes, but don't ...

Latest versions:

48 territories.

New: both maps made current with smaller card arrows, "continents include..." text, CC star in Riskopoly, etc.

I still need to adjust the XML for the new small map. I think I can ...

Thats why people with a sense of taste (ie: Andy, keyogi) have a final say. Seems they have some sense of what is and isn't a steaming pile of crap.
There are people here that play CC more than Andy or Keyogi or Lack do. There are people here with more map making experience. There are people here ...

I think jail should be like Alcatraz in the S.F. map, you can only attack into it, but not out. And you get +1 for having attack jail, and jail.
Jail provides an important route between the two continents in that corner. If jail was "attack in only" those would become the easiest bonuses to hold ...
