well, I am but a novice when it comes to photoshop, and wouldn't mind someone picking this up, so it could become a reality. If anyone is interested, I'd support it, and would continue to give my feedback as it keeps progressing. I'd still like some credit for what I HAVE done, but I know it's not ...

BUMP! Do you guys want me to pick this map back up?

I'm working on some of the minor details....

Please answer the new poll.

Feedback please. I think we are almost there.

The water on the west side of the map...just doesn't look like it fits. I'm not sure why, but it doesn't seem to have the right feel, at least just yet. I'd play around with different textures or perhaps even colors and shades. As for the image in the east area, I understand the idea behind using ...

That is sick.

Thanks, very much. i really enjoy looking at everyone else's art. im not crazy good at things, but i love trying to re-create some stuff that i see.

new to the thread, i think i went through all 146 pages, looking at the pictures, and reading some of the comments........i think i have played games with a few of you guys, and have talked in the chat room with a few others. nice to see you all.

well, i can only assume, by the mere fact that no one is supplying me with information on how to improve, or move forward with this map, that it isn't worth continuing.

i will put a poll up to determine this. thanks

The regular map doesn't have an england-scandinavia connection, the real version does. You're wrong.

yeh, the classic map (on CC) DOES, in fact, have the Great Britain-Scandinavia connection. i used it all the time. the map doesn't appear to have it, but the xml allows you to use it.

Yes, but i dont know how many territories or how much bonus.

No, there is plenty on the map.

Why is texas 4? It should be 2, 3 at most.

because it has 4 terits 3 of them being borders and it can be attacked from 8 places


QFE....the reason Texas has 4 is due to the fact that so many different territories can attack it, making it a very difficult to hold.

Oregon Country. the ...

Update 6
Changed Bridges.
Added info on one way attacks.
Lightened ocean color to help match w/ the Gulf of Mexico.
Cleared a path in the New Mexico Mountains for the railway.

guys, i need feedback on this. please tell me what else, if anything, needs to be done next.

i guess i can continue work on the XML for now, and hope for a response.

Well, i decided to go ahead and work on this a little tonight. let me know what you all think, and what needs to change.

well, i wanted to jump in here and tell you guys that i am really sorry for the lag of not continuing. i found out my wife has been cheating on me, so some real life stuff has been consuming me these last few days.

i will continue work as soon as i can.

i will be glad to make the minor changes that have been set out, but to be quite honest, i am very much a novice w/ Photoshop. i am really unsure how to make good looking railroad tracks. i have tried a few things, but they look like crap. if anyone can give me a few pointers on how i could, it ...

maybe Andy don't like it

so, i guess what you are saying Samus, is that it isnt that important to be geographically accurate?

im happy to make all these changes, as long as we understand that most of them require the accuracy to decline.

well, about the railroads.....


not to be mean, but i really dont understand what the confusion is. its simply a linear attack system:

X<--->Y<--->Z<--->A<--->B

X can attack Y, Y can attack X or Z, Z can attack Y or A, A can attack Z or B, B can attack A. a railroad can attack through the ...

So any X can attack any X?

Yes, it's a railway. Joining countries together meaning they can attack each other.
I think it's like that, kind of like a water connection or an airport.

no.....

ive put this example in a few times now, but Montanas can attack all countries it touches, just like ...

well, i had already done most of the xml prior to the cross trick, so i figured i would post this so you guys could tell me which ones to focus on.

Gemineye....good job on those mountains.
*Can you attack from Montanas to Lago Grande or are the mountains going to be used as unpassable barriers?

unpassable barriers--with the exception of the railway.

*The water looks interesting!

good or bad, interesting?
