This map sucks donkey balls and doesn't look at all like anything from the books.

An idea:
-Make all airplanes neutral
-Airplanes have no normal attack routes, airplanes can only bombard ships (ie can attack ships but not deploy on them)
-Only batteries can attack airplanes
-Airplanes get a +1 deployment bonus (the new thing where a troop gets added to that territory and only ...

Why not just use a smaller X or a smaller set of icons? I don't have too much of a problem with the legend, I'm just trying to think how it could look better. The arrows seem slightly out place, even a different style of arrow might work.

(BTW, I do really like the concept behind this map).

I think the legend could be improved with more icons and less arrows.

So instead of:
(arrow) Ports connect to other Ports and Docks

Have:
(anchor) Ports connect to other Ports and Docks
(dock) Docks connect only along the lines
For each port you also get a +1 if you have a Pirate Cover ...

I think it's funny that he put FINAL in the filename, because, as well as this dude listens to suggestions, it probably is the final version.

I agree that the map needs to be larger. There is no sensible reason to have so many countries and have it be so small.

I think this map should be released at the same time as Doodle Earth. They will even each other out.

Edit: And I don't mean that as an insult to either map; just that one is epic and huge and the other is small and humorous.

Well, if anyone gets mad, I can't actually take it off, but I can heavily edit it so that it's nothing like the original.

Also, I didn't make each periodic element its own territory, so those are grouped by color. Some of the other territories I kinda lumped together or used editors discretion on ...

I think that you should make it more like an actual Ikea store. Ikea stores have a unique layout the way they wind you through the store- no other store does that the way they do. Another thing they have is those shortcuts, if you don't want to wind your way through the store.

I told another player recently, that if he broke green, I would break green the next turn. He broke green, but weakened himself. I knocked him out, but kept my word and still broke green.

You are going to have to wait until the changes to xml come out, so that you can designate the cheese pieces as neutral. Otherwise someone could luck into a big bonus.

I think a better analogy for this map might be Wario Ware vs. Quake 4. Obviously Quake 4 is going to have fancy graphics that stomp all over Wario Ware, but they can both be fun. The graphics in Wario Ware are innovative, clean and fit perfectly within the theme.

The same goes for this map. I ...

Chattin' about team chat

What's the most times you've team chatted with no response from anyone else?

Apparently, I like to talk to strategy at myself because I've said 7 things in a doubles game and my partner has yet to respond.

I also wonder, if you are one of those people who doesn't respond to team chat, do you ...

Have some more people print it out, play it, and report back on playability. If it works, then the impact of the "not enough countries" argument would lose a lot of weight.

Question on trade-ins after elimination

If you eliminate someone, and you get their cards, aren't you supposed to be able to trade in? I did this in two flat rate games today and it wouldn't let me. Does it have to be a mixed set?

Make the dollar sign smaller than the number and it must be on the left.

I also don't like your title font- I would lose the drop-shadow or whatever you have on there.

Another idea:

You basically put two identical maps on one map, and then make them light and dark, so they represent day and night, or, underworld and overworld.

Then you make connections between the dark and light map with some kind of icon.

It could work in a fantasy setting, or in a ...
