You are a nincompoop, whatever that is!

This is no good. I might have to start playing again to raise the numbers by one

Good to see the site still alive though. I have been hankering for some risk playing for the past year and having no luck getting it IRL.

Great post owen.

But I think it would be a better idea to both eat the cookie and keep it, so to speak. It would be relatively easy to add a setting in your profile where you could enable/disable "advanced mode" or something like that. When in "easy mode" all zombies, nukes and stuff would be ...

Depends on what effort is needed. I sometimes have some time available and would love to work on a map again. But at other times real life events force me to not visit CC at all for months. I might be interested if it's allowed to let a todo-list pile up and then release a new version with all ...

I really like both the Elder Scrolls games and Discworld books so it's awesome to have maps based on those here. Unfortunately both of them are very dated and among the least good looking on the site. Therefore I volunteer to create new better looking versions of these maps (with the same layout and ...

Definitely no emboss effect. Nice new gold title

I know about the map Nordic countries. It was started while I was working on this and raced past me in the forge. It's very different maps although they cover partly the same area and it's existence wasn't seen as a problem last time. There is for example at least 5 maps covering Europe, 3 different ...

Being away from the site for about 5 years and now coming back to play a bit here's my thoughts:

Implement an easy and advanced mode, maybe as two tabs on the games page or an option in your account settings. Where the easy mode is pretty much standard risk without any odd rules. Keep it as simple ...

Hello, I'm back on CC after about 5 years of absence. How time flies, it feels like yesterday... ;)

I came back mostly to play a little bit again, but I thought I'd check if there is any interest in me reviving this old map project?

Based on the comments last time and my own opinion the only thing ...

Keep the thread in here. I got a tiny bit extra motivation from the holiday stamps and starting tomorrow I actually have 6 days off work. I should be able to find enough time for the map.

but Fold is an unnatural combination with a fictional name. You must do something about that.

I am not ...

RedBaron0: To be honest, I am not sure. I was hoping of getting it done last week but failed to find time, or rather time got misplaced on other things. I will try to work on it tomorrow and then again in 4 days (have to do with my shift cycle, i work rotating around the clock, some days there is ...

Alright, i should be able to find some time to get a new version out in the next few days. Just makin a note here since I know it's been a while and I don't want to have the thread moved to the bin again 8-)

update 29/11: I wasn't able to work on it when I planned, other stuff got in the way. Now ...

The version 10 is pretty nice to look at but you need to either increase the size (probably hard or impossible due to size restrictions) or change the font (more likly) because right now I have major difficulties reading ANY text on the map. It can be done but it requires effort. Try with some font ...

ballong: *sigh*... It's never a good idea to attack others by displaying your own ignorance.

The definitions I was talking about are "the scandinavian mountains", "the scandinavian peninsula", "the scandinavian language area" etc. which are all very real and mean different things. There are ...

I am also a swede you know... didn't emigrate until ca five years ago. And I can look at a map.

3. There is obviously more then one definition of "scandinavia". This may not be perfectly fitting all the definitions but it is correct to +/- one country. Unless you have a better name to suggest, I ...

Thanks for some concrete suggestions.

I used the primary colors (red, green, blue, yellow) for as great contrast as possible for full color seeing people but it's clear some compromise is needed. I think the easiest will be to change Norway to a different color. Not sure which one yet, maybe some ...

A bit short on time atm, but I will get a new version out in a week or so.

A bunch of fine tuning is planned, a test with inverted borders, a little brighter sea and indeed, either a better or completely new legend. May also make the forest impassables a bit more "icony" with tree trunks if I can ...

I suggest you make the half-hexes around the info boxes raised / impassable. Looks like you've started doing this on the sides but not at all on the center box (above and below).

Are you talking about the hexes above B4 or F4 that don't have the 'inner bevel'? That was done on purpose, like if ...

Not sure what "with body added" means but I voted for it in the hope it means we can also attack the dudes with a circle on their body. I guess it could also mean you'll add body + hand for all guys which I'm against. First option is also ok.

edit: changed my vote then.

alstergren:

1. You could say this about a LOT of maps on this site... the age of realms, feudal, the usa maps, several different world maps... No map except one (classic?) is really needed. I (and apparently some others atleast) think it would be nice to have an alternative though.

2. No. it's ...

Having the the greenish deep forest pop out more, especially in Finland where it blends into the blue would be best to keep that impassible uniform and recognizable as an impassible.
i didn't realise that we had a forest in finland. isn't it a lake?


Yes indeed, which should be clear because it ...

Strange that noone noticed this while the map was in beta... Is it still possible to fix?

I know this is quenched and all, but the numbers are printed in the wrong locations on the large map. The small map is fine.

Here is an example screenshot:

Maybe it's just temporary error for me here, but it doesn't look like it.. i tried ...

I always figured it was easier for non-scandinavian people to know where the places are, if they are named as they are now, especially if I don't have a mini-map. Sure, the color is a good clue, but that make it harder for colorblind ppl. Perhaps ease of use is more important then looks here? I ...
