hey coleman, could u take down the poll so that i could put the one up that i meant to put up, it was supposed to have 3 choices, one of them being "I like the idea, but it needs better graphix/gameplay"

gimil, you forgot to take down the poll.


btw, bryguy, don't bother putting up a new poll. instead focus on the map, add terits and stuff and then people will like the idea. at the moment you got mostly negative votes because frankly they have nothing to vote on.

I liked this how you first made it sound. Where you gain more and more negatives as you expand outward unless you get resources and stuff to keep you functional.

At least that's how I read it...

?

are there some rules not shown on this map?


one thing I noticed is that the map is 801px high. So, remove that 1px!!!


You have some gameplay issues because I think whoever starts in Comenal Castle is going to win or at least have a huge advantage. Also, there's only 7 resources. It looks like Sratun Castle is out of the mix.


suggested to do list

1. fix height
2. redo / touch up borders so they look finished
3. make borders for different zones (shown in the mini-map) noticeably different.

from there you should worry about the gameplay and placement of resources, castles, villages, and impassables etc...

oops, better remove it

wrong, fishing dock is a resource

definately need impassables. I stink at mountains, so it would not be those. Maybe a river or lake, or cliffs like in Feudal, but i cant figure out how to do cliffs

feudal does it different. not better not worse.
in fact the 3 conquest maps. aor: might, aor: magic and feudal have totally different gameplays which is very good. also they are suitable for different gametypes.


and ontopic i have just 1 request. please don't use numbers for terits. bust your brain and come up with short names cause numbers suck.

yea, but for me i like to just get a resource pair or 2 in AoR, then conquer everybody. In Feudal, i just conquer left and right to the nearest castle 8)

ok, and i agree, they do suck, i just needed them in there so that

1. i had temporary territory names
2. i could count easier how many terits there were

Put in the names and keep the numbers in the corner of the territory.
