ok since you asked nicely

1. the colors llok to much like each other which makes the legend not clear and can cause confusing for people with lesser eyesight

2. I dont like the capital like bonus but thats just me (bull wheel and star)

3. the flag doesnt fit in maybe make it a bit curly, or give it some distort

4. the grades or whatever dont suit well if you aint gonna give a grid.

5. the army circles, (i prefer them lighter as the rest of the map but thats no concern) arent they a bit small?

the gameplay looks good though i would love to play this

The flag looks fine to me. Everything else on the map is so straight, I don't think a rippling flag would go well with the image. You could try it though.

other thoughts
1. the army circles look a bit strange. perhaps make them like the army circles in d-day. i think those would fit better.
2. the tree colour is too bright, desaturate it a bit
3. make a -1 decay on the dead zone because that's a very important place.
4. make the bridges wooden

the straight flag doesnt fit the texture IMO

rgbubba · Post by **rgbubba** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:24 pm

600x600 with lighter circles and wooden bridges

800x800 with lighter circles and wooden bridges

i like it. the flag looks great.

could you also post the xml test with army numbers?

one thing i don't like is the black border around the map. especially since in the large one side has no border while another has a very thick one

Leaky and DFW are missing army circles. I also noticed that the colorblind issues oaktown addressed hasnt been issued.

The large map looks a little blurry. Did you just scale up the small one?

blurry indeed.

Sorry I've been away for a few days - I'll try to give this map some attention this week.

Colorblind issue: if you could play with the color of East Texas we might be able to knock this problem out... i find East, Central, and Gulf Coast difficult to distinguish.

What exactly is central about Central Texas?

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:52 am

the digits at the top and at the right side of the map aren't readable (on the small map)

rgbubba · Post by **rgbubba** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 8:53 pm

Thanks guys! I will sort out the problems as soon as I can!

rgbubba · Post by **rgbubba** » Mon Feb 11, 2008 11:25 pm

With Border fixed, circle darken abd East Texas darken

600X600 darker East Texas

800x800 darker East Texas

Yes I know that looks fun but it's true. They call it Central Texas. I have lived here most of my life and I still don't know why.

Map looks good - can't wait to play.............

but since I am from texas also and live in Midland - the geographical stuff bugs me - i have not went through the rest of the posts so i do not know if this has been brought up -

Midland would be better as Andrews
Odessa better as San Angelo(especially if that is going to be Hill Country)
Big spring is also definitely not hill country but west texas -

Since I live in this area (raised in Big Spring - Lived in Midland for 10years - 40years total in this area) I guess that is why those bother me the most -

I know you are limited by borders and such but I also feel that it needs to be closer to truth (Midland is between Odessa and Big Spring) than the way it is even if that means i lose my beloved Midland!

Thanks for bring up this issue. I have looked into it and have changed that area serval time for other people. I have overlaid many maps to make sure it's as close as it can get. I have friends in those area as well and have been over there many times. Let me think about it and I'll get back to you . But in the meantime you can see the latess post on page 29 or 30.
