Vancouver Island

[rocky mountain]

new and improved:


first version

comments?
i still need to do the territories, but i thought this would be a start.
my sister helped me with the graphics, and i now know how to use fireworks better
Victoria starts with 3 neutrals
'tis a start right?

Hm, the problem with long or extended areas, they tend to have linear game play...which is something I never enjoy.

[rocky mountain]

i didn't think about that... maybe i can make ports to make it more open, or is it a bad map that will never work...

[AndyDufresne]

It's not the worst map idea I've ever seen. Consider enlarging your canvas of game play...instead of being exclusively Vancouver Island, how about an area like this?


A map of the region like that map solve the "Linear Problem." Just a thought.

I think it's a fine first draft.

I could try that. But would it still be able to be called 'Vancouver Island"?

[The Viking]

I should think so, the main focus of the map would be Vancouver Island right?

[AndyDufresne]

I would think so, unless there is another name that would be better suited for the extended area.

If you do happen to do try a region like that, there are a lot of Ferries that run from B.C. and also to Washington State from the Island...could be an interesting part of game play.

Ya i know. i live in vancouver.
if i do the extended area, there would be a bonus for Mainland canada, and US!!! there would also have to be less territories on Vancouver island, because of the size, so there would only be like 3 continents on it or something. There are many ferries that just go along canada as well, like Vancouver to Nanaimo, and others. I might just do the Canada part, instead of the US part...

[AndyDufresne]

There are a lot of options and ideas to play with. Good luck.

It kinda looks like a Technicolor turd floating in the ocean.

[jarrett155]

You guys all kill me for bright colors. The ocean hurts my eyes.

so then you want different colours?

this might solvbe the problem of the "floating in the ocean" thing:

the only thing i can see in ur 1st post is:

comments?
something i forgot to put on the map: the rivers are immpassible.
25 territories
6 (7 counting victoria) continents
Victoria starts with 3 neutrals

[rocky mountain]

oh... i thought it was some figurative thing, like you don't like it or something. but the map actually didn't show up for you i'm feeling better now, but why can't you see it?

[t-o-m]

lol!
i dont know, its happened before - are you using imageshack.us?
because sometimes i have a problem seeing pics off that, dont know why!

[rocky mountain]

ya thats what i'm using... sry t-o-m

[rocky mountain]

you guys wanted the mainland also so here it is:

[AndyDufresne]

Is Canada mainland not playable?


--Andy

[bryguy]

interesting idea

1) The text is all pixely
2) most of the mainland coast is pixely
3) Plz modify the colors on vancouver island, they are annoying with how straight their cut offs are
4) make the main land playable!
5) Plz resize the water/image so that the straight lines of the mainland/island are along the bottom


eh more later

[rocky mountain]

the mainland is playable!!!!!!!!! i haven't done the territories, and i forgot to put it on the legend... the colours can go... anything you suggest? the borders between regions were on a map from the web, but they can change as well

[rocky mountain]

bryguy:
1) the title? cuz that's the font "gilligans island" i can change that if you want, cuz i don't really know how to fix pixelly things......
2)would it look better if it had a black line like USA?
3)suggestions for colours? the borders can definately change.
4)it is playable!!!
5)that i will do. i just didn't really have time for it before.

1) What program are u using to draw this?
2) Maybe just zoom in to 800% and take a brush/eraser and try and make it a little smoother
3) ill get back to you there
4) ok it didnt look like it..
5) good
