Things are slightly skewed, and the nile river is enlarged and centered because that was the center of egypt essentially.

Small world
long before any farao perhaps
Sometimes they had some Nubian desert, but not like that

pm me the map then, or even mail me

I say its better when 2 authors make 2 maps that more good and people can have more option to see.
You just work in yours way and i will work in my.Good luck.

Just make it visually different than your france map.

I think the other one looked better, but I used a new set of colors do you like this better?

Fircoal · Post by **Fircoal** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:48 am

IT will look better with the terriories, in looks like they actually should be and if their names were there.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:53 am

Changed the colors again and put a new texture in and I think this is the best one so far.

Fircoal · Post by **Fircoal** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:54 am

Could you put the names into it yet?

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 3:06 am

started adding names, and realized i should get approval of style and looks of it before I finish.

dots in that one purple country will be fixed by next update.

I've got some ideas for the look of an ancient map I want to try out. I was going to put those ideas into GodStorm, but am choosing not to continue with that map.

reverend_kyle, if you want some help with this one, I'm keen to offer my services.

Game play ideas?

I could use all of those I could get.. other ideas are welcome also.

More to do with the visual style. I could do another ancient/historic map myself, but we already have Ancient Greece, this one and qwert looking into other ancient maps. If you'd like me to provide you with an alternative base map to work off I can do that. If not, I don't mind, just thought I'd put forward the offer.

Gameplay ideas... I was thinking of trying to get some sort of god/mythology twist added. Some sort of extra bonus to symbolise power, but it probably would've just ended up being in the same vein as all these capital city bonus ideas floating around.

If it could be done, awarding an extra card could be something new!?!

I think a sumerian empire map would be cool for you.

I'll keep that in mind. For now, I'll await Andy's reply regarding GodStorm.

Back on topic though, I'm not a fan of that font. Or maybe it's just the style that's being used. Could you maybe put some different fonts in each continent so we can compare and discuss?

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 4:09 am

added a couple more styles to discuss..

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 9:26 am

bump.
