Napoleonic Europe 1812 - Ver 41/44 [Quenched]

[ender516]

The turtle has surfaced, and I have nudged him. Let us see what entails.

[Raskholnikov]

Hilarity?!...

[ender516]

No, hilarity ensues, I think.

Lord, I'm getting punchy.

[MrBenn]

The map is now playable for Beta testing

[Mikey-T]

it's playable!!!!!!

[Kabanellas]

Greeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pamoa]

and the first one is for me

great job

[Arama86n]

About bloody time

I promised myself earlier today that I wasn't going to join/start any new games until September (tourney/ clan war excluded).

Yeah... that plan just went out the window.

[Industrial Helix]

I've been waiting sooo long to play this map! Congrats Rask and Kab!

[Raskholnikov]

Wow! it's actually live! Thanks to everyone who contributed! Let us know please what you think of it....

[danryan]

Ummm yeah this one is slightly complex.

[Army of GOD]

Haha yay! Finally!

I didn't look through the whole thread and I'm sure this has been discussed elsewhere in the foundry, but I'd love to see a change to the Territory names that are abbreviated.

For example;

Instead of the territ being listed as "BV" on the map and "Bavaria" in the attack drop down. I would like it to read "BV - Bavaria" in the drop down.

Does that make any sense?

Ya, kinda like WW2: Europe.

Been discussed. Abbreviations were used/required due to available space.

PROBLEM: He (Hessen) tert troops are not in the circle. They are under the battle site sabers.

I'm fine with the abbreviations on the map. I know they are required on many maps due to design and long names. What I'm asking about is that the Deploy/Attack/Fort drop downs list "He - Hessen" instead of just "Hessen". It would be much easier to Deploy/Attack/Fort without referring to the chart to see which is which.

This is only a problem on the small map, the large map doesn't have this issue.

Actually that would make sense and make everything easier... do you see any problems in doing this Ender?

[ender516]

Provided there are no limits to the length of the territory names in the XML, I see no problem with incorporating the abbreviations into them as prefixes.

The correction to the small map coordinates for Hessen is a simple matter as well. I'm not sure how we missed that after all the fiddling we did.

[phantomzero]

the Europa map puts them after the name. example. Albania (ALB)

I'm fine with either way as long as I don't need to consult the legend on the map every time.

[Industrial Helix]

I want to say that I love how the XML tells the battle and date, a very nice touch and it really conveys the history in the map.

[Kabanellas]

I think that Malta starting neutral troops should be reduced to 1. No point in letting it act as a wall of protection to the player starting in Sicily.

My Fractured America map has for example PEI - Prince Edward Island in the XML, so I don't think there will be a problem.

Yes, I like it too. That was the intent, and I believe it was Rask's idea (might have been Kab's, but I can't claim it as mine).

Well, the names get even longer here. I think the worst case using an abbreviation is Extremadura, which I will use as my example below.

I am of two minds about where to put the abbreviations. I'd like to put them after the name and in parentheses, but they may be more useful before the name as a key. I'd propose a choice between these two forms:

1. Extremadura (Badajoz, March 1812) [Ex]
2. Ex: Extremadura (Badajoz, March 1812)

Looking at them here, I am inclined to the second one, otherwise the user will have difficulty finding the abbreviation he or she is seeking.

All Rask's idea here - and a great one indeed
