Well lets see...

---It looks interesting so far. With some obvious work on the countries and borders it could be made into...something.

---Curiousity strikes, is this a wrap around map? Can you attack from far east to the far west? I think it'd be neat if a map had that characteristic, other than the classic map.

Oooh. I've never read the novels, but this looks like a great piece of geography to base a map off of. Are you planning to redraw your own from it, or will you be contacting Mr. Moorcock and Mr. Church about using their artwork?

Moorcock released all copyrights and patents on his works about elric stormbringer and the dragon lsles for people to use and expand upon

but as for redrawing it i would like to see that done.. i have no skill at all at this which is why i sent it to banana stomper to begin with... its just the over all i want opinion on

I find it's a little big

but i'd still try it when it's done

That could easily be solved by reducing the size of the ocean

Love it! With a little work it could be a really great map. Size is good, at least for the large version.

I think MS Paint probably isn't the best tool for this task.

HighBorn · Post by **HighBorn** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 9:05 am

yeah i know but its all i halfway know how to use

HighBorn · Post by **HighBorn** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 10:18 am

GIMP

Open Source, so it's free, and it's just as good as photoshop...

i need an idea for bonuses and a decision on where to add another entrance for the northwest cont....

---40 countries? I think I counted this right now.

---And right off the bat...there are a few problems...

Look at the Brown continent --> 10 countries, 1 border? It seems like it should have at least 3-4, maybe even 5.
While the light sand one has 5 countries, but 3 borders? 5 Countries is usually considered small continent of bonus 2.
Pink has 7 countries, but only two borders. It seems like the sand one and it should flip flop number of borders.
Green...what's going on with the sea green? Is that apart of green? No route to it.
Orange has 9 countries --> 4 borders? I'm not sure about the sea green island. I think there is some trouble here...you have to go all the way around the map to get to orange as it is. This map seems a little linear.
Red has 5 countries, 2 borders. It seems alright.

Do the castles mean anything?

HighBorn · Post by **HighBorn** » Wed Jun 14, 2006 3:23 pm

not paticulart was thinking bout takeing out most cause they were just for show and maybe use a couple of them to represent the one way attack paths. or something along those lines
