By this I mean, first come up with an idea for a map. Then come up with a gameplay that suits the idea. Don't just draw a map and then try to adapt it to whatever idea you get later... the one thing that truly separates a good draft from a bad one is that it shows some planning, that there is a solid concept behind it.


7. Listen to criticism


I think this was the main point he was wanting to you get from the article cheez. What's the details behind the map? I could easily pull a picture of ohio with its counties defined, and ask someone to finish and say ill give them some credit, but that's not really making the map. These guys spend A LOT of time behind their maps, its not something you just throw together.

Then why call it "someplace"?

Makes it seem like just some place.

Not meaning to reiterate what others have been saying, but we definitely need more information and details about your idea in order to give good feedback. Also, are the 9 territories in the middle not supposed to have a bonus?

This is certainly not a draft.
The same thing --> http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 5#p3097495

I strongly suggest you to put your efforts on one map at time.
