Good by me.

Thank Gilligan

I love how no one questioned my authority to do that.

I love how no one questioned my authority to do that.

Well, seeing you had posted in the XML check thread, i naturally assumed you had authorisation to do it.

Well that's no fun

[RedBaron0]

How the f!@# do you have the authority to do that Gilligan?!!?!?

What? Am I too late?

[thenobodies80]

Only a very small suggestion before to post a final call for this one:
You might have forgotten to delete a couple of borders where they cross the river.





As said just a few pixels thing.

Also this border looks thicker if compared with the others of the same type, but I don't mind if you don't want to change it.

Ohhhhhh man, first checked XML going live...

[perchorin]

This map looks AMAZING! Can't wait to try it out!

[Vlasov]

Where's Lubyanka Prison?

Excellent, and thank-you perchorin...i hope it plays well.

[cairnswk]

Where's Lubyanka Prison?

Vlasov, thank-you for dropping in...
Lubyanka Prison is too small for a region on this map...but would be located in inner Kasnosel'skiy near the border with Kitay-gorod.

[macbone]

Pretty map, cairns!

[iancanton]

it is indeed one of the prettier maps!

the tsentralny bonus explanation in the legend is potentially confusing. if inner ring is +5 and tsentralny without inner ring is +8, then the total is +13. if tsentralny is +13, overriding the other two, then a player receives exactly nothing extra for holding both of the other two bonuses, so why put it in the legend at all? some players might interpret it as giving +13 in addition to the total of +5 and +8.

krasnosel'skaya ought to be krasnoselskiy. krasnosel'skaya is a metro station whose name refers to a street of that name, while krasnoselskiy is the name of the district on the map. my source is the moscow city government's website, which has a helpful map of administrative districts, modified so that -sky becomes -skiy to match this map's convention.

bogorodskoye ought to be bogorodskoe. this is because u have used the -oe ending instead of -oye in every other place where it occurs. i've been through all of the other names on the map and i've noticed no others that don't fit.

i don't see what harm it does to have it there, and there shoouldn't be any issues since the overrides are in the xml.

Changed.

Mmmm. seems most of those names are in the english version.

Thanks oneyed. but i'll stick with what i find on google..if you ask me, there are many docs out there that give different spellings and version, so i doubt if any of them know what they're on about, let alone mysefl, ian or others.

[Industrial Helix]

First time looking at this map and I have to say it looks really great, I appreciate the unique gameplay as well.

hm, is Sydney still Sydney? could it be written Sidny because Slavs pronounced it so? I learned 10 years Russian and I seek for these names in Russian pages. Russian never say Bogorodskoie (Bogorodskoye), just Bogorodskoe.

about Maryina Roshcha. I will try to explain this more: there is used ь after r what is soft mark. the r is pronounced soft (in combination with i).
so my bad also. it would be Marina Roshcha, maybe also yours Maryina Roshcha - but here must be y pronounced as in day - soft. but it is not exactly what in Russia combination of r with ь and i. maybe Marjina is the closest for Slavs (who are not use cyrilic)...

so I could be fine with Maryina Roshcha, but Bogorodskoe, not Bogorodskoye.

Oneyed...i don't want to get into this discussion again with otherwise i wil become very mad abo-ut language semantics.
I appreciate you have learned Russian for 10 years, but i am taking that as it is from Google.
End of story. If many other players come in and say it should be otherwise, then i will change it...got the message.
