Please edit the Original Post to be:

Explanatory Text
Large Map
Small Map

Any Previous Versions (Large or Small) that you feel like keeping in the OP.

Having to scroll down through several versions to find the small map (V13) isn't exactly "user friendly". Explanatory Text can be before or after the current versions of the map.

Thanks.

Yeah, you need Large and Small first. It's fine to wait until you don't think you'll need to make changes to bust out the small map though.

For me that's now or at least soon, but I'm one person.

then tomorrow i'll put up a small version. i don't think any graphic modifications will appear. or if they do they will be small.

tomorrow when i present the small version i'll also modify the first post.

here is small and large. i think the text is visible on the small and the shields fit well.

Telvannia · Post by **Telvannia** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:07 pm

a few shields i thin could do with being moved a few pixels, so that they dont touch anything here are a few examples:

mua up a few pixels.
gunn up a few pixels
market right a few
ayr right a few
tait a few down
foc a few left
iron mine up right
blacksmith right

those are a few in the south.

also is legend darker in the small version?

i have nearly run out of complaints now

Aerial Attack · Post by **Aerial Attack** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:17 pm

If you notice, the whole map is "darker." That's just a perception thing (looking from farther away - Small - vs looking up close - Large).

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:44 pm

thanks tel for the suggestions. will fix in next update.

and yes both you and aerial are right the small is a bit darker because i altered the lighting on the map.

i'll make both maps the same next update.

any other issues? i feel the large is done but as tel pointed the small version needs minor adjustments to shields and perhaps names.

that is from page 3 when i hit you with my first list of unreasonable demands, bet you are regretting saying that now

well personally i think this map is nearly done.

I think i will have to go and find someone else to make demands off

whenever i log in and check on my map i want to see lots of feedback so i have something to do or see it quenched. i hate to see a map sit around for days without feedback.

and yes i too feel the map is almost done. other then the minor graphic changes i have to do to the small map i don't see anything else.
the gameplay is set the theme is set the graphics will be. all that's left is the xml. i've started it and i hope i 1 or 2 days i'll be able to put up some army numbers tests.

PS: if you're done with nagging me here go over to gimil's feudal wars.

I have started, but he is nowhere near as fun as you, he does not reply soon after and update soon after that

DiM...a couple of observations if i may...

1. I think both large and small versions are very well executed.

2. I have no problems with the small version as far as text legibility goes (others may have but i think it is clear)
3. the text is clear on the small legend and very legible
3. I assume the shields is where the army numbers will be placed and have done some small testing with a manual placement of 88s....
a. they are reasonably clear and visible against the background colours and shields;
b. if possible can you move either qasr or wun shield up or down so they won't conflict with each other;
c. i had some confusion with determining where the name was for the tert under Ju (but there was none)...the road there made me think that was another tert for Ju with no number and nu name for the shield....can you adjust that

Good work....you're all clear with me.

ow does this map work: Does each person start with a castle or is it regular? Hope it's the first BTW

all the terits except for the castles will start as neutral.
so in a 2p game each person starts with 2 castles and 2 are neutral
in 3p each gets 2 castles no neutrals
4p 1 castle each and 2 neutrals
5p 1 castle each and 1 neutral
6p 1 castle each.

DONE:
* moved army shields as requested by telvannia and cairnswk
* made both large and small at the same luminosity.

TO-DO:

NOTES:
* in this version i put army testing results. i want to get feedback on visibility and stuff. i know they aren't aligned perfectly but that will be done at a later stage.

V23 Small

V23 Large

Test Large:

Test Small:

pretty good, before finish the XML i have more shield i think could do with moving:

Large

Top right island
Dru right
Lig left

Top left island
Qy left
Chu down
Bef left
bakery up left
Sler right
Ost up right
Lof right
Voigth up

Sanctuary island
Arg'h left

Bottom central island
fine

Bottom right island
can you move Ghyr castle and shield left?
Iff up
iron up
Roa up
Rigor right
Haet down
Urt up right
coin down
Zlar right.

Thats large done,

my eyes are probably injured from staring at the map now, give me a bit and i will be back with the small changes, but they should be nearly the same as the large.
