Conquer Club

I've had this done for about a week, but I have been realy busy/tired so I haven't posted it. I changed stuff 'n things, but I dunno what.

You've fixed some spelling problems indeed. But not all of them: the provinces still need work, aswell as Luxembourg (in French) or Luxemburg (in Dutch), the tiny country to the Southeast of Belgium. Also, boarder should be border!

The font you're using now looks quite nice. But sometimes the bottom seems to be cut off... Why's that?
Also, the "i" sometimes looks more like an "l". I don't know what you could do about that.

On gameplay: it's still extremely open... I'd be amazed if anyone ever held more than Limburg without having won the game (well, so to speak).

I have noticed all of those points exept for the spelling, but I am not sure how to solve them. THe font was sort of odd, but I couldn't change that, and the 'i's do look like 'l's so I didnincrease the font size, but mabey it neds another point up. For the GP concerns, I will try tho think of something.

The text is placed in a sort of box, you can use this box like a selection, so simply increase the dimension clicking on the border and increase it till all the text will be visible.
About "l" and "i ...you can change the text, why not?

Graphics:

1) i have a hard time reading the terr. font. Sorry. it's almost like its too bold or something, maybe italicize it or something.
2) The blue river impassable is hard to see against the blue southern bonus area.
3) The nonplayable area seems a little too in contrast with the playable map... maybe darken it some?
4) I'd suggest putting a label on the Brussel's inset or a box or something. Its kind of drifting over there.
5) Bonus areas, yellow, red, green and gray look like they could use some more highlights or just be a little less desaturated.
6) I like the title, but for some reason it seems fuzzy... might be the bg or just the file used.
7) You've got a lot of fonts in action here. The skinny one, skinny one italicized, terr. font, title font... i presume that the bonus font is the same as the terr. font. I think you might benefit from knocking it down to two fonts total.

Gameplay

1) The two big yellow provinces have a giant river between them and then a bridge... seems like the river between those two is unneeded.
2) The link between pink and orange terrs. seems also uneccessary
3) the river between blue and red terrs. seems out of place. It doesnt strike me as likely that a river exists there... perhaps change the graphic there? If not extend the river more (assuming there is one)
4) I think you have too many territories in some of the bonus areas. Orange and Green could afford to lose one terr., i think. Maybe merge the lowest blue one into another terr.? Pink has quite a few, but seems good.
5) I also think that some of the bonus regions could be grouped as well. Purple and gray, maybe? Yellow and blue or red and blue? I think in the case of this map, at this point, less might be more.

Anyway, hope that helps.

it's been more than one month since an update, so this one is taking a (hopefully short) trip to the recycling bin. when u're ready to continue, prepare an update and pm one of the foundry mods.

This is looking pretty good. It should be continued.
