if he changes the colours to yellow. that means he will have to change the font colour to blak, and hes already stated that he wonts the writing the same.
maybe N.china(pink bit) to dark red. that mite be better

i do agree though that it is a lot of red...
I also wanted the two chinas to be versions of the same type of color because it can be combined to a double continent (same with korea)

Too bad we already have a far east map and the japan map has been in final forge state for decades.
No worries though, this map falls just between the two areas (in terms of zoom levels) and it looks good so I can't complain.
update 3.5

The only problem I can see is that you basically have two groups of similar continents. China is divided up into one of 10 and one of 9, both with four borders and a bonus of 6. Korea has one of 4 and one of 5, both with two borders and similar bonus.
Maybe more sea routes could be added to increase borders and vary gameplay a bit more. Great work though.

goooood point. i kinda like how the koreas are equal, but i think there needs to be more variation on the two chinas definetly.
maybe i should convert two of one of the chinas to the other, and make one china a 7 bonus and one a 5 bonus?
maybe add a link between liaoning and qingdao?

add a texture to territories perhaps.

if u make China into 1, i dont think it should be +7.
+ 10 possible, coz it will be so hard to get and defend
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 4:50 pm
by johloh
no china will still be two parts, just not two equal parts.
one part will have 12 zones, and one would have 8 zones. instead of 10 and 10.

Munchura should be increased by 3 terras, increase the bonue by 1.
Fukien decreased by 3, decrease bonus by 1

i think there are too many big continents. its like on classic there is asia but on here there are 3 MASSIVE continents. basically whoever gets 1 of the small conts will win coz the others won't b able to a grip anywhere although its gd how the 2 small conts r really far apart attack wise

I like the new verison, except the continents.... They have no texture like the first one which i think looks better. I like the new sea routes though. Good job so far.

do you mean the sort of 3d look to each area? I can do that easily.

same colours, but a bit more textured. then it should be perfect

I like the idea you have for China, but see if you can make it so you increase one's borders over the others.
You also only have five continents, what about dividing Japan also?

i think what people are missing from the recent version is trhe 3D effect on the land masses. i like the playability because it is different, having the same map with the same tactics annoys me i like having different ones and this is very good the two bes players could have a small continent each and not attack eac other till the end. Marvelous. Anywho with the 3D effect back this map is developing a lot quicker than other maps and i like it a lot. Although it will still need some work.
Make your signature more exciting it is boring compared to the map.
attempt 4.0

-added 3d land masses
-manchura now 13 areas and a 7 bonus
-fukien now 7 areas and a 5 bonus

Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 5:27 pm
by johloh
any suggestions on how to split japan?
should i make it another bonus for holding all of japan like the other two?
maybe make fuku/naga/tusa/yama one? and the rest the other?
