Map Is Good ... But I hate the Font... To Hard To Read

[Molacole]

the heart of your map has a bonus with 15 territories and 9 borders... I think it's wasted space and those territories should be put to better use.

It is like asia on the classic map, is that a waste of space?

Asia on the classic does have a 5 border 12 territory bonus, but it's not in the middle of the map. It's off to the side and there isn't any point to travel through it unless you're going for oceana. You have 9 bordersand 15 territories so that's not the best comparison.

I just think 9 borders and 15 territories for a bonus is a little over kill for the center of the map. Nobody will ever hold it and it looks like a filler for your map instead of having a tactical purpose. It could easily be split into two bonuses and be balanced. It's your map so what you do with it is all up to you. I'm not interested in debating it any further I'm just trying to give you a heads up...

I can't read the bonuses graphic very well

I will define it better when i get back home for school and i will give everyone a update.

Also, does it still run true that Roke can be attacked into but not out of? If so, it needs to be stated somewhere on the map and I think it is a good idea cos otherwise the green continent has simply too many borders.

I will state that under the bonus compass.

But I hate the Font... To Hard To Read

I personally like the font, and im able to read it well, i will wait and see what people think of this font i have now.

Update


I changed the bonuses font, and added the bit about roke.
as always any comments accepted

Attempt at Textures.



I have attempted to put a texture on the green continent, tell me what you think of it. (The other territory names are still there just hidden)

That's how it was for the font on my map. I could read it perfectly, but no one else could, so it needed to be changed. I would try another font, it's a little hard to read.

[RobinJ]

Starting to look like a CC map. Hope you don't have difficulties with the sea - there's a hell of a lot of it to try to make look textured

[Telvannia]

I would but it would take me ages to change the font again, i dont have the time right now. So i will see how many other complaints about the font i get.

I got some comments back at the beginning saying that sea is fine how it is, i will focus on the land for now then move onto the sea.

I agree: that font definitely needs to be changed to something easier to read...something less cursive I would suggest, although I think the feel of the map needs something fluid not chunky.

I like the texture on the green that you have, but would also suggest you need to re-do your legend/bonus area: Seems 'out of focus' to me.

IMO, leave the sea lines as they generally are; fluid and simple, to match a modified font.

I will look into a new font, see what i can find

yeah it is beacuse i had to make my orginal bonus thing smaller, so i will redraw at the right size to start with

Yeah i think that too, no need for anything too fancy.

[Telvannia]

does anyone have any opinions about this map?

i cant improve it if i dont how to improve it, so some tell me how to improve it.

[RobinJ]

To be honest, I'm not sure if there is enough interest in this map cos it is only myself and a few other posters keeping it alive. I like it but I can't see it moving forward unless some more people get interested in it

[haoala]

honestly i think you should change the font in the legend area; its really unreadable

and robin i think there are many more people who have interest in this map; just wait and see

I hope more people will become interested in it or as you say this will go nowhere fast.

[Telvannia]

[HighCommander540]

[Telvannia]
