london map NEW POLL - CENTRAL LONDON/NORMAL (V4 P1)

[t-o-m]

sorry t-o-m, i don't like it at all. it does not seem to capture the flavour of that great city.

thats ok, i dont really mind, yeah we'll have to find a way of making it capture the essence of the city,
the colours dont really help!

[bryguy]

pretty good start, but here are some suggestions



The bridges look crappy, could u make them look better?
You dont say how the airports connect to territories, could u clear that up? cause otherwise u have it sounding like they connect to EVERY territory
You could probably lower the height by a good 50 pixels, cause those 50 pixels are basically unused space
Maybe try a solid color with things like big ben in the background? or if not, then maybe blend the images together?
The bonus' look a little high for some places, like the yellow continent, maybe change it to a 3?
Also, could you remove the territory lines from the thingy showing what continent has how many?

thats all i can see for now

on to-do

theres a poll, if people want them to either - link to other airports, or have an ability to bombard other airports,
i think link is best,

You could probably lower the height by a good 50 pixels, cause those 50 pixels are basically unused space

yeah, minor problem, easily fixed

maybe blend the images together?

i blended the bottom 2 pics, and planning on blending the london eye pic with the others,

Maybe try a solid color with things like big ben in the background?

how do you mean, i used a "screen" layer on top of the picture layer and set the transparency high, i can always alter that,
but are you say that i should not fade the pictures?

on the to-do

Also, could you remove the territory lines from the thingy showing what continent has how many?

i will add that to the to-do

thanks for the suggs and comments

Continent Names

what do people think of these cont names:

Orange cont. ---------West
Green cont. ----------North
Yellow cont. ----------North-East
Red cont. -------------South-East
Bluey purple cont. ----South

those names are boring, thats why i left them out

[greenoaks]

those names don't do anything for me, is that what londoners refer to those areas as ?

what about if instead of doing all of london you did central london, central london map.
put in the parks, major railway stations, specialist centres such as 'the city' or trafalgar square and of course the river thames.

zone 1 of the underground

they're the names of london boroughs

it's educational...

[t-o-m]

maybe have that made bigger, like on the iraq map with bagdad

[greenoaks]

ask people anywhere in the world to name places in london and they won't name the places on that map. they will however say things like westminster, waterloo, hyde park, kings cross station (and many others from monopoly) & the city (financial types might name that first). it is the inner city, the traditional city, that we think of.

[t-o-m]

(and many others from monopoly)

i actually laughed when i got that PM off you coz i was just thinking that youve probably been playing monopoly,
i dont want to steriotype london too much - if you know what i mean

i suppose its 'coz me and kemmler live in englnad - kemmler in london, me not in london, visit a lot, but i dont think that that crossed our mind..because we wouldnt really think of that, we've heard of those places, but thats because we live in england (what i said before)

im not acctually sure if other people from england o the UK will have heard of them though,

i think your idea is good, i'll try and develop that

Being from Hillingdon I would feel insulted if a london map didnt have hillingon on it. Like it though

[what,me worry?]

For the love of God can we please have a map that comes out without a complicated sub system, or a loopy railway, or any crazy "ability" maps. What happened to coming out with maps where you you dont have to squinch your eyes to read all the instructions or dont want to play in the first place because of its complexity. Theres something to be said about simplicity like the original maps on CC we have all come to love

so are you saying that my map is simple?
in some regions of england, simple means retarded, are you calling mine and kemmler's map retarded?
lol

Don't forget Big Ben!!

[t-o-m]

Don't forget Big Ben!!

bottom right!

[edbeard]

I think a city map needs to capture the spirit of the city moreso than just a regular geographical map. Right now it doesn't have that.

maybe put landmarks up? I'm not sure if theres space for that.


I like the straightforward gameplay though.

[RjBeals]

I guess you're referring to the airports & the bombardments? I kind of agree with you, and don't think on a map this small we need those gimmicks. I think if this map gets the graphic touches it needs, it could be one of the greats on the site. I think most players prefer straightforward gameplay.

On the map not background

exactly my feeling.

I can't stand any maps with special rules, that's why we want a nice and simple london map. airports is a far as it'll go.

well i like the map. Its easy to distinguish between continents and is fairly simple gameplay-wise. The only reason I wouldnt play it is if we (hillingdon) werent on it

greenoaks thinks that it would be better having a map of central london, with tourist attractions that people know

[Kemmler]

we're not changing the map. The only thing we could do is make this the greater london map and have london city map too

[cena-rules]

works too
