I applaud the decision of including Corsica in an inset.

Hope to see it there in your next update.

love the board.

Could you make the continents be more stand out but other than that all you need is what you have suggested

The mountains stand out so much from the rest of the map...any way to make them blend more?

Yes.
Make the borders black.
It would look a lot better.

I think I would need to see it first. I like the borders as they are now anyway.

Please, no ! Stop it !
It's unbearable. I'm sorry, I don't want to offense the mappers here, but please, no ! No ! No ! No ! No !
Too many things to modify to make this map look like a real map of France.
I'm really sorry to disagree, but I couldn't bear it any longer.

I don't understand, this was taken from a map of the original provinces of france... Most other people from france to visit this thread haven't said much about it not looking like a real map of france. I could fix specific things if you are that worried about it..

Yeah, I really like the textures I have chosen and unless alot of people object they will stay. Smooth would be more lack of texture anyways

the mountains are too thick... maybe make the mountain range thinner

That is a good plan

Current to do list:

Thin mountain range.
Give options on border colors.
Add Fonts
Add numbers for preview without army shadows.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 6:32 am

What I did:

Added a title(i'm not completely satisfied what do you guys think?)
Thinned the Mt. Range
Added font options.. which do you like best.
Border Color Black, tell me which you prefer between the ones i've shown you. White off white or black.

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 7:35 am

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 2:53 pm

1 vote for white borders.

0 votes for black borders.

0 votes for off white borders.

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:19 pm

I vote white...but both versions seem to have pixelated borders

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:32 pm

I don't see where you mean they are pixelated.

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:45 pm

by pixalated he means they look rather square at bits and dont really flow the way there suppose to

Bad Speler · Post by **Bad Speler** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:47 pm

Yes, thats what I meant...they are jagged...I've cicrled a couple of examples.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:52 pm

Anyone know how to remedy this?

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:53 pm

if your using photoshop make sure you use a circle shape brush (not pencil tool) and take your time round the boarders

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:56 pm

When I use a circle not pencil it is in consistant and makes the borders thicker in some places than others.

It's a double edge sword.

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:03 pm

well it shouldnt work like that:\

post a draft adn let me see. i can them comment better

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Wed Jul 25, 2007 6:21 pm

Also what do you guys think about the title, and which font are you guys liking better?

Well I've decided on the font but which text treatment.
