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

[lozzini]

i really like the look of this map... but i think some extra territs are need round the outside... and maybe a few 2-3 bonus continents for easy grabbability.

Also looks like it would be a good game

keep it up

[t-o-m]

i think i would like this map on a speed game, not many players though

i dont really know what you mean by more conts were trying to make it a small map

and simple

yeah, we don't want easy grab conts since they tend to ruin the game often. for instance in no cards games the whole point is to capture auss or s america basically

thanks
lol made me happy

[Kemmler]

thanks cena. they still fall outside of our london map tho

[Ogrecrusher]

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

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.

QFT

Where is the no airports option?

[t-o-m]

ok i didnt think of that, just say no airports and i'll put something in the original thread

[t-o-m]

people bad news ive dropped down to a cook from a private

[/threadjack]

[cena-rules]

now your a corporal

update please

[t-o-m]

now your a corporal

oh yeah loll

update please

update of the map?

ok, i havnt done v much work since i pmed you,
i'll do some now and pm you when its out

[jiminski]

Sorry, i do not mean to be disruptive but maybe you could have a 'Tunnel'?
Rotherhide for example, in Southwark to north of the river?

And then, just as a little different feature, it could be under 'perpetual Fog' not even visible to those adjacent, just the two territories either side.

anyway I like the map so far mate.

New Update, See Page 1

version 4

[Kemmler]

I like the updates... but still the bonuses need to be thought through lol. Yellow had to hold 4 terits for only 2 armies.

[t-o-m]

well we'll come to that once we get the idea passed badge,
then we'll deal with it when were trying for the gameplay passed badge,

but suggestions from people would be good...hint hint

Hi, just keeping a beady eye on the development of your London map, and have the following observations/thoughts:

1) What geography are you trying to represent? At the moment, you've got a hotch-potch of boroughs and amalgamated areas which, to my eye, looks a bit wrong.

2) If you're going to include London airports, then you need to put them in the right place - you can't just scatter them at random.

3) I like your background images, but the actual playable area doesn't gel with it at all; you need to find a way to make it all knit together. In addition to this, your continent labels are glaringly bright, and look out of place.

Apologies if this sounds a little negative; I'm just giving my opinion

[MrBenn]

As an aside, it's helpful to post your updaetd image in the thread as well as on the 1st post, so people can see which comments relate to which update without flicking to and fro

the map is of the london boroughs

the airports are in as close to the right place as they are going to get: see my airports post

yeah, we need to put textures and things on - hopefully then it will look better

lol i know!! haha they look really bad, but i did that in 5 seconds because people were confused at the cont names and things, but thats going to be fixed

Apologies if this sounds a little negative; I'm just giving my opinion

i think i would rather people give critisism than just say "lookin good " or "keep up the good work " or "nah crap"
so thanks Mr.Benn

and btw i hate the cont names aswel

[casper]

Maps seems to small to me.... Needs more territories! I haven't been to London in a while but this doesn't seem very accurate as far as names go. e.g. Camden

My response to your response...

Hi, just keeping a beady eye on the development of your London map, and have the following observations/thoughts:

the map is of the london boroughs
In which case, you've missed a load out - mostly central London ones like "Kensington & Chelsea", for example.

2) If you're going to include London airports, then you need to put them in the right place - you can't just scatter them at random.
the airports are in as close to the right place as they are going to get: see my airports post
When I read this post last night I don't remember any discussion about airport locations, other than a map, which clearly showed the locations of Heathrow, London City Airport (inside London), and Gatwick (outside). Heathrow airport is right at the bottom of Hillingdon. There are no airports in Sutton or Havering that I know of... If you are going to have them, I still think you need to put them in the right place, or as near as possible. Gatwick is nearer Croydon than Sutton - straight down the A23/M23. London City Airport is more central, and right on the river (can't remember borough name off the top of my head).
