(a) he's using Photoshop
(b) apparently, he used 'opacity' (?)

I agree whole-heartedly with you, lgoas

[sailorseal]

I also agree and thanks for the tips

If he's using photoshop he's pretty much going to have to start over. As stands the map is too small (see [url="How to Make aM ap Handbook"]http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=40463[/url] for sizes/requirements on making a map.

I know you've put a lot of work into it thus far but if you're using photoshop you're going to lose quality (I would imagine at least, that you haven't changed the res off the default 76 or whatever it is). Therefore, starting over with the required sizes would help. Also, it would give you space for a title/key etc...

And opacity should make a layer less visible, not blurry like that. Unless there's some opacityesque filter thing I'm unsure of.

Hmm … well I (as well as Oaktown, gimil, rjbeals, and others I'm sure) use Photoshop and don't find the quality an issue at all. i usually use about 300p/i.

And I'm just as clueless as you are about the opacity thing. Makes no sense.

Photoshop itself has nothing to do with the quality of that image.

I honestly want to know where the blur came from. I would assume it's him blowing up the image to make it larger. Otherwise I don't see why someone would intentionally do that to a map- it makes it look sloppy.

Well you don't know sailorseal like I do (classmate btw) …

[sailorseal]

I was trying to soften it

[LED ZEPPELINER]

I was trying to soften it

it hurts ur eyes and makes you feel a little crazy, wondering if it is actaully blurry or if ur eyes are just screwed up

[JweezyIII]

I would recommend some nautical ornament such as a compass rose.

[sailorseal]

Good idea my new version is coming soon!

(Blur is gone...)

[LED ZEPPELINER]

hurrray the blur is gone

[sailorseal]

I will also use a nautical compass and everyone vote in my poll!
I can't put a new version up until i get results

[sailorseal]

In my newest version I have Shelter Island named

[sailorseal]

I am having trouble creating a poll so just post a reply and tell me what flags you would like to see added

[LED ZEPPELINER]

i still feel that ur graphics need to be improved...a lot

[el-presidente]

i still feel that ur graphics need to be improved...a lot

I second that.

[LED ZEPPELINER]

i would also advize you that your one way borders should all look the same, and not be lop sided and crooked

Is this your latest version?


If so, then you've still got a lot of work to be getting on with... I know nothing about the geography/history the map refers to, and there is nothing there that helps me to identify with it... add that to the blurry feeling that makes me start to wonder where I've left my glasses, and you've lost my attention.

From a gameplay point of view, I think the map is too small to be of any significance. Is there any specific reason for the one-way borders?

[LED ZEPPELINER]

The fact that you have boats throughout the whole map, may offend the people who do not sail (i am almost positive that there is at least 1 person you does not).

[sailorseal]

Most people there can either sail or pay people to sail for them.

My one ways were to compensate for the low number of territs. Also my newest version (coming out around Monday) will fix most of these problems or at least try and fix them.

i can also see that you copied the pics of the sailboats, cus there is a rectangle around them, i would advise getting rid of that detail, and i don't get what the dots next to the boats

[sailorseal]

The dot tells you which boat it is and I have already gotten rid of squares in my newest version thanks!
