tman - I think the tunnels idea is an interesting idea, but it's not something I see for this particular map though.

Maybe you could consider creatin gyour own map with it. Could work really well if you planned it from scratch!

Marv - in that map there's 20 countries. But it's a concept more than anything else. I can easily bump up the number of towers, attackers, as wel as the buildings inside the baileys very easily to make it a higher number.

Some good suggestions folks - I especially think the one-way attacks seem good! Keep em coming.

Hi Guys,

I've been working on a concept for a new map. Here's a sketch of the idea:

http://www.multiblah.com/stuff/castlemaprough_v1.jpg

Territories:
North Towers (3 towers)
South Towers (3 towers)
Gatehouse (3 towers)
Attackers (4 tents/encampments)
Inner Bailey ...

Unfortunately though, I still don't think it will uncover the main problem with the CC dice. I bet in the long run the # of 1's and 6's thrown will all even out. It's just that in the short run you have days of really good attacks and times of terrible attacks. It's not that the different numbers ...

The image links seem to be gone now. Is there a copy up anywhere?

Honestly, this map needs a lot more work to make it usable. I think you need to try find someone who can help you with the graphics.

Speaking of 1800s london. A historical map of london could be an interesing concept to think about.

What software areyou using, as always I advocate using a vector graphics application to avoid the harsh jaggy edges.

Wow - that's amazing. Great stuff!

I think this would help un-organized teams become more organized and level the playing field a bit.

That's exactly my thinking. It's almost impossible to beat a team organised with messenger. THis might level that out a bit. I'm always wary of playing team games, but they're great fun with a bit ...

Yea, it's possible.

I didn't see it mentioned on the main list as to do or rejected though:

I know there's a million suggestions but i'll throw this one in because it'd be handy too.

It would be handy if there was a way to send a message just to your team mates(s) in the chat window. It would be an easy way to co-ordinate team games without messing around with PMing or instant messaging ...

Being a boy, I hate it when I am the last person to join a game and I am pink.

Are you seriously worried about your colour being pink? That's the kind of thing an 8 year old gives out about.

EDIT: I just looked at your web site. If you're man enough to boast about choreographing dance moves ...

You sure are impatient aren't you. I haven't done any further work on it. The work that actualy pays comes first I'm afraid!

The best thing is to do is not sign up to games before you're going on holiday.

If you really need to feed your addiction just play freestyle, escalatin, as they usually only last about 3-4 days.

So if i have windows and no money to buy programs i cant anti-alliase?

I'm sure there's tons of vector apps that do it, they're just not as good as commercial apps.

If you use a free application like paint.net or GIMP and actually 'paint' your map as if you were using oil paints you won't ...

Yeah, but I cant do it manually and I dont know how to do in these editors. I will try, but I will probably fail.

Yea, you'd probbaly need to start again really, and that's not worth it.

If Inksacape for Windows ever matures enough I might see about putting otgether a tutorial for it to help ...

I will maintain the legend centralized, I cant see any difficulty. But if you see, dont worry. We all memorize the bonuses of the maps we like and rarely read the legend
Well, it's not like your trying to read a book with it or anything, but it would just look a bit more professional with it left ...

I like the ledgend as is (centred and big)

People often say that, but it's proven to be wrong. Big is fine, but ,multi-line centered text is very hard for the eyes to read. It's not something you ever see in professional work.

KevinC, I use GIMP, nd was having the problem of jagged edges, i ...

You need to either left align or right align the legend. Having it centered like that is very difficult to read, and looks awkward.

I agree with gavin, you really need to learn to use another program with proper anti-aliasing. This looks like a great map, and it would be much better without the ...

"Great Britain, United Kingdom, its all the same. I hate how the world has different names for things. Its BS."

No, no it's not.

I also hate the way the world is inconvienient and won't fit into a nice little box for me.



To the original poster. It's not all that weird. I wouldn't ...

I am appalled that someone would worry about this.

Go to your downtown area and find some homeless guy sleeping on a bench. Hand him an apple, a bottle of water, or maybe a job application.

Find something more important to be embarrassed about than the percentage of people who know the capital of ...

The Europe map is one of the best. It's a bit inappropriate to redo it.

Is there any way you could make it thinner? i usually have it "always on top" and now that microsoft have made there IE 7 and other microsoft office 2007 toolbars thinner it infringes on my work space. For the next update could you also allow it to minimise?

You can minimize it now, just not ...

Cause it's smaller, and it was better to have no border and a larger game area so everything's clearer.
