Yeah, I was thinking that the wall would be a one way attack route as well.

Look at this map to appreciate just how much detail would be involved (I do appreciate how much detail we can lose from hat map and still have a good playable design though).

It lends itself well to continents as ...

Shrinking the North, I suppose if you only went down as far as Winterfell and ignored the wall maybe you could maybe make it fit.

Would there be a way to put the North and South side by side but have the routes between them obvious, without it being confusing or looking stupid.

How about a map of Westeros from "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R. R. Martin.
Lots of possibilities for that idea. Here is a link to some colored maps already put together. thegraveyard.org/daelstorm/other.php

I was thinking about this a lot recently.

I think the main problem ...

Change the keys around so that the resource/products key is next to the illustrations.

Don't see the need for the word miscellaneous in there either, get rid of it.

Yeah the ideas good, I'm not sure if it's going to be any more or less confusing to people though.

I disagree

Yeah I think it's best to keep it as simple as possible.

Sounds good to me

- I don't really understand the Allied/Enemy system. If I hold Prosperity, Mandate and Fact I get +3? If I hold Demise, Mandate and Charity I get -1? Or is Mandate not part of the Enemy mix because of the "2 Enemy symbols" part?

The symbols on either side of a symbol are the enemy symbols to ...

I prefer the shell in Rompas, but a little smaller perhaps.

Agree with trying out different shell icons actually.

DiM, you're not only doing a fine job with the visuals & concept, but also managing to implement ideas from the forum with icredible speed... smart!

I concur - your turn around is pretty swift...


I agree, just mention a change and an hour later BAM, it's done. I'm really liking the new stuff ...

Yeah, I think those new images are both more in keeping with the theme.

You forgot to change the Puerto Modesto anchor.

I'm liking this more and more with each update.

Also try out the anchor so it's filled in and just just an outine of an anchor, I think it will look a lot better.

Yeah the market icon issue wasn't that it was hard to see or hard to work out what it was from the legend, just that I couldn't tell even slightly what it actually was.

Sorry for ...

Are there any other market icons that could be used, it's not that that one is hard to see, I just have no idea what it's meant to be. I kind of want to suggest using a pound or dollar sign but that would seem out of place, maybe a gold doubloon or something.

I agree with this, make it as clear as the alligator one is.

I'm really looking forward o playing it, I got a premium account just so I could be sure of playing it as soon as it's made available.

maybe do it for the next poll, if the two maps are side by side hopefully everyone will see how much better the icons are without colours.

I'm so confused

I still say take the colours away from the icons, it looks so much better without them and the colour outlines on them really doesn't add anything.

Except for possibly the treasure icons, I prefer them with colour.

I like the changes you've made since yesterday, good stuff.

I do prefer that, although you should probably get feedback from someone who isn't me if you can otherwise you'll just end up doing it how I want it, which probably won't coincide with anyone elses opinions.

Now I think where possible you should move the icons out from under the country names ...

Not sure if I can put my finger exactly on it, I think it's just that it's too busy and cluttered. I'd say try making the icons a little smaller perhaps, or taking a few of them out. Maybe mess around with a few different icon designs.

Just so I'm not completely negative, I like the new fonts.

I like the idea of the map, just not that keen on the look so much.

Good job, I like it

I preferred the original layout too
