Most of it is handcrafted digital graphics, but the new territory textures are obviously actual photos of Peru.

Technically speaking, only the Amazon (2 sections) and the Northern/Souther Coast (2 sections) are actual photos of Peru.

The other 4 sections, the Andes and the capital province, are ...

Thanks. I also like the line of Nazca in the south.

Okay, here's the more-recent update. I might not make another in a while (going on a short trip), but I might be able to do some of this work while on the trip.

Quick Question: What exactly do I need by now to make the idea get into the main ...

I'd make the ports belong to the coastal territories.

Thanks. I agree with you there, so now I'll go and make the legend improvements.

However, the map currently has 40 territories. For a two/three player game, each player starts off with 13 territories, which is not awful, but there's still a ...

It took me a couple of days, but I think the map looks much, much better. Well, that's just how I think....hopefully you think the same too.

I tried to take as many as the suggestions all of you gave me, but I might have ...

This would probably go better in the suggestions forum.

If you could make the map a little more wide just so that you can fully include Massachusetts, you could probably make a link between what would be Boston (a highly important U.S. port in the Atlantic at that time) and the ships.

Which gives me another idea, you could make some territories hold ...

The geographical features of your map remind me of the map I'm creating for Peru.

One of the first things I see hard about this gameplay idea is that the rivers block the purple zone from the red and green areas. Hence, I would suggest you create some bridge sort of bridge in there.


Other than ...

Alright. I posted up the improved map.

I think the idea is itself good...but might need some more support for it to get moved up.

Meanwhile, any more suggestions?


I'll be currently trying to make the terrain more attractive. I can't make the mountains any better than they are right now, but ...

My thought is how the website will handle the many maps that will eventually be made available.

I guess they'll eventually end up dividing the "Start A Game" into a series of sections: Fantasy, Real World, History (or Wars and Battles), etc.

I really like option B the most. It looks more bright and fun.

i personally don't see the need for ports... at least not that many.

I could probably do away with one of them. It would have to be either the one in La Libertad (where there's a major city bonus) or the one in Piura, in order to keep the ports (and the game) balanced.

are you using real ...

I just downloaded GIMP, and I'm currently checking out the program. It's change quite a bit since I last used it....but it's still as confusing.

I'll have to play around a tad with the program to see if I can get the hang of it.

Not bad for a first draft

Thanks. It's my first map too.

Well, not my "first" map, I've made others, but on paper, back in the day. This is my first using a computer program that's not Paint to make a map.

Make the Andes Mountains actual mountains, not just lines.

Lol. That would be ...

Mod Note: Similar Map --> http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=242&t=106051

Number of Territories: 42.

Number of Continents (Regions): 8.

The map:

Descriptions: Peru is a rather diverse nation situated in an ...

Hmm...okay. Thanks to the two of you for the comments and help. I'm currently adding the names of the provinces, but I'll post up the separate thread in some minutes.

Yes, but they're rather small. For instance, the Chincha Islands, over which a whole war was fought over between Spain vs. Peru/Chile, is smaller (or more accurately a part of) the district of the port of Callao. The port of Callao is currently a region of Peru, but it's too small for even this map ...

This is an idea I've been working on for almost a week now. The graphics are OK, at least under my opinion. They probably could be better, but I'm not good at making those nice mountains or those fancy backgrounds other boards have in the website. Nonetheless, as far as simplicity goes, it's nice ...

Seems like the little "we're not associated with" isn't enough, and the same thing that Scrabulous did.

If you come to think about it, "Scrabulous" sounds too much like Scrabble. In other words, the name was not really original.

It would be like me making a website called "Conquest Club" and ...

K. Thanks.

lol i know my attitude sucks somethime (pretty often) that why i have very low rating on it:P

Go figure.

and if you check the game log you can see that you yourself got eliminated the turn after you eliminated me,

You and red were my only targets, and you were both at a similar strength ...

The question is simple, but I haven't seen it here in the forums.

Do the maps require for there to be continents?

I don't even know what your problem is, but you make for a good way for me to laugh.

So you play a lot more games vs noobs?

I only play games every now and then. If I had been playing the quantity of my games vs. noobs I would not even be a sergeant. Of course, what other reply could I expect ...

Ratings abuse issues are still not being handled yet. An official word on them is still in the works. For now put the player on your foe list and you will not have to see his/her comments in your gamechat and they will no longer be able to join your games.

Thank you very much.

I see that he has a bunch of friends here, but that really matters very little to me.

Learn to play a better game and he might give you 2.

I don't have a ranking as high as he does, but my 51% victory clearly shows something better than his 32%, and is apparently better than anybody else who has ...

Eckoj is a fantastic player, leave him be.

He may be as fantastic as you say, but he does not know how to play a game.

A game is supposed to be enjoyed by all who play, and if he cannot leave his aggresiveness behind and play, he should not play the game. Unless he was betting money or his life ...
