It's been a while since I've looked at this. It's looking very nice!

The map is based on the subway (metro :D) of Paris. Unless you are English, than it is based on the underground :lol: :lol: :lol: That is why it is not a unique look-and-feel. It was based on a map to serve the whole public. The young look is on purpose.

Is there something we can adjust, to make as many friends as possible? I don't think the goal is to get all people happy, but hé.... it's worth a try....

Are we at Graphics?

Would it be possible to put a highlight behind the lines to show where the bonus' switch? Keeping track of bonus' looks like it will be a pain in the arse.

This is really coming along nicely, guys! As said before, we do need a Paris map, and this will fit that niche nicely. Keep up the good work!

Love the looks.

The large map is beautiful. But the small feels very cluttered in comparison. Any way to fix that or it that just how it's going to be?

No, in the next release it is fixed. In this release not all fonts are displayed correct and the legend is somewhat printed together. I will fix it....

I just heard we're now live on the beta-website. Should make it easier to scrutinize the gameplay.

It looks awesome. Hopefully it has an awesome gameplay as well. This map almost makes me want to join the Beta-testers.

Keep the good shit coming, mates!

I just went through the last two pages of this thread, having never taken a serious look before, and the progress made on this map is very impressive. Good work! One thing that instantly catches my eye is that the boldness of the text in the legend makes spacing quite tight and a little cluttered - could it be smaller or not as bold?

On the beta site, the XML display of text seems very off. Every number is 20 or so pixels above where it should be. And somehow in the large (not small) map, Duroc is on top of Concorde!

Looking good here guys.

Gameplay -

On some of the lines there are regions which aren't a part of the bonus in that colour. Is this intentional?
eg. if you look at the purple 7 line, the Louvre region doesn't appear in either bonus even though it's coloured purple.

Also on purple 7, is Villejuif required for M.Ivry-Juss?

Haven't tried this on the beta site yet, but have you thought about certain regions being hardcoded neutral?
The autodeploys are obvious ones, but also for some of the smaller bonuses? To prevent lucky drops where you start with a whole bonus.


Graphics -

We'll mostly get to this bit later I guess. But important to me is making the actual rail lines look nice and interesting.
If you haven't already, I'd suggest going over them with a Path tool, which will later make it easier to modify an entire line and add rail textures or whatnot.

There seems to be an XML bug: G.Nord looks like a two-way attack with Sta., but in fact only Sta. seems able to attack G.Nord, not vice versa.

Only 15 months. :arrow:

Shrug. I just noticed it in a game I'm playing on the beta site.

It's not loading for me with Panel Interface on the beta site. Loads with PI turned off.
