there are a few coords that aren't centered.

large: port townsend; granite falls; hood canal;
small: everett; sky valey; edmonds; port townsend

the rest are fine.

Well, Port Townsend on the small is the same as Olympic National Forest on the small. So they both need nudged down 1?

It's looking better, Tisha.

I'd nudge 'Lacey' coordinate a little.

Also, in the legend in the top left...the numbers look rather oddly spaced. Would it be possible to make them a little more uniform in their centering/spacing?

i can't center them..sorry. i actually zoomed in a ridiculous amount and placed the size 22 army circle directly over the 88 and made the circles..like i said..three pixels on each side five on the top and bottom. and the winking doesn't make your comment any better.

tisha, they simply look as though they are mostly 1 px left and 1 px high of center...perhaps it is the army circles themselves. Sorry. Wink Wink.

this is done with every map. there's nothing going on here that doesn't happen with every map.

until it gets done, it won't (and shouldn't) be quenched.

I remember Wisse having a similar problem with his circles. Tisha you might want to talk to him.

Id hate to slow down te quenching of this map anymore but im not satisfied with the boarders. There jittery and inconsistant at parts. I would advise redoing them again with a soft round brush, zoom in close (x1200) and slowly drawing in the boarders. It takes longer but gives really good results.

no wicked the boarders arnt fine.

The red circles are representing bad boarders, the one round the river is an example of the jittereness i mentioned. The one above it is another example.

The other 2 red circles show inconsistancy with hte boarder, best seen in camano island, one coasts lines is much thicker than anothers.

The ones in yellow circles are BEAUTIFUL boarder lines, there consistant flowing and smooth.

no but it seems that the foundry has been getting lazy and laid back as of late, i dont like making big graphical suggestions at this stage of development so im offering my own spare time to help anyone who ive requested such large issues to.

no its not nitty picky, its trying to keep the same standard that has been applied to me and many others in te past.

I currently have a map in development (Feudal War) which is off much better quality than a number of maps currently in final forge. I jsut want everyone to be expected to reach the same standard when quenched.

i'll say again! nobody looks at consistency of lines when playing the maps! so your motion to change it is mute and not neccessary! if your angry that your map is not in final forge don't dump on other peoples over something that small! Palease!

I am not angry, i am simple helping to maintain the standards that the foundry has always maintained ever since i joined CC. conquerclub takes great pride in the quality of there maps both visually and gameplay wise. I am very much aware that boarder consistancy is not a big dea lwhenyour fighting, but i know many players that wouldnt play a map simple because something that wasnt athestically pleasing caught there eye.

RS your argument is totally off. there are lots of small details that no one looks at when the map is being played. This DOES NOT mean they can be substandard.

All gimil is doing is trying to make sure the map fits the standard of the foundry.

Personally, I do not see what gimil sees. I think the borders are fine (I can't see the differences you put to be honest).

I think what's important at this point is fixing the army circles and/or the centering. Whatever the problem is there that needs to be fixed.

The borders. Well other people can come in and give their opinion, but to be honest I just don't see a problem there. I have no problem with gimil giving his opinion about it. I do have a problem with the "nobody looks at this" argument. It doesn't matter how 'small' a problem is. If it's a problem , then it must be fixed. In this case, I don't think the borders are a problem.

gimil- your flag is jittery = ) I say if you're willing to do the borders-- that would be great and generous of you. If I were Tisha- I'd take you up on the offer. I personally see nothing wrong but I'm not a map guru guy......... my attack armies are jittery maybe you can help me too?


btw- Nice map Tisha ! Well done......
