I applaud the decision of including Corsica in an inset.

Hope to see it there in your next update.

love the board.

Could you make the continents be more stand out but other than that all you need is what you have suggested

by **thegeneralpublic** on Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:34 pm

The mountains stand out so much from the rest of the map...any way to make them blend more?

Yes.
Make the borders black.
It would look a lot better.

I think I would need to see it first. I like the borders as they are now anyway.

Please, no ! Stop it !
It's unbearable. I'm sorry, I don't want to offense the mappers here, but please, no ! No ! No ! No ! No !
Too many things to modify to make this map look like a real map of France.
I'm really sorry to disagree, but I couldn't bear it any longer.

I don't understand, this was taken from a map of the original provinces of france... Most other people from france to visit this thread haven't said much about it not looking like a real map of france. I could fix specific things if you are that worried about it..

Yeah, I really like the textures I have chosen and unless alot of people object they will stay. Smooth would be more lack of texture anyways :roll:

I'm going to make it black and i'll give the option and we'll see which is liked better.

the mountains are too thick... maybe make the mountain range thinner

Current to do list:

Thin mountain range.
Give options on border colors.
Add Fonts
Add numbers for preview without army shadows.

What I did:

Added a title(i'm not completely satisfied what do you guys think?)
Thinned the Mt. Range
Added font options.. which do you like best.

I vote white...but both versions seem to have pixelated borders

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:32 pm

I don't see where you mean they are pixelated.

by **gimil** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:45 pm

by pixalated he means they look rather square at bits and dont really flow the way there suppose to

Website · by **Bad Speler** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:47 pm

Yes, thats what I meant...they are jagged...I've cicrled a couple of examples.

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:52 pm

Anyone know how to remedy this?

by **gimil** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:53 pm

if your using photoshop make sure you use a circle shape brush (not pencil tool) and take your time round the boarders

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:56 pm

When I use a circle not pencil it is in consistant and makes the borders thicker in some places than others.

It's a double edge sword.

by **gimil** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 4:03 pm

well it shouldnt work like that:\

post a draft adn let me see. i can them comment better

by **reverend_kyle** on Wed Jul 25, 2007 6:21 pm

Also what do you guys think about the title, and which font are you guys liking better?

Well I've decided on the font but which text treatment.
