Spockers has a point though. Why do you continue to bump the thread if there is no interest in the map?

brilliante suggestion again done by keyogi . way to go on encouraging new map makers.

lets get down with bussiness now:
1. the colors are too bright, lower them down
2. the territories are too round try making them a little more square shape, but not identical
3. the "islands" in the water are quite small, make them a little bigger, you have to manage to the circles in.
4. think of a theme for your map, you have to name the territories also

work on this and then retry bumping you map

Yep - all good but I would also like to know in more detail what it is a map of

[edocsil]

its a fictional map so it gives me more freedom and the names and all r the next thing im working on the colors r no problem ill mute them

[edocsil]

next up on the update list r the mountains and rivers i would aprectiate some advice or help

[edocsil]

do i have to draw in the unit circles myself or do they get added when i do the xml stuff. if i have to put them in myself how many pixels across are they?

[edocsil]

did a small update added unit circles and a bridge did a border clean up

[riggable]

change the colors, they are the biggest drawback of you map right now

[edocsil]

what is your opinion paler yet?

[KEYOGI]

I'd seriously just give up on this idea. It has no appeal and very little interest from the community.

[Spockers]

also, it looks bloody awful

[edocsil]

also, it looks bloody awful

ya mind telling me why it looks so awful so i can fix it?

[Steel Panzer]

to make the map more apealling to the community try maikng up a story for it. and try working on the colors they are still not looking very attractive

[Spockers]

ed, put it next to any other map out there and have a look at the difference in quality.

[edocsil]

Spockers ur right compared to most of them it isnt very good yet. I still have a ways to go and that is why im looking for feedback

[The Fuzzy Pengui]

i think the country names need a little work. just for clarity. i think that they are just a little to muted, and if they were a little bit bolder or darker/brigher it might help out. other than that, i think it looks great other than that!

ya it looked fine untill I uploaded it ill fix that, ty for the info.

[edocsil]

it seems that the looks of the map in general are the bigest problem
there are a few thigs i can do for this

- remove darker borders
- add a brown "wash" to it (not well don i would make it browner)
- redo the borders and make it like the middle east map (not shown)



what should i do?

[KEYOGI]

what should i do?

Seriously, just let it go. I know you're trying hard, but find a new map with some appeal and go with that instead.

[Wisse]

if you are going to do this map then i have a few things:
1. make fonts bigger and more readable
2. make the country shapes less edgy
3. use anather effect then this one for countries, try some textures
4. w8 with bridges etc. till your map is more ready
