MY EYES! THEY'RE BURNING OUT OF THEIR SOCKETS!

[KEYOGI]

Please keep all discussion to one thread.

[edocsil]

sorry bought that im new to this i dont know all the rules

[edocsil]

for some reason this is updating int the ideas section but i didnt put it here could someone put it back into the foundry?

[KEYOGI]

The thread has been moved to the ideas forum until you've shown that the map is in development. At the moment, all you've really shown is a very rough draft that is hard to leave any feedback on.

Make sure you read over the new Sub-Forum Organization & Other Things! announcement.

26 terits bringing that num to 30 so it works out evenly

[manoman]

Looks good, but make it a little brighter.

[edocsil]

Manoman: Looks good, but make it a little brighter.

ok did that also changed some border things and brought down the value of East Antarctica (5 to 4)

[Neutrino]

The straight edged territories look a bit unnatural and the title looks a bit out of place, but other than that, Great map.

[edocsil]

The title does make it look a little lopsided but where else could i put it?

[edocsil]

fixed the teritory lines so they wernt so blocky made they contry lines cyan and added 4 teritories

This map needs a bit of a makeover...

1) Text for the territories isn't easy enough to read and this is the large version? Also, try to get the Elisworth Mountains label straighter - vertical does not work

2) Putting the continent names on the map looks messy - just colour-code the legend - it would be much better.

3) I don't know where the Transatlantic mountains are, unless they are a part of the texture. Just put some mountain graphics in and leave a space in them where you want to make them passable (that would also allow you to remove the rather messy note in the legend)

4) The line colours are too harsh. Tone down the black to grey and also blur them a bit to remove some sharpness. The cyan doesn't look too great either unfortunately - is it necessary? Also, the lines are too straight and jagged in places - allow them to curve more so that the map is easier on the eye.

5) I see you have images in the background. You need to make them to stand out more if they are to have any value

What I do like is the texture but I'm afraid that's about it. Out of interest, what program did you use?

Anyway, there's some constructive criticism - make use of it. Also, perhaps take a look at the Arctic map - you might gain some good ideas

Thanks this is the kind of info i need i was flying blind b4

im using inkscape and it isnt so great for image editing its kinda like powerpoint but i dont know how to use any of the other recomended ones
i might go buy photoshop

this is the small one

the TA mnts r texured in here but the text covers them .......

and the borders r a piece of cake to change


ok i put in most those changes that robin sugested in v6 but left the TA mnts thing because i dont know how to make it clear with just pics

[gimil]

[Supermath]

Shouldn't the compass point north in all directions?

[edocsil]

i was thinking about it but thats only tru on the magnetic pole thatsof the eastern coast

[Balsiefen]

Very nice. You need a few more impassable borders and i'd add some clearly impassable graphics for the mountains (even if its just a thicker line)

[Diablo Returns]

make the tansartic mountains more visible

[snufkin]

loose the white pixels around the penguin head

[fohr_fun]

i think its pretty good. but Antarctica is breaking apart and falling into the ocean. i think there should be more cracks here and there. I guess your calling them transartic mtns

[edocsil]

no there is actuly a mountain range there

antarctica falling apart?? some of the iceshelfs (they r on the map) r melting but the whole place certainently isnt breaking up maybe u mean the arctic?

[edocsil]

V7 - added the mountains (thanks DiM for the help), changed the country values, made the terit text darker, fixed the penguin

[DiM]

you're welcome. the mountains look good.

one thing. could you post the updates in the first page but also in your post?


for example the post above me is the post where you present V9, but to look at v9 i had to go to page one. if that post included v9 it would have been much easier to follow.

[gimil]

here what i feel needs attention:

1. the mountains do look good BUT they blend to much into the background try to make them stand out a little by either darkening them or mibi adding a shadow

2. lose the title it horrible.

3. the whole map looks a little to blue change the overlay which is doing it please

keep up the good work thou id like to see this map move on
