I think his point was that it will be better for team games, as all larger maps are. Compare quads World 2.1 to quads Doodle Earth...the latter is almost unplayable.

Hey, uh...turd.
Couple questions:
Is this based on anything, or did you just kinda go to town while drawing it?
Do you plan on breaking up the continents into smaller territories and adding water connections?
I'm interested to see where this goes. I prefer large maps, but not everyone does.
And if the gameplay doesn't strike anyone as innovative, you might consider a theme in order to 'sell' it.

Indeed a nice start, I like it!

there is something slightly 'disconcerting' perhaps not the right word.. but something not quite right about the balance of landmass and the frilled edges. - I see what you are going for and i like it but it needs to be fine-tuned slightly.

don't mistake me, i like the feel and that very feature but it needs to be modified slightly to make it more balanced.

Yeah, I agree.
Also, I like the touch of the scary frowny face in the middle too.

Not a bad draft, could be interesting. How many territories, etc?

At a quick glance, one river goes over a white circle and add bigimg tags for the image.

On a development note, it helps to include some detail about the area (assuming that Monbo bay is a real place?) - if people can relate to something, then you may get some more feedback. As it is, it just looks like random shapes at the moment...

This map has been moved into retirement.

It would appear that development of this map has stalled, as there have not been any updates for some time.

If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system ;-)
