Yellow Sea (Update 8.5 - Page 7) [Abandoned]

[Ruben Cassar]

man + fuk in ur legende it bring naughty though 2 my head

omg. i cant believe i missed that. haha. ill fix it...

Actually I would change that to something like Greater China or All of China or maybe Mainland China...same goes for Korea...

Come to think of it I don't like the name Yellow Sea for this map. Can you find something else? South East Asia is too simple I guess.

Btw keep up the good work. I am sure there are many people who want to play this map including me.

I will comment more later, but a first thing to think about... china should be divided in 3 continents. A gigantic continent in a corner, upper or lower is the same: unplayable.

[Enigma]

i just don't think this map stand out enough for me to want to play it... I mean, it looks okay, but to some of the others that are in the process of being made this pales in comparison...

The background or the colors... or the concept, just anything could be different to make it more unique and interesting

ya i was thinking the same thing. looks really similar to the ancient greece map.

i definetly agree. im working on fixing that now.

looks really similar to the ancient greece map.

i dont see any connection, except that it has islands.

list of things fixing...

-3 chinese continents
-adding great wall
-updating graphic on korea 'wall' (nobody commented but i dont like it)
-making army circles bigger
-changing bonus wording on man/fuk and korea
-updating signature

should i still include an "all china" bonus with the three continents?
anything else?

[johloh]

oh yeah. also trying to come up with a better name than yellow sea for the map. any ideas?

[Caleb the Cruel]

I like this map so far, you're doing good.
I don't like how North and South Korea are unable to attack each other though.

Can't see the wall.

i didnt put it in yet because i wasnt sure how to do it and improve gameplay, i was just discussing where it was in relation to the map. ill work on putting it in with the new three continents in asia (see below)

I thought we were splitting China into 3 regions..

oh i see! i reread your comments and now I understand what you meant, it didnt make sense at first....ill try that out.

For the middle region..


shansi.. for a name.

marked as to do marv

[Exterminator]

i just had a thort.

how about u make the N.Korea - S.Korea border 1 way.
ie. only attack southwards and not attack northwards OR vice versa.

thoughts ??

Good idea. Northwards would get my vote.

[AndyDufresne]

I actually like the idea of making it an unpassable border...as this it benefits this map, to have an country like that on either 'side' of the board. Having it one way...seems like it would give too much power to the one continent as a whole.

agreed

[Exterminator]

hmm...

looks like its been rejected.

but i believe someone wonted them conected.

oh well

[johloh]

-3 chinese continents
-added great wall
-updated sig
-bigger army cirlces
-rewrote all bonuses (format and numbers)

still need to do....
-new map name (yellow sea is no good)
-i dont like my wall graphics, how did you guys do yours in other maps?

[KEYOGI]

I like the changes. Maybe it's a good time to start working on the visuals.

Your territory borders are quite jagged and pixelated. This is reduced somewhat by the bevel/emboss that you have applied, but it's still a problem.

I think you should use the same style non-passable border for the wall as you have in North Korea. It's not an extravegant look but it suits the rest of the map well. If you decide to texture the land at any point, you could do that to the borders as well.

The legend needs a lot of improvement. Not sure what the best option is, but the text could be made smaller which would allow you to be more creative.

[Wisse]

my eayes! argh! its to bright

[Phobia]

doesnt look too bright to me, montreal is brighter than that

[Exterminator]

to me, tokyo is a bit to small, specially with the bigger army circles.

is it possible to either:

Make it bigger

OR

Remove it from the whole map

[onbekende]

my eayes! argh! its to bright

agreed, Japan is too bright and the orange is, TOO ORANGE

[johloh]

ok so here what ill work on...

-darken the continents.
-fix the legend.
-make great wall same as korean wall.
-try to smooth out region boundries.

[johloh]

any comments on the new 3-split of china and the bonuses?

[johloh]

and trying to fix tokyo, or removing it and adding another area somewhere else...

[johloh]

-darker
-changed great wall graphic
-smoother region boundaries
-very slightly shrunk army circles
-enlarged tokyo again
-changed legend (i cant decide if i like it or hate it, i know i like the new font, dont know about background)

still to do....
-need a new map name

[reverend_kyle]

South Korea should only be +2, 5 countries 2 borders, sounds like south america to me.

[Lone.prophet]

north japan 2borders 4 bonus?

[johloh]

ok...

south korea +2
north japan +3

should manchuria drop to a +3?

ill also drop the japan bonus to +8
and the korea bonus to +8
