Celtic 7 Nations v4.0 [Quenched]!

[KernowWarrior]

Just to remind you that Kernow is still Kenrow.

2.5 is now up.

Revert Stonehenge, added the signature. Fixed Kernow (thought I did that a long time ago, must have missed it somehow). Changed the font on "7 Nations" and I also changed the font on the mini map.

Enjoy.

Nice change on the font

Have not looked in for a while. I like this map, and can only offer some "what ifs".

1.) the attack routes "dotted lines", were faded out to something like the madalion in upper right ?

2.) the bottom right legend, was round ?

3.) the outer glow was eliminated from the text, that is on a few places ?

4.)The darker (black), that is on the bonus legend was also used for the outside border ?

I could try that.

2.) the bottom right legend, was round ?

not so into that idea.

3.) the outer glow was eliminated from the text, that is on a few places ?

Like where?

4.)The darker (black), that is on the bonus legend was also used for the outside border ?

That's actually a very dark green but I could still try what you are asking.

[porkenbeans]

not so into that idea.

It just seems too large and overbearing, and steals away from the body of the map. It could stand to be scaled down a bit. I thought that making it round, would also tie it in better with all of the other round elements, that are pro-dominant throughout the map.

Like where?

On the "giants causeway", the "Celtic sea", the "7 Nations" ...etc.

That's actually a very dark green but I could still try what you are asking.

Yes, I can see that. It is the only place on the map that I see that shade, and it may help to assimilate that text into the map, if it was balanced out, by including it in the border.

I don't think you should make the minimap smaller. There's a large empty space under it, which needs to be covered with something, and the minimap does a good job with this.

As for the title, I'd suggest eliminating the glow and making it look like it was painted on the picture. If you need help with the technique to achieve that just pm me.

Here is version 1.4 of the XML, which changes Kenrow to Kernow.

Are the Giant's Causeway/Celtic Sea/Stonehenge a part of any bonus? Note if not in the legend.

I'd almost like to see the minimap font on the whole of the map... it's clearer to read than the one you have currently.

[mattattam]

Something still seems slightly off about "7 nations". I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's the color green or the fact that the font reminds me of Aladdin lol. The more I look at it the better it looks to me but I think you could mess around with the shade of green or font style more if you want too. It does look more consistent with the style of the map then before.

New Version. I tried something a little different for the texture on 7 Nations. What do you think?

Also made the outside border darker and faded the sea connections.

Ok.

'Yeah that's what I thought too, and I tried it on a few territories, but I didn't end up liking it as much as I thought I would. It's kind of hard to read unless you bump it up in size.

[natty dread]

I think the map should be renamed "7 Celtic Nations".

[The Bison King]

Why? what's the difference between Celtic 7 nations, and 7 Celtic nations? The emphasis is that it is Celtic, not that there are 7.

[The Bison King]

I think the map should be renamed "7 Celtic Nations".

Honestly though I'm just going to circumvent a pointless discussion about word order and say No.

[natty dread]

Well, "7 Celtic Nations" sounds better. Plus it would get your map at the top of the map list. Think about it...

[RedBaron0]

Well.... the "7" is the stumbling point, why have it in the first place? Just "Celtic Nations" should be fine. The 7 being in the title has bothered me a bit, it's superfluous. Just by playing the map you'll realize there are 7 nations, I don't think it needs to be in the title.

hmm... maybe you are on to something.

That's just how I've always heard it. If you say Celtic nations it could either refer to less or far more of the regions on this map. The 7 Celtic nations refers to specifically these 7.

I like the new texture on the words

Could you post your current map with some numbers on it? Haven't seen it in awhile with all the updates.

yeah I'll do that sometime soonish.

Any way I'd like to keep the 7 in the title, if there's no reason for it not to be there. Here's my question, could the maps official name be 7 Celtic nations but on the map still have it's header the way it is with the emphasis on Celtic with 7 nations under it?

[ender516]

If you make it to the top of the map browser with 7 Celtic Nations (just ahead of 8 Thoughts), I will definitely have to get to work on my Olympic map and call it 5 Golden Rings! (Four calling birds, three french hens, two turtledoves ....)

IMO that'd be kinda silly... besides lack decides what name the map is entered with, so if the map image says "celtic 7 nations" it will most likely get listed as such.

C's still pretty close to the thought I just wanted to how close I could dance with complete shamelessness

[ender516]

Shameless dancing is the only true dancing.

New Version. I darkened some of the letters, and added that bit about Celtic Sea, Giants Causeway, and Stonehenge being a part of no bonus. I'm starting to become very satisfied with how this is turning out.
