Make it a capital.
Together with mongolia and bejing or something, make it extra bonus.
Do not delete or merge it, but make it more clear, or larger.

One question: what's the black-white country at the right doing there??
I don't understand what it means.

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:20 am

i actually don't know...
but on every map it is like this...

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:34 am

i stil think its to tiny, i can make a capital of it and merge it with the other country, should i do that?
for the ones that don't know what i am talking about its this:

santon836 · Post by **santon836** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 11:51 am

well it's tiny.
Make it just larger, till the end of the outstanding piece of land.
In nederlands:
Maak het groter, tot het uiteinde van het uitstekende stuk land.
Weet niet hoe je dat exact zegt in engels.

i don't understand you (ik snap je niet)

Wisse · Post by **Wisse** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 12:19 pm

update:

put also a line round the sea, because there was a line round the land
less drop shadow (land <--> sea)

questions:
do you like the font i used? because if not i don't go wast my time on it

must i merge shanghai and make it a capital (then i also make a capital of beijin)

santon836 · Post by **santon836** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 12:55 pm

I like the font.

Nog eens:
Breid shanghai uit zodat het die uitstekende landpunt beslaat.
Je kan ook zeggen dat er 2 baaien zijn aan weerskanten, maar ik bedoel hetzelfde.
Er is namelijk zo'n punt:

Om het heel schematisch weer te geven.

i know alot about china-and are you using the wade-giles names of places(ji zhou,yangzhou..).

also-i wanted to do a map based on the three kingdoms era of china

there is a book based on it called "ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS".
and game of same name as well as "dynasty warriors" series-it was an intreating time in china and would make an intresting map-ut i dont know how to create one thats any good.

china was half the size making it a tense war.

maps:

http://www.ibiblio.org/chineseart/conte ... ist04.html

i made a quick(5 min) rough outline of how the regoins were divided(but they were in littler clumps than that even.

also three were capitals wich could give bonus

is this an idea i should follow.

suprisingly-shu did very well(my favourite of the three)

fauir enough but i had the proper names and thought we should use them for it to be really cool

well i think that if we use the real names no-one should understand them (you know like hyroglyphes)

made an update:

put the text everywhere
made 2 capitals

i am still not sure what to do with ste black/white country to the left. any idea's?

Get rid of the black/white country. Also your text is pretty unreadable. People tend to favour pretty simple fonts for the labels. Save the fancy nice-looking stuff for legends / titles. Whats the little line coming out of the lower star for?

no mayby i can make a special route from the black/white country to yunnan,
and i will try to make the font more clear, but do you like the places? and the names?

I like the names and suchlike, and I'll say again that the visual style is striking... Very original. I seriously would get rid of the black and white territory. its a minor one, only small, and it doesn't need to be there really. Not gonna add much to gameplay.

Just out of interest where di the texture for the sea come from???

gavin_sidhu · Post by **gavin_sidhu** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 10:03 pm

get rid of black and white territory. Really want to see a map with mountains and unpassables, because this is currently extremely unplayable.

here i got some options for makeing the font readable, i will set up a poll for it

this poll will be standing there for 10 days
