too big for phpBB3!!! what can i do? anw click here.

36 territories

What's new:
*new routes looks and bridges. The bridges are where real bridges are.

Issues:
*how is the new legend
*how are the airports
*how is the background
*how is the new route
*should i apply a texture the the land
*anything else

Please give feedback. It would be much appreciated.

I think putting different colors for the 4 airports while having no colors for the 3 airports is confusing and unnecessary. Make them all black.

The new sea routes look much better, and I think the map is fine without a land texture on them. I really like the hefty amount of enclave states, should make it interesting.

[cairnswk]

From a quick look, coming along very nicely, and glad to see you back continuing this. I'll give some more feedback later, as i have to go to RL work now.

What's new:
*major bonus redo - supposed to reflect the city (need feedback!!!), because Unit_2 complained. no offence, i myself am trying something new! thanks for the feedback
*of course i added the credit to my XMLer

Issues:
*how is the new legend
-do you like the new or old one?
-if you like this one how should the airport bonus be (2 ideas so far):
~vertical(current line of 3 airports)
~horizontal, like flying(current line of 4 airports)
-is the legend not-readable on the small map?
*how are the airports
*how is the background
*anything else

Please give feedback. It would be much appreciated.

[lozzini]

i think the airportr bonuses should be horizontal like flying, apart from that this map looks really good

[yeti_c]

Taking shape nicely...

Planes horizontal looks good... you might be able to find room for them below the skyscrapers in your legend too?

[Marvaddin]

Very good map until now, Im impressed.

The changes I would suggest:

- eliminate Jurong - Bukit route (the blue area is already a hard one)
- adjust some bonuses:
blue to 6
dark green to 5
red to 4 (maybe)

Congratz.

[samuelanonymous]

nice legend, but i think you should combine the 2 small red islands or increase the red bonus. just a suggestion.

C.

I think this is a great suggestion (: Since there's sort of a bar of empty gray space there, so the planes would fit in nicely there.

And just repeating earlier wisdom, the skyscrapers and horizontal planes look great.

Regarding bonuses, I think that Blue district is really hard to get. 6 borders... If you're leaving it as it is, the bonus should stay at 7. If you are removing 1 border, then the bonus should be 6. Other than that, the bonuses are fine to me.

Lastly, the connection between Pasir Ris and Pulau Ubin is kinda blocked out by the words in he Small map. You should move down the words.

[benny profane]

in the skyscraper legend, you might want to make the colors only slightly stronger.
as it is, North West and North East could be more distinguished.

[whitestazn88]

i'd say move the bonuses closer on the minimap to the place where they are in the real map. like north east and north west should probably change places in the legend imo

[t-o-m]

in the skyscraper legend, you might want to make the colors only slightly stronger.

thats what i was thinking.
i like the legend though, good idea having skyscrapers

[oaktown]

nice to see another map with straightforward gameplay.

Just a thought, but it would be nice if the map somehow captured the flavor of Singapore. I've never been there so I'm not sure what this would mean, but I suspect the city has landmarks or features more meaningful than the four airports. ??

[AndyDufresne]

I agree with Oaktown...very little about this map says Singapore. Look into adding some sort of flavor to it. Some examples to consider might be the Hong Kong map, the Indo-China map, Bamboo Jack, etc.

He's got the Merlion on? - which is the national symbol of good luck in Singapore?!

What else could he have - some LCD tv's - and some digital cameras?!

36 territories

What's new:

*cartoons?
*should i bring back the airports?
*anything else

[MrBenn]

And lo, a map rises from the ashes...

[Advanced Draft]

[haoala]

To make many continent easier to get, I plan to extend rivers and remove some routes.

Extending rivers to divide:
Marine Parade(green) and Jalan Besar(red)
East Coast(green) and Aljunied(yellow)
Aljunied and Ang Mo Kio(red)
ang mo kio(red) and bukit timah(orange)

And, as stated earlier, I plan to remove the sentosa(purple) routes to pasir panjang and jalan besar.

What do you think?

Special features:
The continents are generally harder to get than most maps around.
The legend is a homage to the Singapore city skyline.
There are little cartoon landmarks around Singapore.
Hougang is enclave.

What's new:
*longer rivers and removed connections so that continents have less borders:
-Marine Parade(green) and Jalan Besar(red)
-East Coast(green) and Aljunied(yellow)
-Aljunied and Ang Mo Kio(red)
-ang mo kio(red) and bukit timah(orange)
-The above no longer border each other
-Removed connections from Sentosa to Pasir Panjang and Jalan Besar
*Legend & bonus redo to reflect the new borders:
-Southern Islands bonus increased to 4
-I thought about decreasing the orange bonus to 1 for three territories, having to defend one. however, many territories can attack that 1 territory, so i decided to keep the bonus at 2.

Issues:
*cartoons?
*I wonder...why do I need army circles? I've seen many new maps without army circles and I wonder whether I need them...they are rather troublesome anyway. Share your thoughts on removing the army circles.
*also, i planning on giving the main island a texture. it looks pretty plain if you ask me
*anything else
