Re: Thailand
Your HTMS routes need to be more clear. There's one going to either Nakhon Si Thammarat or Phatthalung (which is rather difficult to read) and there's one going to unmarked territory and there's one going to an island just off the coast of Chantha buri.

Re: Thailand
I would say reduce either the saturation or the opacity of the playable area some.

Re: Thailand
the HTMS dotted line should be more dense
less apvces between each dot

I agree, but it does look better.

Re: Thailand
maybe you find it better looking
but it's hard to read
and it's a very important gameplay feature
if you don't want players complaining latter
better to fix this now

Re: Thailand
Ok here are the HTMS routes a bit more "dense" / darker... i made them closer together so more in number, hope these are clear enough, if not let me know

I meant less space between the dots

I did make less space between the dots, i actually made it even more dots but it looks too goofy with so many dots... is it really that hard to tell where those connect? Maybe i could just make them lines if its that hard to tell where they connect...

Re: Thailand
for me it would be better with lines
also next step is to work on legend design
now it's a bit plain

Re: Thailand
OK people, choose between dots or lines for the HTMS connections (connections from the ship)... i personal still like how the dots look.
dots

Re: Thailand
whatever border you use try to avoid to go over the map border
I prefer the less coloured one

Me too, i like a simpler version of everything sense the country artwork is pretty simple... ill move it around and try to get it off the map boarder.

Re: Thailand
Whats that bit of land around Songkhla? Not Malaya, but enclaved by the rest of Thailand. And at Kachanburi, shouldn't that province not touch the coast?

You talking about Satun? Your right on the Kachanburi part, when i put that background back on i forgot to resize it a bit.

Re: Thailand
nevermind, i got what you were saying, to be honest i wasn't paying much attention to the neighboring countries, i hope they look more accurate to what they actually are now. And Pomao, you meant not to overlap the country itself with the key right? not the boarders of the entire map itself.. because that would be a lot more difficult for me to do.

Re: Thailand
the second one but also the first
overlapping looks bad in general
but I think you have plenty of room
and btw how a high-sea ship can reach a landlocked territory like Narathiwat in south

I will mess around with it some more, and good point on the HTMS reaching Narathiwat... we will have to see what FarangDemon says as he is doing the gameplay.
