But can I point out one major flaw with it?

If Britain cannot be invaded (only bombarded) then whoever holds england will eventually win....ie. 2 players, one holds england, the rest hold the whole of europe, the one holding the whole of europe will never be able to kill the english holder, despite having the biggest advantage.

See what I mean? the game would go on forever.


:shock: guess norse just pointed out a major flaw in this map. there has to be atleast one entry way into britain.

No he hasn't, people are still just misunderstanding how bombardments work. They leave a neutral 1 in the territory after the forces inside have been eliminated. This can be done from all 3 bombardments killing Britain and making sure nobody can have it.

Going to repost this because nobody has said anything. A & D are pretty much neck and neck as far as I'm concerned, so I think we should decide one way or the other on each value they disagree with each other on.

These look nearly identical, here's the differences:

Code: Select all

Continent     A  B
North Italy   2  3
Vichy France  4  3
Britain       3  2

do you think it's better to put them simply as 2 options, or make many options to cover all the intermixings of those 3?

Not sure, I like the 3 for Britain but the 2 for North Italy and the 4 for vichy France.

Edit: Hey, I guess that means I just like Option A.

What exactly happens if a territory in Britain is conquered through bombardment? Does it become neutral?

IS Italian flag above or below the playing area? It looks like it is above, I suggest you add shadow undernaeth. Just a pet peeve / major psychotic hatred.

Before Final Forge, there at least needs to be a large and small version. I do have a couple of suggestions before that stage though.

Some of the objects on the map seem a bit poor in quality. Maybe it's just my eyes, or an effect on the arrows, but the normal and bombardment arrows look a bit blurry to me. They kind of have a fuzzy edge to them that gives them a look of being scaled up poorly.

The river doesn't seem to flow all the way to the ocean or blend into it. Also, rivers are generally smooth, but this one looks a bit out of sorts. It also seems to have some effect applied to it that makes it look more like a blue worm stretching across France, rather than a river. :wink:

The mountains don't quite look right to me either. I guess some of it has to do with scale, compare them to the other impassables. It's almost as if they're too small and sharp. The borders and some of the impassable objects have a nice soft edge and feel to them and work really well. The mountains kind of grab my attention, but not in a good way.

Perhaps a slightly nicer title wouldn't be out of the question? Also, I'm not sure where the fluro green comes into the legend for the top three bonuses. Perhaps a more subtle colour would be more appropriate?
