Re: Treasure Map [D] (NEW: small map) v22.4 pgs.1&28

Post by LED ZEPPELINER »

i personally don't find the small text hard to read, i just find it harder to read. the small map reaches the restrictions, and it can not go any bigger width wise.

Re: Treasure Map [D] (NEW: XML) Gameplay ? v23 pgs.1&29

Post by LED ZEPPELINER »

ok, so i was bored, and decided to start working on the xml. I know gameplay probably isn't finished, but i just felt like doing this anyway. I roughened the borders on other continents, and made a few other graphical touches. The xml does not have the coordinates yet, as they will probably shift. Hope you enjoy!

Could you change the font and/or color red the X in the poem, right now it looks like a glorified H.

I like the balance and look of the islands, much more realistic good work.

It's looking good Led Zeppliner---definitely. I wouldn't mind you roughing up the borders a little more to fit into the overall old and grunge-esque theme you have going, but it is a small point and isn't bothersome.

There are a few territory names that seem rather uninspired---though I know you've done well at fitting many names into the territories. If you happen to alter/change/substitute any names, a few suggestions:

Outer Banks
Devil's Fortune
Rumrunner's Cove
Shipwrecked Harbour
Scurvy Sandbar
Land's Bridge N./S. (or both perhaps on the map)

You get the idea. But as I mentioned, I know you've fit the names rather well, so no worries really.

You could also randomly add a name of the sea of the map---perhaps the Sea of Thieves or something.

Overall, this is quite splendid looking map.

Thank you Andy, i will try to work out the names, i will add ocean names also, if it doesn't add too much clutter. :D

I would bold the text at the bottom for clarity. Raise the word Long Point to make room for a coordinate.
Love the idea...

Have you considered (and maybe you have because I've not been here in a while) replacing the South Grendelia to Creeker connection with a Creeker to Black Dog connection? It would look better, be more logical, and would eliminate the dead end from Night Flight to Black Dog through Poor Tom. You know somebody (me) is going to screw that up in a game, wondering how the hell they were attacked from all the way across the map. It would also give Pirate Armada a third territory, making it a very Africa-like 6/3/+3.

I think that what bugs me about the ships is that they are all identical - if this was a hand-drawn treasure map you wouldn't have six identically rendered images. Grunge 'em up, and this map will look faaarrrrr better. ;)

Ok, that sounds like a good idea, i will definitely change that.

I see so many problems with army counters on the small map that I would recommend making it a little bigger

The small map is the maximum size, all of the 88's fit in.

You have room to play with around the ships, especially if you move that attack route. Right now the numbers are bumping the titles, attack routes, and ships - it looks sloppy.

The only number I'm concerned about is "Long Point" - I play with color codes, so all of my two-digit numbers are actually three digits.

That yellow is awfully bright - seems like an old mpa like this wouldn't retain such a vibrant color.

I'll will try changing the ships a little, if it looks sloppy, i am sorry. I just wanted something for people to look at until the gameplay got sorted

I will switch the 88 and the word Long, which i feel should help
That yellow is awfully bright - seems like an old mpa like this wouldn't retain such a vibrant color.I will dampen it a little

Here it is: version 24. I have decided to leave small out of this, so we can focus a little more on gameplay. I changed the boats, and the connection from Creeker to South Grendelia, to Creeker to Black Dog.
XML (without coordinates)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map>

That XML is way out of date, take it down, it confuses people (me)

Also think about the Y assault routes, can every territory assault each other? That is what it looks like, if that it what you want, keep it, if not ;)

I think i will keep it that way, and the only thing out of date in the XML is i have to change the connection from Creeker to Black Dog.

Edit: it has been fixed

A little fade may be nice but I think the currently levels of the colours work pretty good. What I don't like is the wood texture underneath the 'map'. I think if you stick with a white instead of a wood texture it will enhance the worn parts when the map is on the game page!
What do you know about map making, bitch?

love the GP of this map!


A little fade may be nice but I think the currently levels of the colours work pretty good. What I don't like is the wood texture underneath the 'map'. I think if you stick with a white instead of a wood texture it will enhance the worn parts when the map is on the game page!

how about i make the background transparent, and save as png

Because white has just the same effect and the file size is smaller without transparency ;)
What do you know about map making, bitch?
