Hmm. That's a very dark map there. Where are you gonna put your mini map? That barrier in the middle island does nothing but give an advantage to whoever holds the black region. All the other central island regions have four borders where it has only three. So might as well save some trouble on it. And if you're really after a three person CAPS game, then each of the three islands can really only have ONE connection line a la the Caribbean map. Otherwise you'll have to divide up your cap to maintain your bonus on the island, which would defeat the purpose. And the connection lines or the territories on the island regions need to be reworked because the spacing would be difficult for caps as they stand now.

I agree 100% with what naathim just said. :P

Wow, thats a lot Ultra...Impressed* lol

He did say exactly what I was gonna say though :P

Few updates..[spoiler][img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/665x429q90/r/901/a7183f.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

First, well done, with a little tiny bit of guidance, you have made a map with a good idea of it's intended concept, something I lacked on my first attempt here. You will be getting feedback for many things perhaps you didn't expect or weren't aware of and before this will become a used map at D12, it will undergo many changes, so I hope you have everything separated in layers in your master file? I will never bombard you with too many changes at a time, just the ones that need to be changed first before any other unnecessary graphic work is undertaken that could cost you lost time. [spoiler=1]The mini map has to go somewhere and normally it is in one of the corners of the map and can't be obscuring any of the main map, so I would suggest losing the extra island with Lutus & Canum on and the territory Everett, so that it can go there.[/spoiler] [spoiler=2]If this affects the gameplay you expect or require due to your map now having 30 territories instead of 33, you will need to add 3 territories somewhere else in the middle region. If not, good as there is no rework needed to just remove those 3. [/spoiler] [spoiler=3]The colours of the middle regions, Red & Brown are too close in colour. Solution = swap the grey and red colours over.[/spoiler] [spoiler=4]The connection from each outer island (where the Capitals will be in a 3p Cap's game) to the main central island are uneven. It is currently possible for the Purple island player and the Greeny-Brown island player to take and defend an extra bonus on the Main Island (centre), but not the Green island player. On the same note, the connection from the purple island to the main island (Glandrael to Beronis) offer too much access to the Green island and should connect Glandrael to Platon. [/spoiler] I'm not saying these things won't get changed again when others comment on the map or give suggestions, but it is a start down the right road. Some of which will save you work and some that will allow others to see where you are going with it. Things you might want to consider if looking to save a lot of rework are; fairness to all 3 players with regard to the order of the territories on each Cap island and how easy or hard each will be to conquer and defend. If one player can use and move his cap troops to take the bonus island region where as the others can't, to name but two. I would put a graphic example up, but you seem more than capable and eager to do the graphic work and more than able to comprehend suggestions. Again, well done, good progress!

I don't have much time so I'll just comment that I think the minimap can fit pretty clearly in the map as is. Can't try though a 5 min sketch :S

Thanks aeronautic, I will post an update soon and yes, I do have everything seperated in layers(haha that would be terrible if I didn't). Also, I think I might try fitting the minimap on the eastern side and if all fails I will remove the smaller island and Everett.

Only spent maybe 5-10 min on this part but here is a minor update.[spoiler][img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/665x429q90/r/536/843786.jpg[/img][/spoiler](roughed up the red region too much oops

Ignore last one, this one's red region is a tad better and I added in a TERRIBLE looking minimap just to show it can fit.[spoiler][img]https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/665x429q90/r/539/8d080d.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

Thank you for moving the Fenfell island connection from Solaria to Platon. I think it allows a bit of breathing space for the Green and Purple Islands creating a bit more fairness & less chance of being spawn blocked. [spoiler=Tristania island connection]You also moved the Tristania island connection from Malum to Sordid and I think it was essential to leave it where it was. It is too close to Crantiburr (Roridon island entrance) and allows more advantage for that player to get an extra bonus region with 1 of the territories guarded by their main off-cap troops, whilst still being able to attack other Cap's. All these reasons will spoil the 3p Capital game play experience you seek.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Selphine island connections]If you decide to keep Selphine island, I would also move the connection from Rhazorn to Xarthen, as this will allow an alternative route to Fenfell island Cap and also another way to attack for the same Cap if spawn blocked.[/spoiler] All these little adjustments to game play, will possibly make the game experience much less frustrating and more enjoyable to Cap players and might make your map the most popular 3p Cap's map at D12. [spoiler=Attack routes]At the moment, no matter where you put the connection lines from the Cap islands to the Central island, there's never an even amount of steps from each island entrance to the other island entrances. The closest I can get is 4,4,5. This isn't essential as there has to be slight differences in the map uniformity or it would be too bland and boring. It is up to you if you want to make it more even of course?[/spoiler] General 3p Capitals gameplay; nobody is going to want to take extra bonus regions that will block their routes to other Cap's and as long as there are always [b]more than 1[/b] territory bordering each of the central island regions and these territories are in front of the main off-cap troops, they will be unable to keep their main troops off their Capital in any territories other than either end of their Cap island connection lines, e.g. Glandrael or Platon and will be unable to block another player for cards.

It's a bit ironic that you have an island named "Malum" meaning evil or death inside of the country named "Vita" whose Latin meaning is life/prosperity

Ah yes :D there is indeed death in life though

I'm going to be honest with you, I'm not feeling this map at all...maybe it's because of its odd shape, or maybe it looks too simple for the site. I can't put my finger on it but what I do know is it won't help if you put too much effort on the graphics because that feeling will remain... Sorry but this is the hard truth..
