Map Dabble

[spoiler=previous edit][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/ua25f.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [spoiler=latest edit][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/23mv3om.jpg[/img][/spoiler] Thanks for the feedback! it's good to work with. Tried some more colour combo's, just getting them all to mesh together can be tricky. I quite like the pallete I settled with, for now, lol. Some colours I wanted to keep in specific regions such as NZ (Greenery) and the colour tones of australia, like red dirt, dried grass warmer climate colours. I don't think I personally like dark blue blackgrounds so that's why I went with a brighter one with the last edit and I opted with making it a tinge lighter again, and making the glow darker to make the land pop out as aero says, and maybe it looks better for Matty too. Territory shape / connection line adjustment.

Looking good to me! At the risk of disagreeing with Psymon above, I think I might have preferred the brighter orage of the previous version for Melanesia. Or perhaps something in between the previous one and the current one. As they are the smallest islands on the map, the current duller colour makes them harder to see. I think it partly appears darker than it really is due to the contrast with the sea. Just my two cents - feel free to disregard: I've never made a map in here!

Nop, Mach, I have to agree with you. The previous colour was too bright but this one is too dirty.

[spoiler=more edits][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/347732o.jpg[/img][/spoiler] re-did territories, more tidy look. played around for a while trying to get Melanesia right, it kept looking to similar QLD everytime I thought I had it right. Ocean got some gradient in this version too

If you put the circle of Chatham on the island, you can't see which region it belongs to.

I think it looks like a fun little map to play on! I will say that the saminess of the 2 bonuses is a little of a negative for me. But that's a very minor thing. Is there any better name than 'Peninsula'? lol those kinds of names get me down :P There's still the connection/path blocking/chokepoint problem. But it's a smaller map, so that's to be expected. The Goolburi/New Caledonia/Maui connection saves it for me. I'd say play with the territories a little. Maybe take out Chatham? Make NZ a +1, maybe add a territory to the northern territory or western australia? Try and get away from the sameness of +2+2+2. Maybe add a connection line from Mulga to Patpa? Not NEEDED, but might open up the west a little.

Like the suggestions naathim. especially the connection on the west. [spoiler=naathim edits][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/34yctvr.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

4? It's too much! What do you guys have with high bonus?

maybe keeping it at 3 is better.. maybe the Papua regions 1 also? I imagine they could both be taken with just 2 spots to defend - daru and merauke. Getting 4 bonus might be too much then but +2 might be too little. maybe make them both 1's but if you hold all of Papua, you earn another +1? = +3 [spoiler][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/fvh02g.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

That is spot on how I would bonus the regions Hood. :thumbs:

IMO you should give this map it's own thread and go serious.

[spoiler=North America][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/34q8xty.jpg [/img][/spoiler] 64 territories 14 regions North America dabble

Check the territory tags, please. Without checking carefully, I can see some names are wrong: - not Svaalvard, but Iceland; - not Vermont, but New York.

North America looks good Hoodlum, like the rivers cutting through making it little harder to navigate the map
