Black Sea

[quote=aeronautic]Awesome update, so much attention paid to the refinement requirements. Perhaps the connections are now a tiny bit too camouflaged, just a tad of brightness should sort them.

I like the drop shadow of "BLACK SEA" of previous versions more. I'm not very good at picking good looks, but my personal opinion is the new drop shadow is too bold, looks to me like it doesn't belong. does anyone think like me?

yes. i agree, and playing around with it atm. title shadow edit. labels tint [spoiler][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/f2klko.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi67.tinypic.com/f2klko.jpg]100% view[/url]

Cyprus looks camouflage

Thank you Stratosphere, I too thought the title was too much in the foreground, this looks much better now. Cyprus camouflaged.... indeed, that will need to be a completely different colour. The connection lines look better.

Cyprus colour change edit [spoiler=version post#81][img]http://oi64.tinypic.com/zo712w.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi64.tinypic.com/zo712w.jpg]100% view[/url] So far the capitals from 1 to 8 seem good & fair - all on different regions, all on borders and even spacing between caps 9 players, it is noticed that caps Armenia and Zanjan are too close (2 spots) [spoiler][img]http://oi64.tinypic.com/jfai6w.jpg [/img][/spoiler] another option to keep [b]even[/b] spacing between the caps (3 steps) [spoiler][img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/kb7uv7.jpg[/img] [/spoiler] however, Malopolskie is an internal territory with only 2 adjacent travelling routes. And there are 2 caps on Greece region Here is an adjacency map, (circle numbers, = # of adjacent territories) for other suggestions. [spoiler=adjacencies][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/vqu00k.jpg[/img] [b][size=13]Guide for Capitals Locations[/size][/b] [b]Priority List:[/b][list type=decimal] [*]All the capitals should be as equally far apart as possible. [*]Try not to have two capitals in the same region if possible. [*]In 2-4 player capitals all the capitals should be equally far apart and in 5-8 player capitals for each capital there should be 3 capitals nearby and the rest further away. The nearby capitals should be the same distance apart. [*]Take into consideration how many territories the capital is adjacent to. Remember that paths are an important part of a capitals game. Try to put the capitals in territories that have at least 3 adjacent territories so that there are many paths from one capital to another. Nobody likes to play capitals on a map where they are always blocked from killing the other players because there aren't enough paths out of their capital. It is best if all the capitals have the same number of adjacent territories. [*]If one capital is on a border then all the capitals should be on a border. If you can't space them out properly without using borders, then they should all be on borders and not just one. The only exception is if there is one capital that is obviously less preferred than the rest then you may consider putting it on a border so that all the capitals are equally preferable. [*]In 2-4 player capitals, try to balance the regions so that every capital is in a good region. In 5-8 player capitals the best you can do is to get the spacing as good as you can.

9p, moving Georgia to Northern Caucasus will make 3 steps to Luhansk & Zanjan However, perhaps look for a better position for all to eliminate 2 Capitals on Greece?

another 9 player option [spoiler][img]http://oi64.tinypic.com/2r7vn0g.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

That's a better 9p Cap's. I can't see any other things that need doing, but that's what Beta is for... You already have it input into the system?

yup, all good to go.

The colour-blind (Red-Blind Protanopia) & (Green-Blind Deuteranopia) show 3 regions as identical colour and all connected. The two Turkey regions and the Iran region, all are an orange colour and look identical to Red-Blind & Green-Blind people. Also the Hungary & Balkan regions are affected by (Blue-Blind Tritanopia). We will need to swap some region colours around before going live.

Color blind options [spoiler=version A][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/2n7o22d.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi68.tinypic.com/2n7o22d.jpg]100% view[/url] [spoiler=version B][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/un6s7.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi65.tinypic.com/un6s7.jpg]100% view[/url]

You uploaded Version B and that works perfectly with all colour-blind settings. Most of our maps are hard to distinguish with monochromacy, only the region borders help there. But then, there are very few people in the world that can't see any colour at all. I'll upload the thumbnails in a few minutes and make it Beta. Great job !

I have put this map in Beta, well done on making another great D12 map, to all involved.

I played a 4p Deathmatch game on it and there appears to be no issues.
