World Inverted

Has some interest in the map dabble. Basically it's the world map inverted. The ocean becomes the land, no special game play. Mountains/ranges used for gameplay. It's a very large map of 81 territories with 15 regions varying value probably from 1-4 Dimensions 1024 x 780 - no scroll .Theme currently is fantasy, angels, demons, dragons, humans, etc.. I've added d12 user names (programmers/admins/owner) so far Oceans. @aero my name will be on the bottom left ;) Recently updated from the [url=https://dominating12.com/forums/3/map-creation/1803/map-dabble?page=24]map dabble[/url]. Spell check..added Mountains for impassable clarification.. To do. redraw territory lines to less acute angles. Choose territory names. Feedback required if any interest, for gameplay [spoiler=numbered territories reference][img]http://oi63.tinypic.com/2n84qog.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [spoiler=Adjacent territories][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/b5k3nn.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

Just some small semi-random remarks. - I doubt if 4myGod would liked to be called "my god", which has kind of exactly the opposite effect of what he tried to achieve with his name. - My user name here is "Matty", I prefer that over my real name in this case - especially because ou use everyone's user name, rather then their real name (not sure what Ely thinks of losing his beautiful 5, but that's up to him I guess). - I like the Crystal Sea name, that could very well be a real sea. - Region names are a bit cheesy. - Not sure if you want this to become a sort of realm of honoured players, but if you do I guess you should have all names be like that, and if you don't, maybe no names?

Some suggested game-play and intuitiveness edits. The circles are where the territory line joints need to be less acute or adjusted positions. The ovals are confusing mountain positions that need either removing, resizing or repositioning. The Border lines seem a bit too different to other dividing lines, they look more natural / real when they follow terrain (even perceived terrain). Right now they are too smooth, which makes them look false. The dilemma is with a dashed line, it is difficult to make oscillating lines. Some of the info is written on the map. https://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/World-Inverted/WI-suggested-edits.jpg [spoiler=Suggested Edits][img]https://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/World-Inverted/WI-suggested-edits.jpg[/img][/spoiler] I missed an acute joint at 47, 48 & 49 intersection.

Thanks for sorting out the territory joints and mountains. Don't the territories look more realistic now? I meant for the Region Borders to be a bit more Terrain Following (imaginative), more randomly bending / oscillating in the same way as the territory dividers and mentioned that it won't work if they are dashed lines. If you preferred to keep them smooth then the dashed lines were fine, but I recommend solid lines with more randomness. For names / labels, what about also using the tournament winners & runners up. Perhaps that can be a thing to strive for in the future too, becoming a dominator or winning a tournament and get your name immortalised on the World Inverted map?

Tournament winners future dominators,..yeah that's my thought, means it would continually need editing lol. I do like the dashed line look i see in fantasy maps, i thought it might even be something that helps with colourblindness...(haven't tested colours), where they can differentiate a region easier. I'll meddle around some more with it.

I really liked the dotted region lines :ninja:

Two versions of border lines - both attempted to be less smooth/straight. [i]After uploading the straight one, it looks a bit thick to me[/i] I like the dotted ones still......

Missing dotted line between cbt and Clarke :D And agree with Cireon on the dotted lines. Psymon would like to be #43 :D because the only spot left in the light blue player region is #2 and I don't really fit there!

[spoiler=fixups][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/wtgjsx.jpg[/img][/spoiler] dotted line fix, made the islands more region distinguishable... name movement, team tournament winner names... maybe anyone who's been a General?....only if they rank up :)

By the way, know that cbt is very popular and stuff, but he's two terries, the one next to Spain and one next to Alaska...

You found a good compromise with the dashed lines, as I said they are fine for smoother borders, but smooth borders look false, however, you've managed to get a few kinks in them giving them a more natural look. BTW, I was thinking [b]the account names[/b] of tournament winners, not the team names, I think you might fill the map up some more with that except Death From Above, both guys are already on there. The Generals (That Rank Up) is also a good idea. It's a shame Spartakus doesn't play here anymore, but nevertheless, I guess you could add any that weren't banned, locked etc.

I like the idea of this map, but aren't some tournament winners missing? For example, using a quick search the winner of this tournament, "darkdead", doesn't appear in the map. https://dominating12.com/forums/2/general-discussion/772/d12-fall-tournament-sign-up-here

Decided to leave out team names. I reckon ranked up generals tho.
