is Japan Connected to W.USA? because it's not very clear

Because Aeronautic had some ideas on this map, I'm not going to comment on it as of yet. Except maybe to repeat what I'd said before: the map layout looks very much like the map that -NoXoN- made, but retracted later on. His looked way cooler btw :dealwithit: :P

[quote=Jimi]is Japan Connected to W.USA? because it's not very clear[/quote] No, Japan is connected to Hawaii. Territory name is missing. I like your comment Matty. I spend countless hours on a map :( making nice map is not a trip over the night so i think we will see better image in next update. Would like to hear something from Vexer about this map, he always have good ideas.

oh yeah. i had made the font a bit smaller and musta forgot to put hawaii label on there. (image edited) nox suggested for me to give this theme a go, and i like the initial attempt i made. I think there is interest for the theme. I had been looking at axis and allies game maps prior. aero may take over and that would be cool. he's got ideas he seems enthused about. comments on the gameplay could be useful while we wait for aero,

man...if only we could actually make it seem like AxA with different types instead of just infantry. E.g. planes, tanks, etc. Planes can attack say 3 territories over, tanks 2, infantry 1. You can battle for the ocean too, etc. Each territory could have multiple of each item.

Axis and allies is the best war game .revised version is even better

lost the source file of other one,. so a re-do Pacific centred world map - 75 territories (large) no scroll dimensions = 1024 x 635 [spoiler][img]http://oi64.tinypic.com/1582sl5.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi64.tinypic.com/1582sl5.jpg]100% view[/url]

Nice...only comment is on the neutral shading. Too similar to the oceans and Europe. Could you add some subtle stripes/lines or something to those?

I like the neutral territories and the fact that the Allies covers both sides of the map, though not sure if the latter may end up being confusing.

Also, is it just me, or is this map really generous with region bonuses?

i tried changing the background a few times so the neutrals wouldn't hide, but also trying not to make them stand out too much, but nothing was working. aero wants to tackle this, so it's mainly another reference to work with. I like that allies observation Cireon 'Allies covers both sides of the map' I also like that it has Japan & Hawaii centred. Timeline is before US join the war.

The lines seperating territories look quite sharp, (similar to the timor map, but more metallic). Especially for this theme, I really like that choice. However, the borders with the sea look very different. Almost blurry. Well, not blurry, but less sharp. It feels wrong. Apart from that: - I don't really like the current neutral texture - it's too different from the map's style. - A quick count showed me 7 territories that are not borders. That's very little. Are you sure this theme will make for a good map? - I feel you can do more with colors. For example, Russia, being soviet, could be red. While the USA, being capitalistic, could not be red.

was going for the red white and blue for americas initially. colour change to make ussr red. neutrals with a bit more colour contrast. outline redrawn. I noticed that it was blurred too, i think it happens with resizing things. I think the limited border defence suits the chaos of the theme. world war it's been input in the test map panel. play is fun so far [spoiler=feedback edits][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/2qlco5k.jpg[/img][/spoiler] [url=http://oi66.tinypic.com/2qlco5k.jpg]100% view[/url]

Looks good. Only thing I notice is that unless I am missing something I believe Africa should be a bonus of 4 instead of 5.
