Normandy re-visted

The theme is very good. I like the gloomy feel of the map but the new colour attempts have lessened that feel for me. You need to find a way to keep it grubby and clean at the same time if that makes sense. Keep messing around with the right colour pallet. I think to clean it up, is to sort out the Outline/Border/Territory line sizes. All those lines look to be the same size. How far along is the gameplay for the map? I notice two spy planes, two airborne and two bristol labels.

LOL I never looked at the spy planes and airborne...been years when I did it. Re-learning how and what to do..... thanks

Thorpe put some military colors , those colors now are so strong :)

[spoiler][IMG]http://i63.tinypic.com/opb4m9.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] Fixed the names fixed Fendi spots Fixed the lines Changed the colors

other things to work on. width is 1022. there's still the 4 corner issue that Fendi pointed out. in Britanny region. (Loudeac/Saint Morala/Saint Malo/Loreef)

What is wrong with the width being 1022? Fixed the 4 corner problem though

[spoiler=Previous Demo][IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/2h713cz.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [url=http://i67.tinypic.com/2h713cz.jpg]100% view[/url] [spoiler=Latest Demo][IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/iwow9f.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] [url=http://i68.tinypic.com/iwow9f.jpg]100% view[/url] This map was started back when our procedures were different. The reason I haven't given permission for this map to continue is that I feel the game-play & set-up stage was overlooked or rushed. After many amendments, there are still a lot of label & border issues. The look of the map is definitely a lot better, but graphics should always come after the rest is set up. [b]I think it would be best to start with a blank map and present the borders & labels and connections to discuss and amend (with very basic colouring).[/b] On fictional maps, the label names aren't important, but on Geographic Maps, they have to be accurate with a little compromise for game-play and location priority. If the set-up goes well and the map shows real potential & interest, then you should add the look and feel of the Latest Demo.

That's fine. Let's just start with the UK. At this scale, the visible map has 100+ cities & towns and the borders of [b]those used[/b] are incorrect. [b]It is usually better to use Counties or Boroughs at this scale.[/b] Wales' actual counties have changed from 8 to 22 recently (for bias voting reasons), so it's best to use the [i]old counties[/i] 1944. For reference: I have added the southern UK counties map with one amended county in Wales: [i]West, Mid & South Glamorgan[/i] have been merged into [i]Glamorgan[/i]. I have also added a Southern England counties map.

[b]Your current dimensions of both UK & France are compressed (squashed), they need to be corrected. [/b] *Note: "Channel" spelling.

been looking for the bottom part of the map and I can not find one for that time frame...so where can I get one? Got the one from Leedog way back when
