To help our old eyes, for the text box on the bottom right. Does the word "exactly" need to be there? Owning 1 or 2, Owning 3...etc... is kind of the same thing.

Temple Bonus
-1 for owning 1 or 2
0 for owning 3
etc...
+14 for owning all 7 (Again this emphasizes how many temples there are in total)

then maybe with less words the font can be increased cause I agree it is tough to read a little. :)
Hi there!

Yeah, actually "do the math..." is not really amazing, but you guys got the sense of it.
I kinda agree with this:
God_of_War
What if you make the furthest left box taller (extending it down) and at the bottom you include "Own up to 21 Temple Pairs" and then remove the text box that is at the bottom; thus having only 2 text boxes instead of 3. I don't see the "do the math" part as a necessary piece as it may draw some humor the 1st time it is read, but will be meaningless beyond that.
I like owning as verb, yes I'm convinced now.
"All", "them all", "the 7 of them" or "all 7 temples" are all equally good for me.
Watch the grammar please @Hoodlun, "its" is adjective, no apostrophe there! The minus sign, great, but the number has not to be apart.
The word "exactly" has a logical-mathematical meaning here. Linguistically a bit annoying but necessary imo to avoid confusion and to avoid inconsistence with the first banner.

edit 2 minimap experiment (click to show)

this edit, these edits. got rid of the 'do the math'. corrected speeling. enlarged the font a pixel, some label movement. it's hard to fit region names. was thinking perhaps using the temple symbols instead to identify them. current minimap regions kind of gets lost in there. attempted something different (was a painful effort)

I would move the banner on the left even downer. Perhaps aligning the bottoms of the two banners.
We want the left one to be read as first, I know it, but even if aligned the left one is normally the first a player reads because it's taller, so it's also upper.

edit 3 (click to show)

banner aligned down, added bishops icons. moved some labels and trees around to accommodate for fit.
also..any particular reason the sun symbol is placed under the triangle unlike the other symbols?

No no... the reason is just that I couldn't fit it over the temple on the original version,
Now that I see it better I would like to move the Moon temple from Clown Loach to Piranha.

Great job, I like it! Thanks Hoodlum!
I think it's ready for beta. There are no test games in progress right now.
So I'll let you have the honour to change the graphics, I'll adjust the other things: circles placement and 1 small bonus territory change.

i have a question. on temple play stands that u get +1 for any pair. on temple bonus stands that you get -1 for owning exactly 2 temples, which is a pair.
isnt it contradictive?

The_Bishop wrote:
One pair is worth +1, true, however two temples are worth twice −1.
The resulting bonus is: +1−2 = −1.

On the left side you have the RULE, on the right side you have the RESULTS.

EDIT: maybe we should call them something like:
Temple Rules (left)
Brief on Revenues (right)

ok..this made it easier to understand lol.
but what about...Pyramid Scheme and Pyramid Scam? lol

i dont think changing the titles makes much difference in understanding the math. 'Brief of Revenue' makes me tune out, reminds me of paperwork

"Incomes" perhaps, i don't know...

I'm just noticing now that in both banners text needs to be centered better. Both titles are touching the frame on top, while there is empty room at the bottom.

while some things were easier to do with the paint program, alignment wasn't one of them, i had to keep switching between different programs to get it right, especially with mouse control.
i did intentionally put the titles close to the banner to allow room for edit adjustments. but yeah i could now centre it better. but ill wait until where satisfied with what's written

Yeah the text might still change, right; and even the map name should be discussed I think.

One more thing, for now I used the old map spot in the system bcoz much easier for me to enter the map. But actually this is a new map, similar to the old one but not the same anymore. Someone is even nostalgic about the original J.o' D. So what, is it fine if I replace it in the system? or should I create a new spot for this one and keep the old one inactive?
