alright,i have started the sketch and found(to my dissapointment)its more complicated then you would think,it was also hard thinking up names..also,i have many arrows indicating what can attack what and so forth..its very messy right now so i have fix that,but the version i will give you will have a lot of arrow indicators so i dont know what you will do with that...all in all its going farely well and i hope to give you it by next saturday if i can :)

i was thinking,should i list the rules of the game on the scoreboard,or would that be stupid???
Vexer wrote:
what exactly do you mean by rules of the game?

The only way to avoid using arrows would be to make the territories bigger so that the all touch. it would be preferable to not have arrows. we already have one confusing map with a bunch of arrows. but there may still be places where arrows will be required

rules for game as in bonuses and stuff...my first draft(mainly the infield)has a lot of arrows...bases would look weird if they were touching...what i am basically doing is making this map and all the territories(not as much artistic features...but i will do my best to make it look decent and you guys can add on to that..so there are a lot of arrows,but we can take some away as we edit this map...is that okay???

the base would be it's normal size but you can make the territory known as first base include some surrounding grass and dirt so that first base and second base touch half between them so that you don't have to have an arrow.

i didn't see crystal's post before but here is a link to the map on CC that she was talking about:
http://maps.conquerclub.com/Baseball2.L.jpg

I agree with her that I don't like the complexity of the custom rules for that map but take a look at how they divided up the field.

Your map is going to be better cause it won't be cheesy and it will include the stands and dugout etc.

alright,i will try that,would it be alright if i included some color on the map,it helps with the look..you guys could always change the colors after word

i worked late last night creating my first draft,i am going to make one more version and post that one when its done...can the outfield have arrows??for what i am doing i think it makes sense,also,there needs to be an arrow from the mound to the home plate..dugouts connect to the stands meaning i had to do arrows unless i can think of another way...lastly,some of the stands can attack some of the bases....i have made it about 41 territories..i dont like making any positions in the field other than the real ones..but if i dont make any up any new ones there will be some arrows(its not confusing at all,trust me)...so should i do it like conquerclub in that sense,or my way??? i think it would look nicer with out all those extras places included but its really up to you guys what i should do

i thought of another way to connect bases(vexer,unless i overdo it that wont work) okay,i was thinking of a white line running from first to second,to third,to home.what do you think???
Vexer wrote:
white lines could work, arrows are fine as long as they are clean looking and not too many of them. Add whatever color you want. this is just a rough draft so go wild.

one thing that hasn't been discussed is regions. With 41 territories there should be at least 6 regions. A couple worth 2, a couple worth 3, a 4 and a 5 would be nice.  I can help you with this once I see the map.

alright,around the bases i am going to white lines...i am also going to do some arrows..now,i am doing this on paper so it may look a little messy but when its photoshopped it will look very clean i think..also,i have 6-7 regions,you can help me with the bonuses...last thing,in the in the diamond there will be two colore(brownish yellow and green)i was thinking they could be seperate regions but if you get both you get an added bonus...the draft will be done soon :)..is there anything else you want me to add????i am not doing too many details as far as the map is concerned(we can add them after)

we could probably get away with that if we use a mini map to show the region bonuses. we can do the mini map with photoshop, just leave room for it.

okay,sounds good..i have been working on my final draft(i have made about 3 but this is by far the best)...so,do you want me to draw a score board sticking up or something...btw,i am not too much of an artist but i am doing my best and i hope the site likes it..(i think it looks cool)..also,you must know that this IS A DRAWING meaning it wont be perfect..thats what photoshop is for...but i did measure the sides and everything.Also,i have outlined everything in black to give it a crisp look..there are some arrows and some lines to indicate what can attack what..i will also explain some extra bonuses and such(you can help me with main region bonuses)..i hope you like it when its posted :)
