Map of New York City

I wanted it lighter, not brighter, there is a difference. After thorpe is done with it I have a couple modifications I'd like to try out.

Well if you are going for a lighter ocean then I would like it to be more or less like this one: http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8748/newyork4light.jpg And when I said 'darker blue' I was thinking more like this: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6568/newyork4dark.jpg I can see how the lighter version is somewhat better and I can also see how both these maps now look like the San Francisco map. But I think its mostly because of the ocean texture, both San Franciscos and New Yorks look sort of similar.

I think the color they have is better, it just needs the saturation reduced.

Will be working it soon.

Ok, Here's what I did: - modified the ocean color - lowered the opacity of the ocean texture layers - added an additional ocean texture layer and shading layer - redid the text for the ocean labels and mini map - changed the angle of the diagonal land texture - cleaned up the outline a bit New version: http://dominating12.com/forums/Map_Creation_Forum_Images/Risk%20Map%20-%20New%20York.jpg Old version: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/2658/newyork4.jpg The map can still be improved. At some point I might consider redoing the territory labels but I just don't have the time right now. The outline could also be much better but it's too much work for me to do. But I think the map is good enough for now. We can always polish it up a bit later. 200 posts already on this map. Insane.

1. I like newer version... it seems cleaner and a bit crisper. 2. Same with airports. 3. Ocean looks better and like the color of text on oceans and rivers. 4. Also agree with Vexer's statement: "But I think the map is good enough for now. We can always polish it up a bit later." 5. Thorpe or Vexer keeping this in their file storage for future changes would be nice because I was originally planning on removing from computer once posted. 6. I have full faith in Thopre and Vexer's map making skills and any future changes to make map better I would personally endorse. 7. Though, only change I would consider on new version would be to move "2" in Bronxville on mini-map over to right a little.

It's been a long, strange journey concerning this map and I counted, and this map was posted with changes on this forum 31 different times. :o

Im not sure about the ocean font. The old one was sometimes bad quality, a bit too thin. But the idea was good. And now suddenly it looks like its a hyperlink. Maybe just give it a different colour :S

Well, Leedog liked the color but after you mentioned hyperlinks I don't think I'd ever be able to look at it again without thinking that so I adjusted the color. If you can detect slight variations it's because the color is determined algorithmically pixel by pixel depending on what is underneath. I think it's better now so I'm glad you said something and I hope it's good enough for you now. - adjusted the mini map to match better - added a little texture to the airports, they were flat before - moved the 2 on the mini map over per leedog - darkened the ocean a bit for Fendi http://dominating12.com/forums/Map_Creation_Forum_Images/Risk%20Map%20-%20New%20York2.jpg

Hate the new update. Its really horrible! Joking. It looks great. Really nice work all. Its much easier on the eyes (or I should probably say my eyes) now thanks to Vexer. Like it A Lot.

Thank you, its really good now!

There were some spelling mistakes on the map so I decided to redo the text at the same time. I could not get that font to be clear no matter what I did so I chose a new one. Hope you guys like it. http://dominating12.com/forums/Map_Creation_Forum_Images/Risk%20Map%20-%20New%20York3.jpg We are about half way done inputting the map into the system but we still need caps done. Who wants to volunteer?

I think this font works better than the last one. Nice done.

I find it odd that the orange territories are not in the orange colored region.

I agree Glanru ...one would think that should have been done that way. Nice font and I can read it a lot better.
