World Double

Just a rough mock up. Anyone who wants to take this concept and run with it may do so with my compliments.

this is cool. the minimap wouldnt be necessary if the bonuses were similarly displayed like the way baltic sea presents it. The world map is recognizeable (DON'T OMIT NEW ZEALAND!) we are a small nation but we are world beaters. http://www.greatestsportingnation.com/

I have to agree with Hoodlum, we should make every effort to keep the map geographically accurate whilst we have the chance to make it so and because we are not stuck to an existing game play (apart from the land where no borders have changed), we can also incorporate additions to the game. There is no reason why we can't involve NZ even if it can't be added to the Australasia bonus, it should at least be an extra territory without a bonus.

Well I have nothing against New Zealand (the previous comment was just a joke), but I think the World Double should have twice the World Classic territories. The Baltic bonus is not encouraged. A minimap should at least be tried.

I actually think this concept could be interesting.

Not digging that Maori type font, it doesn't suit this map. I like what you did with NZ, incorporating it into Eastern Australia. This is what I meant by adding it to the Australia Bonus. I like some of the land colours, but that red is way too intense. The grey background makes it look "unfinished".

That territory with no name is part of Greenland. Since you should remove 2 sea-connection lines and move the "Greenland" tag on the West to make clear Greenland is all that area. Europe and Africa have similar size and similar defensibility, but bonuses are so different, one of the 2 should be adjusted or both.

Has it already been discussed adding a connection line from Brazil to S. Africa? Maybe move the connection line between Kamchatka/Alaska down (or up on the bottom half lol) a little so that it's more noticeable on the Kamchatka side. Scandinavia not Scandanavia :P Other than the topsy turvy feel making me confused I think it looks good. The font's nice, but a little overdone maybe :D Something a little plainer would be better I think. Lakes Tanganiyka and Malawi? They're just about as big as Victoria. It's not a concern, I just like how well done the Great Lakes in US are, so why not more of a good thing? :P Good start!

I am in favour of adding a coonection line between Brazil and S.Africa_2 as per Naathim's suggestion. If you find the place I would prefer "Europe" because "Euro" is a currency.

I can see two "China_2", the lower one must be "Irkutsk_22. And please put Tunisia as part of North Africa not Egypt (like it is in every Risk board) so that is clear it is connected to S.Europe. I guess I wont have any problem to set 2 capitals perfectly equal!!

[spoiler][img]http://oi59.tinypic.com/11qsnwp.jpg[/img][/spoiler] Changes from the feedback. font changed to something plainer and readable. Connection between Kam/Alaska more readable. New connection added South Africas/Brazils. Eliminated 2 unecessary connection lines and placed greenland label in proposed location. *Bonuses changed. I only jotted them down originally for inset placement, so it wasn't calculated, but changed Africa and Europe to a compromised count of 4 for this edit. Corrected spelling Scandinavia, corrected the double up, name change for Egypt/Tunisia Colour change, font/red region less harsh background from grey to blue. Circle placements and label replacements.

Connection between the two E. Australia's?

Great, thanks Hoodlum. There is just a couple of things: - The territory name is Egypt... No let it fall, tomorrow I will post an image. it is not your fault I am not able to explain it well with words. - S.Africa--Brazil_2 should be like Brazil--S.Africa_2 so that you gain the space for Madagascar tag that you missed. - I think black text is better but with the new font. And I would keep title and bonuses as they were before. - I like the new colours better than the previous

@Naathim, or how about a connection between the two NZ's? :) an extra two territories total 86!
