A full frame may be what you have to end up going with for the castles.

The borders: perfect.

I would like to suggest again that you add a comma after "But beware," as it adds to the narrative instructions you're giving there.

I'm going to agree with Andy, you don't have much choice but to make it a full wood frame. Either that or take smaller, less "breach-worthy" pieces out of the border.

The continent bonuses don't seem to go in any particular order, making it hard for me to match them up at first glance. Is there an order I'm missing?

I dunno. I had an easier time before. I don't think this issue is solved in either version though.

Maybe go back to the old style, but include stray colours in the middle of territories. The old borders looked like they were drawn with a crayon. So maybe just have some squigglies like you're going to fill in the rest later.

here's an easy fix to the castle-attack question: change the legend to read "Attack Castle Gates from the territory within which they lie." By adding "Gates" you are being more specific; by changing "it" to "they" you are maintaining the plural subject throughout, by changing "through" to "from" you are more accurately representing the action, and by changing the word order you remove the preposition from the end of the sentence.

Hmmm... who teaches middle school english? 8-[

That will be added when i rearrange the legend for oaktown.

There was an order but it got lost when i was rearranging everything, i will try to set up a suitable order.

I could make rough look coloured in if that is what you mean...

That should solve the problem, will correct my terrible english in the legend.

Being english i dont go to a middle school, but my english is terrible, i have no sense of grammer, and can only spell because of my spell check :lol:

But that neither here, nor there.

Do people think i should change the legend/title to have wooden borders, or there current look?

by **AndyDufresne** on Mon May 26, 2008 9:13 pm

Hm, regarding the legend and title having a border...I suppose I'm indifferent...though maybe I just slightly lean more toward some sort of frame for them both.

This just goes to show the wide and reaching depths of knowledge the C.A.'s contain.

Sorry i started work on siege 2 and my exams came along, so this was driven out of my mind and i completely forgot about this.

You're coming up on three months without an update, telvania, and in the interest of keeping the Foundry clean we'd like to move maps that sit that long. If you don't think you'll be back at this soon, I'm going to [vacation] tag it and put it in the Scrap Heap (from which it can re-emerge at your request).

by **Telvannia** on Tue Aug 05, 2008 4:14 pm

It was actually updated in june (several posts above you) i forgot to edit the first post though.

But i think this will have to go on vacation for now, i will come back to it some time.

Ok, two months... I'll vacation it and put in the Heap, but it'll be stickied. Let me know when you want to pull it out.
