can you go back to V32?
I liked that much more than this new version. The red glow just doesn't work for me. i liked it more without the extra red.

The problem was that people were saying that it didnt feel "swiss" enough, so i was just trying out new things.

I way prefer the previous verisons. Although - i do like the new mountain range you came up with. Would you consider trying to place those new mountains into the old map?

I like the neutral area. I like the balance of the continent colours.

I don't like the pink between each continent or on the legend.

I like the mountains on the new version too.

please move the Vaud army circle somewhat near the label.


I know I've brought this up before and that you have the gameplay stamp but I'm not fond of your gameplay here. there's what...30 territories? I dunno it just seems like you have too many tough to hold continents. I know you've based it on real-life separations (though I can't remember what they are exactly) but considering the small size, I'm not sure that this type of gameplay will make for a good map. I not totally sold on it being bad but I dunno it seems like the +2 continent will be extremely powerful in that it'd be grabbed first and whoever has it will be able to stop anyone else from holding a bonus. I mean, the green continent only has 5 territories but 4 of those are borders. So, you might be able to pick it up quickly but it seems unlikely to be able to hold it. All the other continents have many borders as well but also have many territories so these are less likely to be grabbed.

FOr the last part, do you think making it worth +1 will be better?

I don't think so. I mean it's like cleaning out a polluted lake instead of making sure the chemicals don't get dumped in the lake. The +2 is fine. It's all the other continents that are the problem. that's just my opinion though. you do have a gameplay stamp but no harm in trying to make it better.

There are aspects of the newer version I really like, and others I don't.

I'm not convinced that Swiss=Red. Yes they have a red flag, but the things I think of about Switzerland are skiing, banking, cuckoo clocks and swiss cheese...

Sorry it's not very helpful :? although I like the suggestion about mixing the mountains from the newer version into your earlier one ;-)

Hmm... not exactly as i expected - I'm torn between the 2. I might go for the newer mountains with a bit work done to them.

I agree. They just need to stand out a bit more in my opinion.

I still don't like the red glow around the edge of the land, but other than that, it looks great.
good job.

yes please. I think changing the red to a blue-gray color would work nicely. Dark blue-gray, but not too dark. Just a simple shadow around it all.

YES.
I like it.

EDIT: but make the boxes in the corners blue to match. now the red there doesn't fit with the rest.

Wheres the terretorie line between Bern and brig?

The montions down in Uri, Ticinio and brig is a bit cramped hard to see where the terretories can attack Any way to make it more clear?

Also the blue colour seem to cross over to to uri and brig over the terrtorieline pliss make it so its goes over any places this way it will look more clear.
