I recently completed a called Orbis Veteribus Notus, a detailed map of the Latin known world around the year 0BC (https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41700). The problem is that, when I tried to make it public, it was rejected and because the bonus icon for a bonus called Iazyges apparently overlapped the armies, but I simply don't see how this makes sense:

As you can see, there is plenty of room in Iazyges, so what's happened?

There was no year 0

Oh, that must've been a typo. I meant to write year 1.

anyway, the map looks interesting

Nice map bro

But lets not forget Romans also traded with the Chinese , you really should have added China as well


Also 1648 map you did with other people is the the bomb and you rock ! Keep goin'

Thanks الإسلام هو الدين الحق! It's really nice to have the support. About China, I can't include it. Orbis Veteribus Notus is a map that already exists, all I've done is convert into a WarLight map.

Saying that Romans traded with Chinese is a huge overstatement. They barely even met each other with far away ambassadors.

It looks interesting. I don't want to criticise, but one thing you might want to think about is the different sized territories near the edges.

It's not a requirement, just in the guidelines:

https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Map_guidelines

As an example, Carrodunum and Tanais are only actually 3 moves apart, even though they have a lot of space between.

I like the way you've made the cities, I can see where you've made the "house" shapes black outlined for them, maybe putting a thicker border or something might help draw the eye to them when glancing over the map?

In regards to the troop numbers, perhaps Fizzer was thinking along the lines of 3 and 4 digit numbers? I think generally he's not a fan of small territories. You could perhaps increase the width and height of the SVG file? That might help without making any major changes, just a suggestion, please don't bite my head off! :)

I know thats not the topic, but this map looks so damn cool, I cant even explain it in words!

Chinese and Romans probably traded via the Silk Road. Not directly.

Testing the map was very fun.

Fleece,nobody can bite your head off ;)

Fleecemaster: The borders of territories are automatically set at a certain width, so I can't change them. The SVG is also already at its maximum size, so there's no room for maneuver there either. However, this isn't so much of a problem, because the requirement is for only for a 2-digit number to fit.

Typo mate - says Jazyges, not Iazyges when you dwell on the bonus on the map

Maybe it's that simple

Try this to decrease the sgv size if you didn't already do that. It worked with my map and it will probably decrease the size with 25%.

It's fine now. After explaining it to Fizzer via email, he suggested I re-submit it for publishing, and it's now public.

Amazing map. I can't even imagine how much potential that has.

Thanks for the clarification zxctycxz, I didn't know it was only a 2 digit requirement. Glad the map is public, it looks fun :)

With the borders I was thinking maybe you could add an image that would make the border look a little thicker, it's not really important, just a thought for when glancing over the map, to help make the major cities stand out :)

HELL YEAH. MY NAME IS ON A MAP MOTHER F*CKERS. YOU CAN OFFICIALLY SUCK IT.

P.s. Yeeeeeeehhh buddeh.
