It was no real problem,just something random :p

I think I will hold off on reworking Thebes,since they do not need to be changed visually and I managed to drop the size from 1,024 kb to 827 kb by removing paths

I will probably go on to make Thessalia or Sparte

I'd like to know your opinions about the placement of Sicily.Does it look good?

Update:

Just added Thessalia and reworked Evia.It should look much smoother and less messy now.

What I find surprising is that,despite adding territories,the file size has shrinked(799 kb as of now),which is quite promising

Update:

Finished the island of Crete,along whit Rhodos and most of the Cyclades.

Current file size is 955 kb,I might have to rework Thebes soon.

Looks good. :D

Με τις τιμές που βάζεις σε κάθε μπόνους, χάνεται η στρατηγική αξία του χάρτη

Δεν ξέρω αν αναφέρεσαι στο γεγονός ότι έχω μπόνους για κάθε περιοχή ή για το ότι σχεδόν όλα αξίζουν 4

Αν ισχύει το πρώτο,αυτόν τον χάρτη τον φτιάχνω για παιχνίδια διπλωματίας,όχι ffa ή κάτι τέτοιο.

Αν ισχύει το δεύτερο,θα τα αλλάξω όλα αργότερα,απλά είναι πιο εύκολο να τα έχω ως 4 προς το παρόν

Γενικά,προτιμώ τους χάρτες με μπόνους σε κάθε περιοχή.Εξ'άλλου,όποιος θέλει απενεργοποιεί τα μπόνους της κάθε περιοχής και κρατάει τα μεγάλα τριγωνικά

Translation:

I don't know if you are referring to that fact that I have a bonus for every territory,or that almos every bonus is worth 4

If the former is true,I am making this map for diplomacy games,not ffa or something similar

If the latter is true,I'll change all of them later,it's just easier to have every bonus as 4 for now

Generally,I prefer maps with bonuses on every territory.After all,anyone can disable the territorial bonuses and use the big triangular ones

May I inform you that progress may be a bit slower the next couple of days,as I am a bit burned out and I am feeling like working on the lore for another map for now.

-Says progress will be slower in the next couple of days

-Proceeds to make that entire nation of Sparte in that time period

Anyways,the file is currently sitting at 1.187 kb,which probably means I'll have to rework Thebai

Hi
It seems like your main issue depends on the file size. If you want to fill the entire landmass shown on your sketch with territories you wont even get close to half complete the map. Right now you have less than 20% done, which means your map will have more than 5mb in the end. But if you abandon vast areas you might be good.

Is that count good enough

compaired to this

There are way too many dots. you can easily delete 75% without losing the shape, remember that you can still make manual adjustments after simplifying the shape or manually deleting the points. All those points increase your map size intensively, without adding any benefit. If you dont decrease their number you wont be able to upload the map in the end..

furthermore the frame for Sicily, is another waste of memory size and on top of that it looks incredibly stupid and unreasonable. Its only benefit will be to confuse the player. better follow the recommendation by 1416 and increase the width of your map towards the west.
My last advice: if you use inkscape, save your file as normal svg, not as inkscape svg. this will reduce the memory size by 20% and is even more compatible with the warlight editor.

All right,let's get answering:

I will not include most of Thrace,parts of South Italy and northern Expirus,and territories of the Persian Empire will be comparable to provinces(the triangle bonuses).I believe If I manage to rework Thebai and use that optimization thing mentioned in another thread,I will be able to do it.

I really do not want to simplify and manually readjust my borders since it will take a lot of time and effort,and will make the map look worse.

Unfortunately,I cannot fit the entirety of sicily I the map due to the size restrictions,so I decided to put it on the side in order to not break it in pieces.The square barely adds any nodes and I can get rid of the text anyways.

I would like to know how to save the file as a regular,non-inkscape svg,could you please inform me?

Edited 7/27/2016 20:40:54

simply chose the different file-option when you save your svg.

Thanks :)

Shaved 240 kb by converting it to normal .svg

Update:

Added Makedonia,Athenian allies in Aitolia and the rest of the Ionian islands.

File is currently at 1.110 kb

Looks awesome, keep going. ;)

So I will be doing all the islands first.It is a fucking pain to find all the Greek names for the west coast of Asia Minor,since most of the maps are in Turkish.Will probably have pretty sparse territoriesin those areas.

Also,I coloured each group of Athenian allies differently.It is not exactly historical,since I prioritize how the map will play out.Let me know what you think

try using this map for naming anatolia/asia minor

Also try and have more of ship warfare.

Looks really good, especially for your first map :). I would have personally gone with multiple territory bonuses, but the diplomacy style is still liked by many.

Don't know if you've seen, but this may come in useful somehow (my smaller strategic version): https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=45151
