Not for me... the blockiness of it bothers my eyes or something.

I take it the random black spots are supposed to be lakes or something similar?

Also, one recommendation is to make sure the bonus borders don't overlap. I can see from that map that Sarmatia overlaps Scythia so that only one color is visible at any given time. Easy enough tweak with inkscape though.

Sorry if that's the case. The original map was done just like that: blocky. Yes, the black spots are supposed to be lakes, and I can probably fix the borders easily.

No need to apologize... just not my style is all. To each their own. Better map than most first efforts I have seen.

I'll join second test, as long as its not today cause i'm gonna be busy all day...

hi i made my first map really excited to get testing how do i do it?>

Well lerizzle, you put the map version to testing on the Design Maps page and then simply create a game with it. I suggest using a multiplayer game because other people can catch design errors you might have missed.

Well, I must say it's the first map I see that is composed of "blocks".

lerizzle
that map is riddled with missing connections..

Perrin3088 is right, lerizzle. You might also want to show oversea connections with a line so people don't get confused about which territories that one island connects to.

I had started to list them, but I had found at least 7 land based connections that were missing, and I was edging on late for work so..

Bumped. Do you think I should make the map less block, as many people are complaining about the looks of it. Another thing I need to ask is if the eastern edges of the map (India and China) should be extended as to add more territories. What do you guys think?

I like the look of it.
and expanding it a bit, would be cool.

Also expand to the north, I think extra parts of Russia and Scandinavia would make the map look better, and more fun to play!

expand a bit but pls make it les blocthy

Bump, will there be a test game or can you please submit the map so i can play it?

Sorry. Still adding parts of India, China, and Russia. I want the map to be as historically accurate as possible, dating back to 272 BC, so it's going to take a while.

And yes, there will be a second test game. Anyone else want to join for the second test?

Me, and ohhh it seems twice as awesome, and finally someone doing more maps from historical periods

Also, how long will it take till test game (so i have an idea of what day to check)

I'm always in for test games!
