@Poseidonas, i'll invite you to the test maps once they are prepared (don't expect them to be made for quite some time)

If anyone else wants to be invited to the test maps (of a large and detailed Westeros map) then speak up now because you can't put 'open seats' on test maps

Egypt, but I am ignoring all of the borders in real life, on that way you don't have really big countries in the south and very small countries near the Nile.

Has anyone got any tips on making a complicated flag in a nice way? In this case Egypt.

Bonuses will probably be something like this: 'Ice cream flavors', 'Islands in the East sea' and 'Pets'
Territory's will probably be something like this: 'Claim of Choclate Ice Cream', 'Claim of cats' and 'Claim of The Åland Islands'

Also, the map is in a pretty early stage at the moment, it will become more attractive.

I'm currently working on making complicated flags for this map: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41681

I find the best way to make images with vector graphics is to trace it and use the dropper tool in inkscape to copy colors from the original image. Hope that helps.

Hmmm... lets see...

Right now, I'm working on a 538-territory map of the United States, with states being allocated territories equal to the number of electoral votes that they get. (So, basically, the Electoral College.) The territories are decided within states (mainly) based on population, with some alterations made to better suit a Warlight map.

Electoral College: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29
Map Preview (I'm done up to PA/MD now): https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41865

(Side note: While there is a map based off of the Electoral College in Warlight, it's one of the worst in terms of bonus balance. I'm aiming for a decently balanced map that'd work for big battles.

Second Note: I have no intention of doing a map based on congressional districts. Some of those districts are really badly gerrymandered. (Look at North Carolina, for one.)

Bane, could you update your list? I'm putting Sinae to Britannia on hold to do the World in 1939 - it seemed everyone wanted me to do the latter first.

This is it by the way - https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=41751

zxc, unless youve abandoned it, see no reason to remove it altogether. I like that map you linked too.

Damn! I was going to do a ski map. Guess I'll do a snowboard map instead.

In all seriousness you showed me yours and now I have to whip it out.

1st project - This map is similar to an old map I made with a friend based off of the Genghis Khan NES game.

https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=15549

The original had some problems but a few good ideas also. The layout wasn't great and it was also hard for people to understand. I liked the bonus structure of the map. I also like the idea of being able to rearrange the tiles to make alternate versions with minimal effort. For the new map I've made the territories and bonus relationships more obvious. It's a work in progress and I'll probably move some stuff around.

If anyone wants this SVG set up an alt and give me the info and I'll upload it for you. Then you can make your own arrangement.

Another map I've been working on is a bit more straight forward. Still a lot to do.

It's not actually a Khan map. The original was and was designed to look like the NES game but the new one is generic. I've just been referring to it as "the tile map".

The first link is the Khan map which was published in 2012. I just posted it for reference. The second link is the new map. You can call it : tile map, hexagon mess, Blort's clusterfuck or whatever you like.

My Zelda map is 99% finished, and I could use some input.

there are two types of bunuses, one regular groups of territories like usual, and the other are single territory bonuses based on locations in the game the map is based on. Right now I have those bonuses' values based relative to the worth of that item/location in the game. I'm wondering if this makes the map basically lopsided based on pick, even if i set up a template where players started in certain spots. Should I keep these territories the way they are (barring a few tweaks) or change them ALL to 1s and -1s?

heres the link: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=38062


*edit: the quad bonus values are too much, i know this

Looks great and brings back memories. Hopefully you can get it tweaked for a fair match.
