Default Re: Kingdom of Karan and Targa

the map is awesome, both from the visuals and from the depth. Once you start to play it for more than 2 or 3 times you will notice there is actually STRATEGY in the map foundation itself, like the seas and stuff, and how the provines are made up. REALLY the best map out there.

I wouldnt another nice map, but i guess it must be hours if not days to make a map like this with all the photoshopping and scripting

anyway, REALLY awesome Targa, imho the best map !

Definitely an outstanding map - thanks Targa!

The thing I like most about it (besides the appearance) is the size. It's nice to have a m/p map that doesn't require 13 players like Orania, since once you get up above 10 players or so games tend to slow down quite a bit.

I'm definitely looking forward very much to anything Targa releases in the future.

Im glad you made this post Zen because I have been wanting to ask "Where has Targa been?" I want to send him money to make more maps for us. I have not seen him on the Boards lately.

I agree I am enjoying Karan a whole lot to! Thanks Targa! That map is just perfect in size, why do you guys want them any larger?

Because it's fun I haven't been playing on anything else but the world map since it came out.

Well, I'll add my voice to the choir...

Yay Targa!

I play on a lot of the maps, but only two with any regularity: Orania, and Targa's fantastic Karan map. I usually use Karan to test out new stuff, to try differences in indie strength, and so on. I love it and can't wait for your next map!

Gotta agree - great job Targa!

I especially like the fact that mountains are barriers - there are a great amount of chokepoints and such which give provinces a strategic value, plus which it's very nice to look at - all your effort is worth it in my opinion, and please continue to make maps for Dom II.
