Kingdom of Karan and Targa

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.

Same here. Map looks great, has variety and chokepoints and gives a different experience based on where you start.
Have I said it looks great yet?

If this was the (visual) quality of the maps the game was shipped with, the reviews and perhaps sales might have been even better.

I like the size as well. Since I play SP only, by the time I've got a third of the map conquered and several Level 9 research levels reached, mopping up is fast and furious.

And on the other hand the mapsize is sufficient to allow the AI players to do their thing (for some reason this often includes casting bl**dy Burden of Time) while I build up my position during the opening phase.

(Im just kidding. Yes its a great map. A new standard to shoot for)

Same here. I hate him (her?) for that.

I also want to do these nifty 3D effects.

Torvak, just DL'ed your map. Rest assured it is far above what we ask, from a artistic standpoint. Your is very enjoyable and beautiful too. Its the difference between 'very good' and 'excellent' (no offence ment!).

I feel the urge to voice my agreement. Not only is it great to look at, but I feel it's well balanced and highly interesting for its gameplay value, as well, and that counts even more.

You and Tiltowait both are probably the best thing in mapmaking the Dominionscommunity could hope for... would the two of you do a map together?
