Re: New Map: Antilarium
Shame it isn't wrappable as is.
The water provinces are perhaps a wee bit too big to me, but apart from that it looks great.

Re: New Map: Antilarium
Wow, nice look! So you did that all within Photoshop? That's amazing.
The only negative thing I could say about it would be that the mountains look a bit odd being transparent.

Re: New Map: Antilarium
Great water-colour effect dude. Sounds like a great map.

Re: New Map: Antilarium
Cool map! Thanks.  I look forward to playing on it.
My three cents: I agree that the ghost mountains are a bit funky to the eye. Also, I wish that it was higher resolution so that it still was so pretty when one zoomed in.

Re: New Map: Antilarium
Pros and Cons. High resolution means longer downloads, and longer load times within the game. Sometimes even crashes on scrolling.
Not that it affects me personally but Ive had complaints when Ive made maps that work for myself but were too much for other peoples machines.

Re: New Map: Antilarium
That's a good point, but you can get pretty darn close up on Glory of the Gods. Is that map too big for many people's machines?

Re: New Map: Antilarium
I've started two games on this map, Late Age, with 11 random AIs on impossible. It's been fun, but there are some oddities:
Both times four or five nations went dominion-kill on the first turn. I'm not sure if this is a problem, or if I started with too many opponents.
I continued playing the second game I started. It's a lively game and no one else has vanished, but some of the special indy provinces have serious starvation problems. For example, the Ulm-based one on the north of the map disintegrated over the course of several turns.
