Re: Ethiopia: [3.8.12] V04 - Draft

Postby tkr4lf on Tue Sep 04, 2012 11:31 am

I don't know, the boxes don't bother me, and it didn't take me long to find them on the map. But, the majority are bothered by them, so probably better to change it.

I like the colors, and the mountains especially. Very nice.

I have to disagree with nolefan, I quite like the bridges. But that's pretty subjective I think, so whatever on that point.

All in all, very nice so far. That border is cool, fits very well with the Ethiopia theme.

I think you have been here too long cairns. Time for you to move on and get some game play feedback in the main foundry. As always good luck.

I think it stems from Nola_Lifers comment above. Our names are similar. Not a big deal, lol.

Very nice cairnswk, as always 8-)

I think this should be moved forward, its way past draft stage, gameplay and graphics are where the discussion goes :P

At this point I have nothing to add, becourse I know, the small graphic adjustment Iv seen needed, you already are aware of, otherwise Il be back :lol:

This looks fun. I like that it's a continuation of another map.

The neutrals for the cities can probably lowered. 5 neutrals on a map this small almost guarantees they will never be taken even as part of the bonus.

Is there a reason why N. Afar starts as neutral? Is this for the golden number? If so, I would suggest making it a region with less importance as far as moving across the map...a region like SSW Oromia, SBG, or NBG.

As far as the bonuses are concerned, they all look good, but you might think about increasing the bonus for the continent that contains DIre Dawa to a +4 and the continent that contains N. Afar to a +3.

As it appears development on this map has stalled (see below), this map is being Moved to the Recycling Bin for the time being. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the Foundry Moderators will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. :)

I know you're caught up in uni cairns, so once you've updated this one, I will move it back to the MFW.

In that case, you'd better bin all the vacation maps since it is long past their "valid to" date :idea:

Version 5.
"Building" on map have been changed.
This might make it clearer for some.

OK, lowered to 3.

No, it has more to do with the drop probability on a 3 region continent. We all know that is usually solved with placement of a neutral. Same with E/W SSNPR

As far as the bonuses are concerned, they all look good, but you might think about increasing the bonus for the continent that contains DIre Dawa to a +4 and the continent that contains N. Afar to a +3.

Done in V5 for all continents that contain a "building". but N.Afar contintent left at +2....it doesn't contain a "building".

Sorry, koontz. can't wait for you...
all bonuses up for review of course...and all very indicative of the country.
1. added coffee bonus
2. added faith bonus for desert regions
3. added cattle bonus...ehtiopia holds possibly largest cattle population in Africa and one of largest in the world
4. impassables added

Postby x-raider on Wed Dec 26, 2012 8:05 pm

Aw, why'd you have to go ruin it like that.
Either make it a small-size map or give it a bunch of extra bonuses.
You needn't do both.

Well, x-raider, i havn't exactly ruined it...yet!
It is reversable if people don't like it.
So thanks for you feedback on that.
How many extra bonuses were you thinking of it the extras were kept?

Sure.
But I can't ask people to support my opinion if I don't voice it now, can I? :P
