[OOC] Fabula Elysia - Medieval Fantasy Nationgame

[GreivousKhan]

Excellent.

Possible that the exact details have been lost to history as well.

[MonkeyBusiness]

I changed the color for the nation to one I think no one has used yet.

[Nerevarine]

@Willy Vereb
My Nation Sheet is finally ready

[Frengo]

Actually, let me take things back to the drawing board.

[Shorticus]

Gonna sleep for a couple hours more before toying with the map. I'm assuming the most recent map on this page is close to correct? I see Poohead's borders aren't on there yet.

[AltRightHero]

Very Interested.
I'm the Eastern Dark blue

[Shorticus]

Starting on a map. A note for future reference, though:

If anyone ever saves a map file on here as a JPG, I will find where you live and pelt your house with rotten eggs.

Cleaning up after being given a JPG is awful.

Throwing this out as a ball park (Far Left). May be a little large, if so, willing to chop things off, but considering someone else claimed what I mentioned I was interested in, it'd be best to get this in now.

I don't believe anyone else has opted for this, if so, please let me know as I have a secondary location spotted out.

@Shorticus

I haven't changed anything on the map since then. Also the original map was made in JPG format. blame the author.

@Willy Vereb

Fair enough, that.

I'm creating the Lines layer ATM, after which I'll create the Territory layer which will be transparent. I may put the Lines layer slightly transparent so that hopefully rivers will be visible.

I'm redrawing a lot of the lines since they're muddy due to being in JPG format. I could use the Magic Wand tool to grab all the things of the same color, but a lot of people have similar colors. We've got a LOT of red on the map, for instance. That limits what colors I can drag from the Foreground layer (which will later be deleted) onto the Lines layer without picking up unwanted baggage.

I'm making good progress, though. Expect something soon, and I don't mean in Valve time. 1-2 hours at most.

[Shorticus]

Oh,

@Willy Vereb Could you post a link with the lines you want for Poohead's new nation borders? I'll add them to the map, subtracting them from the red and gold areas we already have in that region. I'll already removed his old nation borders in the mountains and split that between the two nations formerly surrounding it.

@Shorticus

To be honest that involves redrawing the borders of 3-4 other players so I'd rather leave it for later after you done the demonstration piece.

@Willy Vereb

Sure thing!

[Shorticus]

@Taeryn Is there a color besides dark red you want? I'm going to put in a temporary color, and if you disapprove of it feel free to request a different one. Just... We have lots of reds.

ALMOST done here.

[Shorticus]

@Willy Vereb

Okay, here we go.



A few notes:

1. There are four "layers" on this map, one of which I haven't used. The Background is layer 1, and it's the map itself. Layer 2 is Lines, which is... Well, what you expect. Layer 3 is Territory, which is where I shade in the territory owned in Lines by copying Lines and making Territory mostly transparent. Finally, the top layer is Numbers. With the Numbers layer, I can put text (numbers) on the map and then we can have a reference sheet below the image itself that indicates what numbers correspond with what nations.

Note that both Lines and Territory are transparent to some degree. This should make it easier to see the rivers on the map. However, it also makes the lines look fuzzy when they in fact are not.

I added @GreivousKhan and [@Nexerus] to the map. I adjusted the borders of the nations that took over @POOHEAD189's former mountain range, diving it not-quite-evenly between them.

I can upload this map to Drop Box if necessary, or I can simply load the PNGs to IMGUR.

Did I forget to add anyone? Besides Poohead I mean. I have NOT added myself yet.
