River Basin Map

[/quote] Well Hoodlum, you got me here hehe. But I will reduce the opacity to what you and other map makers prefer. Gonna upload it today in the evening i think. Have a nice New Years eve!

[/quote] Alright, i think i have managed to reduce opacity to the level that was prefered (i forgot to write down the opacity level, so i had to do it by the eye). <a href="https://ibb.co/0jcjFLFH"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/rGmGchcD/Titelloses-82-20251231161154.jpg" alt="Titelloses-82-20251231161154" border="0"></a> ps: had to edit the pic three times to hit the correct opacity level. the thing is i make the maps on my tablet, but compare them on a pc. and comparison of the same map between two divices is difficult, so i need to upload it on the forum and view from pc to see whether its ok or not.

Dima, your hard work is amazing, thanks so much for sharing your talents through these maps! The territory borders look much better so well done on that :) I also think the background images as they are now make the map look better as a whole. If anything, I would consider increasing the saturation or opacity slightly of the background in the top right corner, as it is a little too dull when compared with the opposite side. Have a play around with it and see if you agree :) It's looking great!

I will make the necessary changes on the upper right corner; Meanwhile Bishop can close the map, to prevent players from creating new games, and then, when all games are finished, make the adjustments. Due to the fact that I have added one more territory, uploading a new image wont be enough. As much as i know one can make adjustments to the game play only when no games are running.

That's so nice! [spoiler][img]https://i.ibb.co/xSDSfbfx/Titelloses-82-20251231161154.jpg[/img][/spoiler] https://ibb.co/0jcjFLFH Sorry if it sounds annoying but I think you still forgetting one detail: [u]the port colors in the mini map[/u]. Yes, I'm going to temporary pause the beta test in order to add 1 territory.

jesus christ.... cap 8 and cap 12.... is there a possibility to ask the creators of these games to postpone them? btw, one of the games listed is german ps: yes, gonna upload a new minimap

[i]German game removed from the list.[/i] I think that the cap 8 probably will not start at all and we will eventually end the cap 12 as a draw game.

alright, here is the finished version with an updated minimap: <a href="https://ibb.co/SwW42k6d"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/nMZNTXwn/Titelloses-82-20260103210103.jpg" alt="Titelloses-82-20260103210103" border="0"></a> [spoiler][img]https://i.imgur.com/UOz6j2E.jpeg [/img] [/spoiler]

alright, here is the wider version, 1365 pixels or smthing... [spoiler][img]https://i.imgur.com/IxxHGuy.jpeg [/img] [/spoiler]

Just for Dima's information: now I can download images from Igmur again.

Everything looks more clean in the last one version, but the outline was better in the previous one: thinner and more consistent outline (with the wrong image size though). In the last one I also see a couple of mistakes: "Volga & Don" should not be covered by the letter R of River, and the second asterisk of Kazan is missing. @@Dima: Are you sure you want to add one territory exactly there? Because I find a bit weird to divide the city of Kazan into two territories. Are there another city name to add next to Kazan, please, instead of calling them West and East?

All increasing games on this map are finished. In the capped games people have been informed of the imminent map change causing the end of their games. We can END these 3 games: game 1582309 (cap 20) game 1585859 (cap 30) game 1588671 (cap 12) We can also END this game 1589246 (fix 8); then RESTART it on the updated map with the same players in: centerskillz, jusepe13, Hamilton, dabbledave, MarshyMotty, KaiserWilhelmII, lavige, Xick, BoJeeSweet. [i]Standard deathmatch, FFA, with fixed cards and chained fort'.[/i] EDIT: I missed this game 1589307. Let's also restart it.

[i]Okay, everything fine, all new games have been restarted or are starting on the new version, with 1 more territory.[/i] .... [b]Proposal:[/b] perhaps [i]"Volga & Don River Basins - Russia"[/i] could be translated in Russian and be written on the upper right corner, among the clouds. I feel like that area is too empty. And I don't feel it is Russia if I don't see something written in Cyrillic! [i]Just my thought...[/i]
