I'm Going to be creating a C&C Map (world just pre tib war 3) and seeing as it my first map requiring skill (I've made a map before but it was very square https://www.warlight.net/Map/21532-Monoploy

It will be based off of this image and contain roughly 200 territory's I think


Started it today and this is my progress thus far (30 mins just refreshing on what's where in ink scape) I'll update progress regularly-ish. I will need testers in a few weeks (two hopefully) so if anyone's interested in doing so say so below.

Feedback or advice appreciated....

You posted the wrong link.

what do the different colours on the map mean, how are they separated?

@Omega
Thanks for mentioning I'll fix it tomorrow (on phone now)

@Nogals
Blue zones (least environmentaly damaged GDI strongholds ) Yellow zones (somewhat damaged poor and with little GDI influence and moderate NOD power (Red zones complete devastation Nod power In these)

As for territories distribution the blue zone that is predominantly south Africa is a bonus with three territories (south, South East. Madagascar)

Okay there's a lot of good stuff to learn... Only just realised That ink-scape had a layers function.

A C&C map would be really cool :)

Ah wait the old link does the same thing. Anyway I'm just getting used to layers and ink-scape some more.

I'm messing up Bonus_Link some how here's a screenshot any help very much appreciated (It's not in a group. And is named right so what is wrong with it?)

Also how do you make realistic 'jagged' shoreline/Territory Boarders?

Looking good :)

The border between South Africa and the rest of Africa doesn't quite touch, not sure if that's normal or I'm just looking at it too critically!

I think from another thread someone mentioned using the line tool? rather than making curves as it looks better.
EDIT: Like in this map https://www.warlight.net/Map/7387-World-Nations-2012

I'm super excited about this map, please invite me if you need testers! :D

Thanks for the Info yeah the South Africa thing got fixed I'll have to try out the line tool more I'm sure I'm missing quite a few ink scape trick but oh well as long the finished thing works

(That sentence had no grammar but really don't feel like fixing it)

Edited 11/28/2015 18:26:48

Actually I couldn't fix the SA mistake as it curved edge but it's less noticeable with colour (I think)

To poster below
Yeah Okay thanks I'll add you to the tester list

I'll be a tester if you need it. C&C is one of my favourite game franchises.

Just an update; Currently I am abandoning this project until new year... While it has taught me a lot I went into it with a lack of knowledge and went about it the wrong way thus I am going to delete all svg of it I've done thus far. I hope to start again on this map by the start of January in the mean time I am working on honing my skills by creating a Falkland island map (Out by end of Year).

I can test for you.

I'm up to test this map and your Falkland Islands map.
