sry for the double post but 21st gets more attention than the 20th. I would suggest to create a clan map on the base of omegas sketch, where each clan nominates its map maker, who contributes a realm to the map. For example omega gives the outline of the realm to said mapmakers and they return the realm with its territories and names.
Thats kinda is like my idea. Evry clan create there own part of the clanmap and one player in charge of the clanmap will put the pieces together. I would be willing to create the part for GG.
That would be a big pain unless they were all islands or you have to put fill between all these non matching separate drawings. Anyway, i am continuing with mine. My plan is to just have leaders name their territories
Ranek why do you think my map is limited to strategic clans? It would have all. The plan was to have each type dispersed actoss the map, so a type is not grouped. So i started with the major strategic ones first at the time.
oh, good to know. in this case Im looking forward for your project. ^^ It wouldnt be such a pain if you give every mapmaker an outline of its realm. so you only have to put them together like puzzle, in the end.
I agree Ranek, except that we have a lot of clans. Even if I limit it to around 70 of the most active (which I think I will), it would still be a admin nightmare. After doing the clan league, I can't imagine the headache of trying to get each clan to submit them.
I will certainly get their input on naming though. I just went through and redid my list of clans, bonus amounts, etc because a lot has changed.
70 is a pretty good number. After the 70 I have, I can't even name a person from the other ones (either from a ladder or forum). So it should be a pretty good cutoff.
If you made a map of clans you could put types of clans together, if you do so you maybe could create country clans, with NL, French, German Warlords and maybe some others.
@Bane - depends on the clan. The map right now is planned for 70 clans and 320 territories total. I don't want it huge since I am doing some artistic stuff on it.
@Ox - yes, I am doing it based on the clan's relevance over time (from formation to now). I don't want it to simply be a snapshot because if a bunch of people switched clans (like from XS to ONE) while making it...it would be out of date real fast.
Chris. lets make it like this: only the clans that are interested in participating will be included in the map. furthermore each of those clans needs a mapmakewr as well. There could also be a deadline for participation and finishing the map. at least make a restriction for svg size and you wont have more than 20 clans included, which will still be awesome. Sander I like your suggestion. maybe if some related clans want to make a combined realm, that might work as well. Bane the number of territories could be restricted, too. the first idea was to make as many territories as there are clan members.
perhaps you could create a map where each clan with, say, 10 or more members gets a castle, in which nine members are credited (have territories named after then), with the castles arranged in a circle around a main clan (ie. masters).
