If we can see clear water around all the island, that would be groovy.
Do not alter the size, I am currently editing stuff onto the blank map.
#Ooh, and the flag and totem sprites you have made so far would be very handy

When do you plan to start? What are criteria/timeline?
Abaddon

Well, I am adding towns/totems/resources/other tibes to the map right now. Essentially once I have drawn up stats for those other tribes, as well your own, it will launch.
If i am not distracted, today or tomorro launch.

Well, to add sprites on map = like 15 minutes, so I hope you work that hard on our stats and we'll have awesome system .
Don't get me wrong, I just want to play very much, this is going to be my first NES.

Lol, i'll do my best. I think my editing skills, while honed to MSPaint are vastly slower and crapper compared to yours!

By having the rivers and cost fade into white, its an absolute nightmare when filling.
Deon, I need you to remove the grid from the island, and the fade, or this is going to take me hours.

I don't see how it is possible to play tactics on small map without grid, and sorry for now I have no time to work on map. University session )). I can open photoshop in the next weekend though.
Also the map is a bit... terrible? XD I mean all the white lines here and there. Isn't it easier to give me teh draft and I will make it nice for you.
And why some tribes have natural borders while others square?
P.S. Rivers and cost do not fade into white, they are on separate layer.

Yeah, but paint doesn't have layers.
He means (I tried it) that 1: it isn't tactics maybe. 2: We are all used to round borders!
Or this can be a boardgamer NES. It has nice rigid stats but a need for stories.

May I suggest that you use GIMP? It's a really good painter, and you can make separate layers.

I can't use anything other than MSpaint. This is on library computers at my college.
Sorry, no progress since yest. RL involving a houseparty kinda killed off this weekend so far/
Deon, that was an example of what I am slowly having to deal with. Left on the map is closest to completion, right the least.
MSPaint doesn't have layers, so i am having to manually fill each pixel :/
As for tactics, we know for big the island of jamacia really is. The map is just a poor representation. For that you can draw your tactics. We don't need a 100/ accuracy map for that.
Yeah it aint too pretty, but its no-where near complete. All those lines are cos im having to deal with the layers compressed.
If you get chance, remove the fade of the coastline an rivers and remove the grid from the island.
We can still have it over the sea, and people can still approximate location, but i can't deal with a grid laying over the land.

Finally Deon, once this is going I think you will be very surprised just how much depth it can have

Still you haven't answered why don't you want me to be a "mapper" of NES .
And I am sure that it will have a lot of depth, I was just angry at you saying "do this, remove this, oh we don't need this anymore" etc. because you sound JUST LIKE my boss when I'm writing some project. He always scraps 3/4 of my work and asks to redo the same things 100 times xD.
P.S. I will try to make "ms paint friendly" version this evening.

Cos it doesnt really work.. how would I tell you how people have expanded? Feel free to produce a version after I have posted mine each update.
An to be fair, I didn't ask for any of the things i'm asking you to remove lol.
Don't worry mate, I hope things will become clear once play gets underway

OK. I think I will just "paint" your versions later . And I don't mean that you're this kind of person, you were just sounding LIKE this kind of person for my boss-tormented brain .

Not to be mean, but if i use the "flood" tool on MsPaint, this happens:
All those white and off white pixels I will still have to fix one at a time
An I liked the sea and the grid, jus keep it off the land..

@Adabbon: The map looks good, but what's that box in the lower-left corner do?

Yeah, I'm happy with it, it just will take an age since there are a lot of off white pixels.
The box was designed to hold the key for the nations labels.

Oh I see the problem, it's compression which blends pixels.
If I save it as bmp it's fine:

Tribe Name: Ashbreik
Cacique Name: Iandaar
Colour: Something un-pinky.
Location: They live in a regular semi-wooded area. Preferably a bit hilly.
Magic User: Sakuvar
Magic Spell: Blood Enforcement - 1MP: Sacrifices an individual, but traps the soul and essence in this world, instead granting the strength to the sacrificer. This empowers the sacrificer significantly. (The effect never ends. Non-magic users may perform the sacrifice if the mana is provided by a caster.)
