The good news is: if the tournament keeps going at this pace, it should wrap up just in time for Brazil 2014.

Sign me up for Mexico, please.

It depends what you're thinking. A fair amount of them are not uniformly placed, but seeing how it's not possible to really "center" them and that they're all in the circles, I'll leave it up to the public and you in particular to decide what's best.

In my opinion, the large map coordinates look ...

You could do that. IMHO I think you might be also add a connection between Belcarra and Deep Cove. I think that would help a little. It would force you to defend one more place. Here's the game I played so you can see what actions I took http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game ...

Ok, I'll go grab my spoon...brb.

Ah, ok. I misunderstood how starting positions work.

Downtown Station is currently using start positions with the rest of the Canada Line, in the same manner as the Coast Mountains and West Vancouver also have start positions. Is this not sufficient?
Not sure. I think this should be up for debate. My take is this...

Let's use the example of a 4 ...

By "east", I assume you mean "west", and I agree it's a bit tough to see. Either more visible, or a note about it in the legend (though that would probably be too crowded).

Woot! Beta map is up & running!

Ok, so where is it??

I've been obsessively checking the Beta maps in the Game Finder looking for Vancouver...how much longer do I have to wait until East Van can kick some ass?

The Cloverdale farmers are gonna kick your complacent urban backsides!

That is, if you're not too distracted by ...

Um, those would be dashes, not minus signs.

Yay! So how long until it goes live on beta, do you figure?

Looks fantastic...when can we see thing thing go Beta?

Just three quick things because I love this map
1. Get rid of the compass it does not fit with the map
2. Either capitalize the names or don't but don't have it random
3. Add more canoes because that river really divides the map and only one looks odd


i like the compass.... why doesn't it fit ...

as a df metro user (not so often, though) i cant wait for this!

but, the issue is that lines like A and B have LONG lines of stations that don't cross other lines....taking em off wouldn't do....but keeping them is troublesome too....i would keep em and add 1 or 2 armies more to their bonus. but ...

Nitpicking about cities is fine at this stage, its one of the reasons I've left the map as a stick diagram.

Well, in that case :

I'd switch Quebec to Montreal -- Montreal's population is 1.6M, and Quebec City is under 500K. You don't even need to move the circle really.

I think Calgary makes ...

I like it. I'm tempted to start nitpicking about which cities are included, but other than that it's a solid idea.

True enough. I think it would look something like this:

Looks good,

Few things I'd suggest:

-put the mini-map more into the bottom right corner, and move the compass somewhere else. It looks a bit odd the way it is now.

-don't worry about making the "T" for Tucuman red. I think if you even used "T.", and then explain it somewere, people will know it's ...

I've been messing around with the idea of more metro systems as a map pack. Here's what I've sketched out for NYC, for what it's worth:

Obviously pretty rough, but a start. Emp. Metalman will be happy to see this ...

I thought about the possibilities of this map when I was down there at new years, and what I love about riding the DF metro are the symbols for each station. I imagine the metro system holds the copyright, but it would be worth looking into their use. Otherwise this map is just a crowded, confusing ...

Use this to help adjust colours for the colourblind: http://www.vischeck.com/vischeck/vischeckImage.php

The problem is with Line 8 and Line 9, as you can see in the checker, they both come out a sewage brown colour. Try fiddling with the blue level. If you make it more blue (110 ...

Good start but I don't like how some stations belong to multiple continents.
When two lines intersect, there should be two stations like the Rail USA and Rail Europe map

I actually believe the opposite, I like how this is set up. Makes for a different game play and I dont even want to imagine ...

Thanks for all the comments, thenobodies80.
- your first post seems a little bit chaotic, how many images? (but it's personal)
Yeah, all those images were just context for the poll.
- your first version is 840x616 pixels, your actual is 840x687 pixels, you added some pixels on height to move ...
