A&A 1914 Triplea

[Veqryn]

There are multiple ways to do it.

I think a paint program like Paint.NET or photoshop or something, you could create a second layer and draw the territory borders on top of it.

But the end result should look something like the attachment I added below.

It doesn’t have to be colored, but the Border lines must be pure Black.

Anti-aliasing should be turned off.  In other words, it should be pixelly, (no fuzzy lines).  The territory borders should be 1 pixel thick.

OK, I experimented a bit using Paint.NET starting with the SZ borders. The Line/Curve Utility helps a lot there.
But how accurate does it have to be? I mean the SZ borders are really easy - but the territory borders …
:?

[Veqryn]

depends on how good you want it to look

whatever you do, try to keep the same style all the way through

Will it be difficult for you to program the ‘contested territory’ rules?

[Veqryn]

i dunno, i haven’t read the rulebook yet

but i won’t start on anything until the basetile image is finished first by someone else

@Veqryn:

…

Is the “basetile image” the result of tracing the border lines?
If yes, I will continue my work on it, unless someone more experienced throws his hat in.
But it will take me some time. Spare time is rare …

[Veqryn]

yes

the final product should look like the attachment i added in an earlier post (it was the territory borders for ww2v3 [aa50])

It is easier than I thought. I think I will have that ready within the next few days.

Hi guys,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but thought I’d share with you all a A&A1914 map that I made. It’s pretty much finished now so any thoughts/comments/suggestions would be welcome. Thank you!  :-)

Looks very good!  Are you going to enter the territory names/IPC values?

Glad someone is working on this.  I’m itching to play this game more.

[lozmoid]

Thank you, BJCard. I think I will leave those out for now as I’m making this map in MS Paint and it’s difficult to get the words/numbers on at this 45degree angle. So I guess players would have to try and write them on themselves.

However, maybe this map could be used for TripleA or Battlemap or something, I don’t know.

I noticed and admired it too. Great work Loz.
I too would  like to see it on AAA.

Maybe it would be better if the words/numbers are not at a 45 degree angle… if the game is going to be played as a ‘square’ instead of a ‘diamond’, then just print the names horizontally.
