Would there be any way we could get such a map live?  It would take a graphics update, I'm sure, but I don't know how it could ever convert from circle to dual-layer fill.  I've had lots of good feedback from many players over the years about the gameplay, however.

Thoughts?

First, it works as is, right?  I mean, you've simply made territories that are circles.  I don't think there's a dual-layer rule for a map to pass review. It is preferred, but that gets trumped by other factors.  Pirates of the Caribbean is a similar example.

I'm not sure if it will work. It seems to me that years ago, when I first ported the map here, there were some issues when I first tried it as a regular map, though I cannot remember now what they were. It has functioned well as a circle map in private games. I will retry fill map.

Only dual-layer maps are allowed, as a rule. That said, you can make a dual-layer map that effectively is a circle map, for example:

My understanding is that single layer is OK for published boards,  but not circle-mode. You can read the rules on the wiki:

Note that "should" is not the same as "must".

Btw - Pirates of the Caribbean is dual layer.  Every new map I make is dual layer.  I recommend this to everyone, because single layer maps do not look consistent between flash & native player, or even between browsers, but I believe dual layer does.

Thanks all.  I've got a dual-layer version ready to test now.  Can I invite you all to a dev game prior to submitting for review? (I know you're already in one for the circle mode Kjeld, and doing quite well methinks, so hopefully you don't mind another one).

Can I play?

Of course, you're always welcome Korrun.

As far as I can tell, this board would play fine in Fill mode. The circles are built into the map.
