Description | For Pheidippides
<3 - Plus, some comments on this would be appreciated: http://numa.notdot.net/map/119514 <3<3 |

astheoceansblue's Consider Phlebas is an extraordinary marriage of simplicity and style. Working with an attractively simple theme, atob has crafted a beautiful tileset with no unnecessary frills and plenty of gameplay-fueling flow. Rockets were the ideal enemy for this landscape, and their placement gives them a wide range while still maintaining order. Optional gold motivates the player to exploit and enjoy this expert placement. All told, Consider Phlebas certainly proves that less is more. — Pheidippides

Finally we become acquainted again, map. Played it ages ago and I've been wondering what map/who it was by ever since.

Wow, this is really bad.
I find a lot of your other maps are far better and more enjoyable than this one.

I have a complaint that i would just like to bring to your attention (I know this isn't the first time a nub has been to lazy to use email). I find the way maps are being listed become very inefficient. Sure, it lets people know which top authors had recently made a map. But for a starting author such as myself, it is unfair for me to submit a map, and already be the seventh map on the page because blackson, lord day, eganic, and others are being displayed at the top. Think about it. BTW, this map is brilliant. 5/5 faved

It's okay
But the gold placement bothers me big time. The tileset and other objects encourage flow almost through the whole map, but the gold is set up in such a way that it breaks that flow as much as possible. Would be 3/5 from me.

Nice level. Interesting that you took such a complex book to make such a simplistic level.. But its still great. As we can expect, from ATOB.
Which of Iain M Banks' novels is it that talks of the world that is only water? I think it may be 'Look To Windward' (somewhat a companion novel to this one, in as much as they come from the same TS Elliot quote)... That description is what i think of from AsTheOceansBlue - an ocean planet.
Anyhoo - nice. AGD.

I guess it deserves to be a featured map.
Made a stupid mistake in the demo.
