They are the symbol then the symbol is defined to the right of it. It can't be placed in the same spot on the legend I don't think and still have the text fit nicely.

Like how the town symbol is in the bottom right box then explained after he did the same with the capital symbol which is unique for praha/bratislava respectively

The background image just clarifies what regions are SR and which are SR. If he place the capital in the right place on the little SR/CR maps it would be hard to fit the text in nicely too

I´m fine with commas, but not with "Capital Bratislava". at the first, the main information is that this grey thing on the map is Bratislava and only then become information that it is capital. at the second, all maps legends have symbol - name of town - what it means (state capital, count capital...).
Jippd wrote:Also should it read "+1 with every 3 towns in SR" or "+1 with every 3 towns in the SR"
Would you say. +1 with every three towns in slovak republic. Or +1 with every three towns in the slovak republic


is the realy so important and needed? if it is not grammatical correct without it ofcourse I will add it to text.

the background maps in the boxes are important, so they must be enough visible.

I doubt it's imageshack-related... maybe you have some display filter left on or something in gimp...

Anyway, try using the hue/saturation tool on the background layer, I'm guessing it's the background which is giving the image a red tint...

the small one loks fine. and the small was made from the big one which looks red... so I do not think problem is with my GIMP.

In regards to the two legends, what if you made the mini-map behind the text more, hm faded, or less like the background surrounding the gameboard? I'm not sure I am being clear in my suggestion, since I don't quite know how to express it in terms of graphic software lingo.
