If it is a gold ring on a window it is more logical if it was originally fult closed. If the edges of the gaps are not so round but broken pieces it might look more natural. Some cracks or dirt or pieces of lead might do the trick.

Ah...now i understand what you mean...although for the image i'm not quite sure that's what i was aiming for
but we'll see.

Version 14.

I'm mucking around with different textures at present and presentation.
I think this version might be the go moving forward.

Because i chose to update the map inline with the google map, the river has moved.
This caused a change in the layout of the olive regions below Yaramanka and also to the Ochakovo border.
I'm wondering if nolefan5311 will re-examine those regions to ensure to bonuses are correct, please.

I'll continue to update this version until all the mosaic look is complete around the map unless there is a huge negative backlash about it.

Looking good...

the mosaic looks nice. looking forward to see all map done in mosaic.

Oneyed

the mosaic is done on the inner regions...the outer regions still to be completed....it's taking quite a while.
not sure about the street "vein" colour yet.
I've also placed in the latest update to V14 (pls refresh) the star bonus.

Get rid of the street veins, it is making the map look really "un"cairns like. a.k.a. messy, cluttered, busy, etc.

Ooooh! I thought most of my maps were cluttered

The streets do make it very difficult to work out where the borders are.

I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like with a complete mosaic. Keep in mind also that it may be difficult to work out where the Inner suburbs bonus starts and ends, as the mosaic as it is really highlights those bonuses.

maybe streets could be a little more lighter?

the bonuses look clear, but I have question for 100% patency: +13 Inner suburbs (so +8 for suburbs and +5 for Inner ring), so not +13 for Inner suburbs and +5 for Inner ring which gives +18?

that's what it says

Yes, it will take some time now to pull those layers out but perhaps the streets were the wrong direction....i wasn't 100% totally happy with them

yes they're coming out completely

Version 15.
1. all regions in mosaic
2. text colour changed for constrast against the background
3. text size increased from 2.454 to 3pt
4. there is an 70% opacity black oval across the top of the regions to dampened down the colours

Very cool looking cairns.

Thank-you Oneyed...

I'll keep this in mind.

it looks that legend want be emboss. all frame want be from metal (this is my feeling). so what about to do white background mosaic (with larger squares) and frame realy metallic? maybe as ring and title?

Frame - metal as ring and title - yes...possible
white background - not sure where you mean here...are you talking about the areas in between the curly frame pieces and behind the title?

looking forward

yes.

Good idea, but make it look more distressed so as not to take away from the title.

white background - not sure where you mean here...are you talking about the areas in between the curly frame pieces and behind the title?

The white has to go. A couple of ideas would be to add a photo of Moscow behind the image (to simulate looking through the frame itself) or use the grey from the game page (again so you get to look behind the frame as such).

Not sure adding the tiles to this area would be a good idea. might make it look to fussy IMO, but you could always give it a go.

Oh goodness how i hate this.....to fussy....should be too fussy...when are all you guys gonna get this correct
Yes i am a spelling nazi on this one in particular, and koontz you've put me in the mood just for it.

I know it is too fussy. just typing too quickly and being too lazy to check it.

danilovsky is on the wrong side of the river. the correct location is where u have the text of severroe chernatova, while donskoy appears to extend all the way east to the river. nagomyy ought to be nagornyy. chertanovo severnoye (not severroe chernatova) is actually off the map, well to the south of nagornyy, so it's sensible to reduce the number of regions by 1, bringing down the number of non-neutral regions to 35.
