Both words are capitalized in these instances because they are proper nouns. Shouldn't Ring of Fire be the same way? And while you're at it, might as well change Siren call to Siren's Call.

All done.

These are simple changes for you to make real quick.

No such thing as a quick simple change.

Gone round and cleaned up the image. Legend is now aligned. Not perfect as that is not wanted.

Can I ask the mods to let me know what they like and dislike so I am not flapping around later trying to please them. ;)

Glow versus icons.
Top image has the glows for the killer neutrals (Medusa) and the target squares for the spears.
The bottom has some icons for the same ones.

Which one is better? Glow or icons.

Hmm...I can't really tell what the icons are meant to represent. I mean, I know because I know the map, but if I was looking at it for the first time I wouldn't really have a clue.

But if the icon was in the legend so you would have a reference to it, I just do not want to get further down the line and have someone ask for the icons over the glows. cairnswk is famous for icons after Stalingrad and flapcake put them on trench warfair. I just do not want to over look any possibility if you know what I mean.

You've started / kept the glow theme, I would strongly prefer keeping those areas glow over adding additional icons.

That was and is my inclination.

EDIT: Got rid of the icons, updated legend, removed light grey from fire rings, added a darker glow to the sirens as the blue was too hard to see over the sea. :mrgreen:

Glow all the way. This map already has a plethora of icons and other objects, that more icons I think would just distract more.

Icon and glow time then.

Icons in use at the moment.
    Medusa
    Minotaur
    Dead Warriors (4 territs per bonus)
    Spears
    Food
    Swords
    Ring of fire
    Pegasus
    Prometheus
    Traps
    Siren
    Pegasus
Change any? Increase/decrease size of any? Move any to a different part of the territ?

Glows
    Black for siren decay
    White and Yellow for Spear targets
    Blue for Medusa killer territs
Colours are OK now for colour blind tests.
But are they OK for normal people (Like/dislike colour)?
Too small or too large?

The food icons are a little hard to see on the map. Can you enlarge them and place the 888's in those squares? You may have to move the icons to a different corner, to get the 888's to fit with the enlarged icons.

Food increased by 4 pixels and placed onto the left bottom of territ.
Siren glow now a purple. Black not liked but cannot go back to the original as it does not show up on one of the colour blind tests.

Uh.... Go back to the black. No offense but the glow ruins the siren. I wish you didn't have to add anything to that.

:lol:

Darker blue with a higher contrast can be seen by all. Also, blue over the water seems to fit the colour scheme.
Changed Pegasus and added a reduced glow.

That looks..... Better. What's the food supposed to represent? It kinda looks like a small Pokemon and a McDonald's sausage patty :)

Pretty sweet map. The only thing that comes to mind is the background of the legend. I think the red takes away from the icons. Maybe a darker color would be better?

Always with the jokes. :lol:
Not done for all. Just look at column 3.
A3-same icon but with a slight glow.
E3-same icon but olives are now green.
J3-increased the contrast to the same icon.
N3-new icon. Goblet with meat.
Choose one or none and can get the rest done.

The legend is next on the list of things to do. And this should be the last part of the puzzle before the small can be made up.
