I know, I only did it for spacing reasons to see if it all fits. Now that I know it does, I will continue with the large map only.

But how is the text? There is my official version:

or this one as Pamoa asked for it:

Which one in your opinion is better and I will do all text like that. Maps and legend texts.

I prefer as Pamoa asked for it. The Barrio Azul bonus might have to be a bit darker for legitibility.

in my opinion it is better
but your shadow has to be darker
for the violet text in presently illegible

maybe a thin black outline and the shadow

can you try it for the legend texts
specially the b/w impassable :sick: sorry

thanks for listening to me =D>

No problem pamoa, will get it done today. As soon as a text is found that is good to go, all text will go like it. I will bung some different text up later with different shadows and let you lot decide for me.

Text in each bonus region is done differently with my desired font. Which looks the best. Do not worry about the colours as I can change/tweak them later after this is chosen. Not all are great but all use the bonus colours to facilitate game play.

I must say pink could be fun
else yellow is surely the best

Updated all text to be the same as the yellow one. Blue text is slightly different as it has a dark grey glow (colour blind test needed it).
Legend text done the same and rules have black text with the white glow.
Territ lines brought up to date with the new colours as well.

Can Barrio Azul have a darker shade now that the blue is lighter? Especially in the legend it pops out.

Looks good for the rest!

That is the blue, when it goes darker, the glow around it for the colour blind tests make it imposable to read. Will see if their is a shade darker that works though. Maybe tone the cyan one down a tad as well to give a better difference.

Colours and glows tweaked. All CB friendly.
Changed the names of the bonuses. Now compass points. This allows freedom to move away from some colours as the cyan never really looked like that anyway. Barrio=neighbourhood.

céntrico is downtown
which is usage description not corresponding to your zones
and used cardinals directions for the others
so it should be more generic geographical name
centro is more like middle

Looking great Koontz. Is it just me, or does the park in the north just look wrong?
I understand it might be depicting something specific, but it doesn't look right.

The water in the north is man made which is why it has the appearance like that. I understand you objection but every territ has a specific building feature and that is what is in that area.
