three minor things from before still bother me:
ā¢ I like the glow on the water radiating from, the land, but i'm not sure why there's also glow around the ferry routes.
ā¢ love the land shadow, as I said about Mibi's draft, the shadow from the land should be just a bit tighter with the land to give the impression of shadow from land features, not shadow from land floating above the water. There are a few spots - like the Seattle territory - where it looks like the land mass is hanging over the water.
ā¢ I promise this is the last time I'll mention my distaste for the flying whales... looks like the opening sequence of the Hitchhikers' Guide movie (So Long and Thanks for All the Fish!)
And because you'll never shut me up completely, one new thing:
ā¢ does anyone think it is necessary to have the line in the legend about unpassables? Water plays the same roll in every map.

redid the drop shadow on all names
straightened the ferry routes in the legend
tried to center words and numbers better in the legend
desaturated the water a bit
i added a bit of a drop shadow to the land..but i don't like the way that it adds shadow to my rivers also

Things I think should change
*I think the "Bremerton" label should be moved to the right, especially on the small map.
*I think the "Impassable" in the legend can be removed...if people can't figure out that you can't get across the river, they are stupid and should be laughed at.

Worse than Crossword? Hong Kong? Until I looked just now I forgot those maps even existed.
No map will be beautiful to everybody - the Berlin map probably still has more haters than this one, and Wid's ConquerMan and Canada revamp both beat this one in terms of provoking hate and anger. What's important is that it is improving, and while I think it could use some more eyes and some more little improvements it is certainly on its way.
