i much prefer the changes you made for version 7.
i only have one suggestion:
the color bars you use to represent the long distance lines in the legend are a great idea.
and while i know that space is very tight, is there any way you might be able to make them a *tiny* bit thicker?
it hurts the eyes a bit trying to distinguish them.
not a major problem, and if there isn't room, it's understandable.
otherwise, i agree that this should be moved to the foundry.

UnderstandNight Strike wrote:Because the tournament just includes these, they aren't featured. They're trips through the various continents. The current one is Amazing Race: USA.
On topic, I'm kinda confused on the Long Distance Bonuses. Are those labeled by the attack lines that actually have railroads??
From coast to coast by night and day, hear the clickin' of the wheels
The hummin' of the diesel, of her ribbons of steel
Carryin' the memories of a nation built by hand
See the Indian Pacific span the land
She's the pride of all the railway men 'cross country where she flies
From blue Pacific waters to where the mountains rise
By lakes and wide brown rivers, through desert country dry
See the Indian Pacific passin' by
Oh the Indian Pacific she goes rollin' down the track
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back
Beside the line, a drover waves his battered old grey hat
And kids are catchin' yabbies down by the river flat
And a woman hangs her washing in a backyard near the line
As the Indian Pacific's rollin' by
Hear the whistle blowin' lonely 'neath the Nullabor star light
Saluting those who walk across the track she romps tonight
Callin' to the railway camp and the fitters on the line
I'm the Indian Pacific, right on time
From the silver of the Broken Hill to old Kalgoorlie gold
She mirrors all the colours of the land so hot and old
Then the western clouds are blooming and the air is just like wine
And the Indian Pacific's makin' time
Oh the Indian Pacific she goes rollin' down the track
Five thousand miles to travel before she's there and back
From the waters of the western sea to the eastern ocean sand
The Indian Pacific spans the land
Oh the Indian Pacific spans the land

For example put the PHL Port in like KTN or something.

but i forgot accuracy!

Sorry about the delay.

what colour?Several of the normal lines in the bottom right are really skinny,
that is tasmanian rail and i think you must be blind if you can see that orange...or are you talking about the south australian red.and orange is almost washed out.
Night Strike wrote:Sorry, I wasn't clear. Both Tas Rail and Vic Rail have very skinny normal lines compared to the other colors (by the way, I'm defining normal as the non-long distance lines).
By washed out, I was meaning the orange line in the ocean is partially covered by the dark ocean color. The color itself is just fine.
