Conquer 4 [Quenched]

[gimil]

Any better with the bevel?

[ZeakCytho]

Better, but I think it could still be a bit stronger.

its such a thin font if I do much more it wont work.

[Ethitts]

This looks like a pretty interesting/fun map to play. Keep it up, I look forward to giving it a go

The title font is thin? It looks thick to me; or, at least, it's thick at the size used in the title.

I feel like the title should either be raised out above the "board" or etched into it, like words on a real plastic or metal game board would be, rather than just written on, as one could do on a board with a paper surface.

But, if you say that it looks bad with more bevel, then I'll defer to your judgment.

Did you try embossing it yet? Maybe a sunken/etched look will work better than a raised one.

The etched look is what im going for. I have it beveled down at the moment. I can try a little more on the title I was meaning that I cant do much more with the terr names etc

[yeti_c]

This needs to be on the map somewhere...

I think we need to have "Each Line +2" or similar somewhere...

Else the entire map doesn't make sense.

4. Seems like alot of leg work for little gain. I keep it on the back burner if I need the space later on. Sorry cairns but its to much work for the sake of a little eye space

Mmmm...that's exactly what design work is all about gimil...a lot of work for sometimes little gain, but the end overall effect is worth it.
Happy that you'll keep it on the backburner but i think that the bonus column needs to run the entire right side of the board and the title can be constricted to 3/4s of the board. Only my opinion. Your map however, you do what you want.

Im happy to shift about the title area for more space for the legends thou, rather than the buttons

sorry to say but, the white in black is pretty much hurting my eyes.

nice map though

Am I being really dim - but can either of you two explain what the hell you mean by "buttons"?!

I think they mean the army circles. And I agree that the white is in stark contrast. What if you put a CC star, with very low opacity, in each circle? The center of the star could hold the number, and the rest of it would act as a buffer from the main color to the white. If not a star, then some other design could work.

its not a button sorry its suppose to be a hole. The image is a trasnaprent background PNG, so the holes are transparent not white. I could maybe use so drop shadow to break up the color a little?

[gimil]

Here some changes with the legends added in that bonus line for yeti and a little drop shadow to the background.

Note: this is a quick update nothing properly aligned in the legends.

[Kaplowitz]

i think they look more like buttons now
