Attempt Number #2 to fix the legibility problem, what do you think?

It looks good to me, but then I never had any problems with the original version...

Too blurry…

I think the new light text is an improvement on the black.

[Nola_Lifer]

It makes it complete.

Having spoken with sam, he's going to try and make the text a bit less blurry: Then we'll get the image uploaded and out of beta

Update: Made the text less blurry, now we're ready to go i think

That look heaps better.

I'll send those images to lack forthwith...

Best of all, the new text colour matches the legend border, which looks better than either the black or white.

i wanted to comment the one center commander cannot reacht the paf, this should be rectified

It doesn't matter if they do or not, as players do not start with the centre Commanders.

This is very good idea for a map -- two-player games are interesting because with the secure +3 autodeploys you always have a chance to catch up even if you fall behind a bit, whereas on most maps once you're down by a couple of territories the difference in deployment becomes decisive.

One thing you might want to reconsider, though: the starting positions differ significantly. Each starting position can directly attack one plane and one tank (let's call them "DA" for directly attackable). But some of the DA planes can be attacked from opponents' DA tanks, some can only be attacked from their own DA tank and some can only be attacked from non-DA tanks. That makes it more or less difficult to attack them. I've played two two-player games so far and won them both partly because I was able to attack my opponents' DA planes from my DA tanks but they weren't.

It's OK to have some degree of variability in the starting positions, so this might be an intended feature; just thought I'd point it out.

Anyway, thanks for a great map!

actually it does, there is a weak spot in the card on the left and a strong one on the right because of the 'wrong' placement of the commanders. taking the one that does not connect to paf just blows

[MrBenn]

Having had a closer look at the map and discussed it with the other CAs, we are of the opinion that while the commander positions are not equally/perfectly evenly distributed.

The differences allow for different strategies in different gametypes, and the distance from PAF provides a useful place to stack armies in a foggy game, for example...

Despite the differences, they are not substantial enough to cause significant imbalance, particualrly when considered in conjunction with the neutral values of surrounding territories.
