Yes, actually I'd say we do. Or, more precisely, we don't, but some people do. This is supposed to be(come) the flagship map, the #1 map that all new players are drawn to. As such the rules and gameplay of the map should be crystal clear to anyone.

I can move the note somewhere else, but I think the top left is the most fitting (bottom center has some room but it would look odd there). And I also think that like the continent lables the note is not really necessary. BUT we want to make sure thta this map is easy to figure out, even if someone has never played the game before so it should be as self explanatory as possible.

If you MUST have it - then at least move it away from above the title...
It looks like a subtext where it is...
In my eyes it completely spoils the look of the entire map - because it's the only text on there other than names...

We've been talking about the distracting and non-organic nature of that text for a while now End, have a look back through. And remember that even one person with a compelling argument still has a compelling argument.
It may help if you try to consider the little fighters as more like clouds formed in the jet stream. They would need to be subtle and not much more than an extension of the battle line; just enough to indicate that there is a two way attack between Mag. and Anch.
This may seem minor but it is important, the map has become something so much more than when i first saw it and that tiny little nuance detracts and distracts.
P.S. Hello Yeti, i just do the odd hit and run in this thread once in a while, i'm just a little ghost monki

I added notes "To Anchorage" and "To Magadan". It's a tight fit, but I think it's less obtrusive and more helpful than the old note. Let me know if it needs to be tweaked (I think the Magadan on the Large needs to be nudged to the right)
