But when digits go over border and you can't read them only because you are using a very helpful feature like armies color code, I say it need to be tested before being released and the 88 test is not enough! And if you centered 888 correctly (between the first and second digit) then you will have some really ugly map with the last 8 half over a 22 pixels black bordered army circle which make it unreadable if it's in blue.

That's the way of it - you won't be stopped unless it's really bad... but you personally can make your map nicer if you like.

Placing neutral troops on map to indicate starting neutral or starting positions could help during foundry process.
After i received some requests of help about it, i want to post these files:

0-9 neutral numbers.psd

then, here below the coloured 888 numbers to have a complete set with the old 88.

All colors 888.psd

i hope they could help you all :)

Along the same line as what Nobody just posted, here is a brush set for the different army numbers. It is basically just the outline, so if you use it, I suggest having the fg color set to black.

Army Numbers Brush Set (Made with Ps Cs2)

Hope this helps someone (:

Looking at a bunch of maps I realized that 1 or 2 digits is centered where the xml placed it. However more than two digits overflows to the right.

I almost wish that the game engine allowed you to put an opacity on the div that holds the unit numbers so that when units got that big you could read them easier. A toggle to turn on and off that opacity would be great.

Hmm... I'm having problems downloading the neutral 0-9 numbers. It downloads fine but all I got was a a blank image opened in Preview... I tried opening it in Photoshop and all it gave me was a tiny and empty picture as well.

Could someone post the neutral numbers as a png file somewhere, for people who don't use paint shop?
