Army circles/squares or not ? thats the question ! (numbers dont got ther final space yet, ther can be some pushing around to get every thing to fit)

Opacity on the bonus colored area are reduced, but there must be a balance between the background city road map and the colour overlay, its the hole basic idea for the map.

I think the borderlines, colours and the names shows clearly where what belongs

Sigths are added this time

I didn't mean the opacity... I meant to decrease the saturation of the city background, so that the colours of the city background won't be as strong. Saturation means the "strength" of a colour, ie. a bright red has high saturation, while grey has zero saturation.

Mainly, it's the yellow roads that look kind of distracting, if they were a less saturated yellow that could help.

Also, why does only the green area have army boxes?

Well is it a goode idea with the boxes ? and/or could cirkles work better for the design ?

I don't think either are necessary.

cool, I decided to try out a more neutral way to put in the troop boxes, they wont be so outstanding but more toned down, but still its so people with poor vision can catch where troop are placed, I hope I can post it later to day.

Background citymap got satureted, have more neutral colours now. Armyboxes are toned dowm so they dont dominate the map, its only to show where the troops are :roll:

(like you dont know) well for people with bad eye vision ofcourse.

Note that 3-digit numbers are centered differently than 1 and 2-digit numbers. If you center the numbers so that 3-digit numbers fit in those circles, the 2-digit numbers will be rendered to the side of the box...

thats true, any solution to that ? ohter than not use boxes

by **natty dread** on Sun Mar 18, 2012 5:13 pm

How about, don't use boxes?

if you just want to centre armies use a box 20px x 20px and then later remove the boxes. this is sufficient for 88s only centering.
suggestion :idea:
