Glad to see you back on this one GH!!

Size of names is now nice. You can keep these as they are. Good job.
Colours are also really nice for the ground.

Check your settings for the region names text. Some like Fairfax look nice, others like Bowie look slightly of. Do you have the same setting for these? Sig is in a nice place but is hard to read.

Go back and read the glows part again. Get this done and you should start seeing a look that works.

One minor thing for now, you need to chop off 3px from the width to get the map to 840x800. Right now you are at 843x800. My suggestion is to chop it off the left side. I'll take a closer look at it later.

Yes sir, ty

Okay, now that I have taken a closer look, I have a few things that need to be taken care of:
1. The shadows must all go in the same direction, preferably, the same direction as you have for the generals. If you have a shadow around the wall, then that has to be the same as well.
2. The bridges are missing shadows
3. It is very hard to tell the difference of the colors on the convent, hospital and chapel on the playable area. Can you please adjust them accordingly.
4. For the cannons, you say that they bombard the whole region of the same color, but I don't see any color of the opposite region on the cannons. They all look the same to me.
5. The cannon on Banks needs to be blurred a bit.

This should keep you busy for a while

Looking forward to your next update!

I think the size is ok now
I will keep playing around with the glows

GH, glows for the regions are OK, but for the names, they are still way to big. Increase selection by 1 and then feather by 5.

I love the cannon balls, you are onto a winner their. Just get the target ones next to the names so players do not have to look for them.

Thanks buddy. I will work on that tomorrow.

I am trying a different background for the legends and wanted to see what they look like.
I lowered the glow on the names. I still need to move the cannon balls closer to the names.
Some of my rope was cut off when I made the canvas smaller.

Hey, gh, glad to see you still working on this one. Sorry I haven't commented for a while, but graphics aren't my cup of tea, so I leave it to the more capable others to post.

I will say that I like the cannonball idea to show where the cannons bombard. Seems a little more intuitive than the previous glow around the cannons. A few of them are hard to see though. Like Todd, the glow around the cannonballs there doesn't show up very well against the blue-ish background. Same with Davis, and Ceza, and Moreno, and Vega to a lesser extent. Maybe switching around these colors might work better? I don't know, just throwing out a suggestion.

Keep up the good work, dude. I'm excited to play it!

[sannemanrobinson]

Could you adjust the number of cannon balls next to the cannon according to the number of targets? So Davis would have 2 cannon balls because it has two targets. This would avoid missing any targets or having colour problem issues.

[swimmerdude99]

Looks really great Love it! coming along nicely

[Wingnut 16ga]

I love sannemanrobinson comments about the number of canon balls the same as the terts they bombard....that would really make it unique. Kinda hard to see the ladder in the key. Just some suggestion my old friend...you have come a long way on this and I can't wait to play it.

Great work!
