I have no idea what you're talking about natty, this whole "not unstickied" hogwash is just going to get you in trouble.

I'm meaning the icons are blurry. And I feel your pain about text layers being multiple, but it's really handy for editing.

I decided to drop by so isaiah didn't end up crying himself to sleep tonight. Looks good for a start, and I'm also of the mind that it'd be a lovely capstone to the USA 6 Map Pack. Provided you can put every territory on the map.

While the new icons are better than the color-coded carnival of confusion that the circles were, I think they're too indistinct. Blurriness just doesn't really fit for gameplay icons that define how the map works. Let the terrain and the sea be the blur section, but not what people need to ...

I don't think the white bridges really work. They just stand out too much from the style of the map. Going with a similar structure but solid black (like your minor gates) is more likely to look good. I also agree with MarshalNey on the change to the bottom right's wording. And the top left's ...

I like the bright colors, it's a lovely reverse of the typical "cold=dark=Denmark" equation shown in a lot of other maps. Also, they're unlikely to cause color-blind issues with their large variance.

However, the bridges don't match the map's style at all. I would be more in favor of More Dots like ...

Cancel that. I'm under a lot of stress both in work and during my free time, and due to me effectively spinning R&C's gears to no real gain for the past few weeks working on it is a chore I don't have the mental patience for right now. As of now, Oliver and I are putting this map on vacation until ...

Killer neutrals are calculated as soon as player's turn begins, before bonuses. No bonus on a killer neutral will ever be collected.

I think black is the wrong color, or the vector is a bad one, because they don't look like fences at all. They look like boxes connected by lines, like some reject border style from Microsoft Word. I don't think that's your intent.

In Britain "Bloody" is right up there with "Damn" and "F***". As far as I'm familiar, there's only one worse (that I won't repeat here).

I've started work on Version 16. I've looked at your suggestion natty and I'm doing most of them. On the territory thing though, the current territories are 2 pixels wide. I tried 1 pixel early on in the map's life, and it looked terrible (never released, gotta trust me). Instead of redoing them I ...

Anything before 1923 in the US is public domain, so you are free to use it as much as you wish.

It must be witchcraft that MarshalNey tried to post right behind me the same things. Hang him!

I'm going to go on a different tack (no pun intended, I swear!): clarity needs some work.

- The introduction paragraph just says "blah" to me. Perhaps instead of the current wording, the following:
"The emperor lies dead in the forum. Civil war is erupting across the city. Control of the gates are ...

When I was talking about the bridges, I wasn't meaning you need to change each one to be different. Just change the black line to be something like a bridge. What you've got for the Monzen-Nakacho / Moon Island connection would be fine.

Actually, Isaiah Currington could be a legit Salem-esque name. Just sayin'.

As for the actual map, please a different thingy other than solid red. You've got enough fences and they do break up the map well, but the red reminds me of my first version of The Citadel (used the exact same shade, no ...

As I recall, the only thing that needed to be changed was a legend element, uninvolved with the accuracy of the map itself, and only regarding its clarity. It wasn't a case of anyone asking for him to compromise his map's look, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back as best I can tell.

That schedule has been shown by studies to drive anyone attempting it for more than a couple weeks absolutely nuts.

it's the 3rd or 4th time that i post something and you either don't respond at all or respond to just some parts of my message and delete what you wish to ignore.

A+ for attitude and setting an example.
I quoted the major points. To be honest, since it was a repost I skimmed it to find this out ...

still no names on the map? would it really be such an impossible task to add names for the tech terits?

Already refuted twice over, there is absolutely no need to do this, and if it WERE done it would look ridiculous.
on top of that, the vertical lines almost fade away in some areas. for example ...

I'll agree with isaiah on the periods, you really don't need them and they could be re-interpreted as random (and wrong) pixels. Also, would it be possible to center the iButho chieftain names in the legend? With iButhos itself being centered, it makes more sense for all of them to be that way as ...

Version 15

Updates:
- Lightened the SC/OC text color to a lighter shade of brown
- Added a note about researches assaulting in the legend
- Altered the bridge shadow to be more in line with the mountain shadow (consequently the west-side bridges are practically invisible shadow-wise)
- Altered ...

Well, I think the thread has served its purpose and is no longer producing a good discussion of the topic.

Are you two done? Because as far as I can see you both are having a whiny temper-tantrum when both of you could be busy working on a map or commenting. We get it that you both disagree with each other, stop arguing and let it go.

Ninja-re-reply: I agree with Victor and forgot to say it originally. The flag makes the title almost impossible to read. Perhaps lighter tones of red, white, and blue?
