I think, you should start from scratch with the graphics for this one... There's nothing in the current graphics that really conveys the feeling of Australia to me.

Sure, but Perth is an Australian city, and the current graphics just don't say "Australian city" to me...
Anyway, I think if you did something similar as you did on Pot Mosbi (which I think is graphically one of the best I've seen from you) but adapting the style for Perth, bringing out the unique aspects of the city, I think that could bring good results.cairnswk wrote:Well London is already claimed, although i've still got others in the classic series,,,but i feel that would be getting too greedy.
Just stay away from Reykjavik... I was planning to do that
koontz1973 wrote:As for the sense of this not being a Perth map, that may be because of the classic city theme that cairnswk used for the map pack. By removing the lovely border and making the city images larger and changing the border to an Australian theme would really help.
Been looking at this city since I started Jakarta, and an image like you have for New Zealand would really help a lot. Not the style but the shape.
I know you are getting lots of opinions so I will leave you with these thoughts. Looking forward to the next image.

I think you should either change the colour of the bonus regions or get rid of the swans. I prefer the first option because I like the swans !

They have names on them. It isn't that hard to figure out.
