that being said i suggest moving Salaj army numbers bellow the terit name because right now if somebudy activates colour codes, the letter will overlap Salaj .
and one other small issue is in Timis where i'd like to see the terit name moved a bit further to the right.
there's plenty of space to do these adjustments on both small and large.
other than that it seems fine.
PS: i'm not sure how the xml deals with special characters like Ä,Ć®,Č,Č,Ć¢ because right now i see in the xml ConstanČa is written as Constanța

Salaj under, Timis a couple to the left, got it.
Need to use the special characters for XML to parse it properly. If you use the link you should be able to see it parsed. (Knowledge imparted by yeti_c)
Will do the fixes right after I go get myself some ciggies, heh.

It's been here just over a week... patience, grasshopper. The idea behind stickying a map here for a while is to draw attention to the fact that it's nearly done, since threads in the Forge are often forgotten/overlooked. It's a good map, and it''ll get there soon enough.
oaktown wrote:One effect of seeing the map with the army counts is that they really pop out - the elements of the map are very light, and the numbers are, well, ugly (which is no fault of any mapmaker). They are so strong it makes the borders and territory titles look even more washed out than they already are - it might improve the overall look to darken the borders and titles up just a bit. ??

I can hardly read it and I'm having trouble seeing borders.
e_i_pi wrote:I get the feeling that this map is going to be a nightmare for colour blind people. Maramures and Maldovu will be difficult to tell apart on the main map. I think a reasonable solution is make the borders on the mini-map a bit darker and/or thicker. Also, the river between Constanta and Ialomita will probably be impossble to tell apart from the land. I'll run it through my CB filters when I get home and post comparisons
