ok
ill add a little stroke.

i had to sit and think about the addition around the island. If you use it then I think you need to follow the contours of the coast.

i agree

ill try a precice glow but i think that will look worse.

no no, i'm not saying more precise... but look near analanjirofo, where the piece of sava hangs down. The effect should probably follow the contour of the island better.

The same with the northern tip of Diana.

no what i was saying is to get that i would have to change the outer glow to a precise one which i dont think will look good,
but i will try and see what it looks like.

The colors on the map just don't sit well with me. The far north continent makes me think of blueberry yogurt that's been out way too long, and the bottom left one makes me think of strawberry yogurt that's been out way too long. I would suggest making them a little more saturated in their respective color areas (purple, red) to make it not look like you're throwing around spoiled dairy products.

Also, the mountains in the Impassable Terrain box could move to the right by just a smidge so it doesn't seem like you squished it in there with the text.

Finally, the knots are too big and remind me of popcorn (more so on the Bonus Key than the Impassable Terrain).

In other news, it's been a while since I checked up on this map, and I like the fact that you shortened the territory names. Good work so far on this.

thanks, and yes.
One thing about that is the XML. In the XML shall i put the full or the shortened name?

I'd do full names in the XML. Since the abbreviation key is at the bottom of the map, people shouldn't be confused.

Along with fixing up the current knots, you should put "holes" in the piece of "wood" (I'm taking a guess that it's wood) with the title on it and have the rope go through those and end with another knot. Right now the rope just hangs from the box. Also, the rope should go behind the Bonus and Impassables boxes and come through a hole - right now it's on top the whole time.

Really, if you actually tried to hang the signs as they are now, it'd be a colossal failure

You could always do both full names and abbreviations (in the XML). I suggested this in the Europa map too, something like Alaotra-Mangoro (A-M) could work. It would make it easier for speed gamers or anyone in a hurry that doesn't have time to read the key

Bandwidth has nothing to do with how many items you have on your photobucket. Its to do with how much is being requested from you account to be showen on other sites. That twill sig is whats busting your photobucket.
