Is that a freeway between them, or a bridge? Or both? And if it's a crossable bridge, why can't Opera House use it to cross and attack the Zoo?
It doesn't matter if they are on the same Freeway, what matters is that the instructions say Bus Depots can attack each other via the Freeways as in Freeways being a utility to get around.If bus depots can attack other bus depots, it should just say that - don't add a level of confusion trying to figure out if Bondi is along the same freeway as Revesby.
Opera House... you should totally add it, since that's what most non-Australians think of when they think of Sydney. After you've done that, could you add some Koala bears climbing eucalyptus trees, kangaroos wearing boxing gloves, and Crocodile Dundee drinking a Fosters?
If this is supposed to be a tourist map, add it. But I think this is supposed to be a transit system map, which doesn't need the opera house.

2) I really like the busses
3) You cant see all of the name Monterav, sorry if its already been noted
4) Maybe increase the bonus for waverly since it now has 8 borders?

Firstly I dont like the traffic light crossing they are too untidy and some of them are miscoloured. I little rework shouldnt be to much for a man of your calibar and experience
My next concern is the square dotes used to line the roads. There rather inconsistant and I feel lines would work better.
Oops, don't know what happened there but will fix.Oh, and Parramatta isnt formated thet same as the other terr names and is caught under its army circles

TaCktiX wrote:In the midst of some of your repainting, some text got painted over:
- Opera House
- Concord
Also, I think that the traffic lights are a little TOO close to the freeway, it's making them blend in in some places:
- Rookwood/Burwood
- Peakhurst/Hurstville
- Rockdale/Monteray
- Ryde/Epping
You've got plenty of space at those crossings to move the traffic lights a little bit away from the road. Do the same with the legend description.
Since you're going to keep the bothways description for routes (which I still disagree with), perhaps PhotoShop in a 1px line to make them look like arrows instead of the caret symbols? And bothways should be two words, not one.
[/quote][/quote]As I'm sure you noticed, these are really minor points, I think this map is getting close to some stamping action.

oaktown wrote:Alright, let's stamp this sucker.
And my apologies for the Opera House comment - I honestly didn't see that you had added it, and I thought Andy was asking for it!
And I kind of agree that it doesn't fit the look of the map, but I don't know that redrawing it would be worth the effort.
TaCktiX wrote:Well, it looks like a hand-painted Opera House, and since that's what you were going for, good job. I'd say my only lingering concern is the hefty hyphenation: Cen-ten-nial Park. Is there ANY way to change that so it doesn't look so...separated?
