Only a 10% difference? I'd prefer at least 15 or 20...

i would too, but i also prefer legibility and nicer, less cluttered images. i tried going for 800px wide, then bumped it up to 850 and still wasn't pleased. so i settled for 900px.

the guidelines say:
The 'large' map must be noticeably larger than the 'small' map; 9% larger is required but 33.3% (1/3) is recommended.


my large map is 11.11% larger than the small map so i'm within the guidelines.

maybe i'm just missing something or just really stupid but what is the meaning of the different color in the names of regions?

there's no continent bonus now is there?


P.S. you should use assault instead of attack :-$

no continent bonus but the colours delimit the area of influence for each kingdom and thus the farm/lumber/mine bonus which i forgot to mention in the legend and i'll fix right away.

that's absurd. there's no copyright on attack. screw hasbro.

You should also underline/highlight the 'Double' part of the farm/lumber/mine bonus description?

Otherwise, this looks great.

I really really really don't like the dark glass DiM :(. I feel it doesn't work on this map. Everything else is nicely saturated in colour...the glass just doesn't feel right. I much preferred the older...litter glass.`

sorry mate, you're in a minority here.
it's not such a big issue, i'm sure you'll enjoy the map even with the darker glass. :mrgreen:

Without being in a clan can I express my opinion towards the darker glasses. But I seem to be noticing that the title in gold and silver has its lighting coming down from the top but the legend border itself seems to be coming from the top right. Is it my imagination or has this been over looked?

The symbol that you have used for the and in the title looks different to the rest of the border. I know it is the same as the rest of the title but as you have used the same colouring as the border it sits out of place. Can I suggest you change it to a different colour scheme all together or make it like the border.

One other thing DiM, is it possible for you to move the top part of the border down a couple of pixels as it looks like the border is off the map. I am sure you did not draw it this way, but it just seems to end abruptly.

Great map and look forward to playing it.

it's just your imagination. both elements have the same light source.

Hm, do you suppose there's any way to improve the readability of the blue text? It is a bit dark, though not unreadable.

Anywho, working on the XML. Safari "unexpectedly quit" while I was in the wizard the other day. Now that I've had sufficient time to mourn, I'm getting back to business! It will take a while, however.

is it an issue? i'm not too keen on changing it, considering i've been tweaking it for a while and the general consensus was that all is well. i'm afraid that if i tweak it for you then the people that are happy now might start complaining and demand another change. and so on and so forth.
