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.

Nah, it's fine. I hadn't really been following the graphics discussion, so I wasn't sure if how much it had been discussed.

Congrats. Looking forward to this one. I'm curious if the Griffins/Monkeys will factor into gameplay.

Very nice map DiM, this one is really a piece of art. I really like the graphics. But I have two minor suggestions.
The first one is the title, it seems there's a pixel fest on it, for example the W of warlocks. But in general the whole title could be refined a bit. I know it's a boring thing to do when you have to work on pixels but I think that the final result is worth the effort. ;)
The second thing is about the icons, some are very hard to see...to name a couple of them: Gurad, Jolk, tulangeo. I see this issue mostly where they are "faded" with a darker background.

Another small thing, it's possible to move zlogy a bit to north to have the connection with Jugi more clear and visible? Maybe the same can be done between Milogy and Costelul.

And again (sorry I know i said just 2 things :mrgreen: ) The roads that connect Gurad and Jangos and Jangos and Sorle (?) [I hate that blue color] look weird, like there was a sort of earthquake there! lol

As said a very nice map, looking forward to play it. =D>

added a light glow to the icons. it should make the icons more visible.

moved zlogy and costelul and gave some distance there.

i think they will. and if they don't we'll just tweak it in the xml to make them more attractive.

imageshack's UI sucks big time.
photobucket offers a 10GB monthly bandwidth which is more than enough for CC use, so i've created an account especially for CC.
my other bandwidth consuming projects will have their own accounts separated from CC and this way i won't exceed the 10GB pe month :)

i think sully is trying to figure out a way to insert some world domination viruses into the xml code and that's why it's taking so long. :roll:

Sorry DiM, did not mean to make that mistake. This map was the first of the current crop into the FF and it looks like that last one out into beta.

Now this is what I propose you do to Sully.
