working on it... but its slow going... life is very busy right now

So to recap here are the list of things needing to be done (with a couple extra things to do):

1 - Incorporate those ideas from page 17 into the map
2 - Make the small map 700x670 so that everything will be clearer and easy to read
3 - Change the Black Hole to either the Sun or the Earth
4 ...

on vacation next two weeks, no updates will be posted, but i might get a chance to work on it a bit...

havent seen anyone post first win in round 5... perhaps its me? yay for getting to advance! hopefully my other 2 games will end before friday when i go on vacation

when did it switch to 888? it used to be just 88 and if it went triple digits then it remained centered on the circle and that was that...

I havent started making a larger version... yet... I want to try to keep this size if I can...
I will change the glows to make it more readable...
Ill also play with expanding the season markings beyond the circles...

As for my signature font, whats wrong with that? It should be different from the ...

i changed the font and now need to adjust the glows on them to make them more readable... update coming very soon!

font replacements I like best:

Thoughts?

At the very least, you should have the symbols on the map somewhere

Another idea would be to explore the Zodiac Circle commonly used in Astrology

He touched me!!!
I'm hungry!!!!

Can we just go home??

I am surprised I made it thru round 3... the dice were very much against me! barely pulled thru in the last game...
I hope I have access to the tourney or that there is a break during my 2 week vaca in may...

personally, I think some things just shouldn't be a risk map. I have no suggestions on what you could do to improve this. A cluster gray circles with a black background.

Well really, I would suggest using the new large map size to expand this out a bit, and show the animal outlines at least ...

Ok, I give up... I cant figure anything out with the background... I can change the black hole image if its too much... ill dim the background a bit if thatll help but I like the starry background...
I contemplated the black hole being a Star or earth but a decay doesnt make sense... I dont want to ...

I am working on this... taking my time to get it looking right... please bear with me...

Yay! I love puppies! Now time for Graphics:
The entire top part of the map - the legend, the title - needs to be changed. The fonts are simply not working for me or this map.
The rifts - they look blurry and stretched, and I think they can be done away with completely. Just nudge the close areas ...

Editted legend... Added visual distinction to Territs connected to BH

I still think you could change the explanation of which territories decay on the map. Maybe say something similar to what ender mentioned already, like "All territories adjacent to the Black Hole loses 1 army each turn."

Connected to, adjacent to... Mean the same thing less confusion in my ...

Perhaps the wording should be "Locations adjacent to the black hole decay by 1 each turn."

This still doesn't convey the message that the wormholes are connected as well... I did change it a little, but can change it again if still confusing

I DISAGREE WITH THE 13th Zodiac and will NOT include ...

I'm in please... AoR 2 or 3... Foggy, sequential, no spoils...

Thanks to ViperOverlord for the heads up on this!

try increasing scorpio to +10, since it's connected directly to 5 other constellations (maximum elsewhere is 3), as well as having to be defended at 7 points (the most elsewhere is 5).

to create some space for improving the layout of the legend, u can ditch the bonuses for fire, air, water and ...
