illinois could have little obama heads instead of radioactive symbols

and maybe texas could have little shoes...

Well I am not going to do Obama heads (very funny though) and I don't understand the shoes. I still think the long horn is a better icon.

I think he meant cowboy boots.

Well I don't have a problem with changing them but is it really needed? I mean the long horn icon is also very good. If enough people think the boot are more appropriate then we can talk about it but I like the current icon for Texas.

by **Natewolfman** on Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:36 pm

keep it long horn, when i think texas longhorn pops in my mind before cowboy boots

by **the.killing.44** on Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:39 pm

I agree with ^

by **TaCktiX** on Sun Dec 21, 2008 10:41 pm

Graphically, the Rockies' city names are very difficult to read, particularly on the navy blue states. Making the white glow a little stronger could help a bit, but it seems that the solution that worked for the other 5 maps doesn't match with the color palette unfortunately.

by **lgoasklucyl** on Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:13 pm

Love the maps, can't wait to play them

One small thing- Penn, NY, and NJ are not part of New England technically, it's only the rest of the states. Would northeast be more applicable? I don't mean to be nit-picky, but figured I'd comment with the speed things actually get pushed out of here once they get this far along

I know but they are in the current USA maps bonus region , New England. I am keeping the states group according to the current USA map.

Thanks

Well on teh legend I switched to white text with a dark glow. I can do that for the 3 maps that are dark blue and see what happens.

by **WidowMakers** on Sun Dec 28, 2008 11:36 pm

While I was making the text changes to the dark states int eh Rockies map, I noticed the legend boxes were all messed up and fuzzy. SO I tweaked the lines a bit and redid the Large Rockies map.

THAT IS ALL I DID. No coordinate changes.

I will now go back and do these same tweaks to the legend boxes of the other 5 large maps.
