Can we get a new poll about Mind/Reason, since Coleman came up with this idea after the last one was started? I'd like to hear what others think. Personally, I really think that with just one country being so important tactically, it should cost you something to hold it.

Here are the updated pics. I did not post the armies because Coleman is working on the XML and I will wait until he is done

I think you should go back to the ropes, just make them thicker.

Maybe make the text say "-1 for Mind without Reason" instead of just enumerating the penalty? The play on words is rather nice :P

Should be up to date and centered. On centering... Some circles looked off no matter what so I just tried to find circles like them and made them all look off the same way.

Making the impassable borders thicker REALLY looked bad. This gradient help distinguish them better.

Plus added the Mind without Reason and Reason & Mind text for the bonus section.

Oh Coleman... just thought I would point this out.
In your xml it has mind and reason being +1.

Yeah, and it has mind by itself being -1, this is so they cancel each other out to give the no effect for both.

EDIT: That having been said I did just notice a minor glitch with the xml: http://members.cox.net/gyrigo/CC/The8Thoughts_06.xml

It wasn't a huge deal, that should have fixed it.

That's the only way to program it, the log will read -1 and +1 both, canceling each other out.

Look great, the only thing I don't like is the white backround on the mind bonus. Everything else looks great!

I don't particularly like the new impassables, they don't fit with the rest of the map at all. What if you tried going back to the original ones but made the territory borders thinner? :?

Just looking at the XML, The continent name AlliedSymbols should have a space :wink: And the HoldingCenter would now show : You got -1 armies for holding HoldingCenter. :/ I suggest to change that continent name to Mind Without Reason, or something similar.

And I don't like the white impassables at all. Looks odd.

When I had spaces in the XML the code tester would say my code was broken. If it shouldn't be doing that I would love to put spaces in a lot of the names.

The reason I called it holdingcenter is because I'm an idiot. I'll change it. But it needs to be the same name as the +1 for both or it's just going to look weird.
