Ok, I made West India a bit lighter. I think it should be good for everyone now.

Ok, this is the last colour tweak, I hope. I changed Mongolia a bit since it looked too dark compared to, well, everything else, and I also changed West Europe a bit to make it less glaring.

Here's a couple of thumbs up.

Oh, thanks for the thumbs. Uh... can you put them there, next to the paperweights, where all the other thumbs are? Thanks.

On a more serious note, a few things I could use opinions on... anyone think the title could use some more ornamentation, or the legend? Does anyone feel they look too simple, and would like to see something a bit more elaborate? I kind of feel the current style fits the overall theme, but I have to ask, because at the moment I don't really have any other ideas on how to develop the graphics.

Title is good for me.

They're a bit simple but I think that's fine. There's enough going on with the map. It keeps it from being cluttered.

I think it all fits and is dandy.

So... what else is there to do?

Gimil or Redbaron, maybe you guys would have some input here?

There are minor errors in legend on small map (in Eastern Asia), you can find them

And a minor suggestion in legend : it's better to put Middle East below Siberia

No? Please be more specific.

Why is it better?

You wrote China with small letter

How should I explain :lol:

If we look at the map as a whole, we will start from The West, then Eastern Europe and end in Siberia (as a continuation of European Russia, which is part of Eastern Europe). Then we will start again from Middle East - India - China - and South East Asia. Or simpler : just put Eastern Europe and Siberia near each other. Hope you understand what I mean.

I said this is a minor suggestion, because this does not affect anything, just make it perfect

Ok, that can be fixed.

Yeah, I don't really see the point. It's impossible to arrange consistently accross the whole legend, as Eastern Asia has to be at the right, and the current order at least follows a consistent logic (both sides go counter-clockwise).

Sorry I don't have too much time these days to comment on game play, mostly just browsing and giving first impressions.

That being said, I'm really amazed, and impressed, at your recent use of color and texture. Keep up the great work.

by **natty dread** on Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:21 pm

Thanks Seamus.

Corrected the legend spelling in the small version.

A few mountain chains looked off to me (Himalayas, Urals, a couple of others) so I went and redrew them. See if you can spot the differences!

Anything else on the graphics department?

Still look like angels to me :-k

by **natty dread** on Sat Feb 04, 2012 7:40 pm

Do you see demons there as well?

by **natty dread** on Sun Feb 05, 2012 4:27 am

Bison... you've made your opinion on the mountains clear, and I appreciate your opinion, but everyone else seems to like them, including me, so I will be keeping the current style.

Anyway, here's test results on the small image with 88:s.
