the bonuses seem messed up. Here use this excel file to better approximate the values they should be.
http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/6/15/ ... S_CALC.xls

It might help a little more.

According to the file above

4_Green
7_Red
5_Purple
5_Blue
6_Yellow
3_Orange

              Final Forge


---The Portugal Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry furnace and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. There will be at least two days (but may extend pass that) for you to post any objections; if no one has posted any protest after two days the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. If after two days there is still discussion going on it may continue until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

Hm, it's looking good. I'd consider bolding the text, as it feels a little thin. The font is alright, and maybe a bold will fix everything, but if it doesn't, I'd consider some other choices.

i remember you suggested this before and i DID do it. But ive changed the font since then. I can easily add a little bold to the large version, but as you can see things are a little tight in the small, so i might leave the small the way it is.

Looking at it again im still not 100% happy with the positioning of the terr names so im going to move them around a little.

ps

Thanks for the FF status :wink:


EDIT: Coleman is currently looking over my XML and centering my coordinates. So ill have that up ASAP.

Your centering in the xml is really really bad, it's going to take me a few hours to fix.

Everything is about 3 to 5 pixels off on both maps. Also there were some missing borders and name problems, but I fixed all of those already.

The biggest problem was the special e a and u characters you used didn't make the xml happy. And you had a different name for Pombal but I forgot what that was.

XML:

Small Map:

Large Map:

If you wanted the centering to be absolutely perfect then all you need to do is make all the circles in the image one pixel larger left and one pixel larger up. Otherwise your circles don't allow for perfect centering.
