I don't think everything about #3 is perfect, but as a colorblind player who has trouble with many CC maps I really appreciate the shield shapes. The inclusion of a mini-map (which often have their own color issues) is not nearly as important to me as having some kind of distinction on the map itself... differentiated borders, texture distinctions, or in this case unique army shields.

What??? A map is supposed to look good. It's not supposed to be 'only as large as necessary'. The title and frame make it look like some map painting hanging from a wall. As does the canvas texture on the background. That part's of what makes this map this map... You would rather see this map without the border and with a smaller title because of screen space issues? What, you playing CC on an iPhone :lol: ?

I believe you read Twill's posting guidelines a bit too well. Using caps in your posts is pretty annoying, but on a map it's a free choice that might give the map the look you want it to have.
Besides, you didn't really look well. The font used in #1's bonus box is Digital, like the red numbers you see on Coke vending machines and stuff. I never saw lower case on a Coke machine, did you? And on map #6, the font looks the same in caps/non-caps, but there is a size difference. So he did use both capitals and lower case.

BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S BETTER ON A MAP. 27 out of the 98 Live/Beta maps (excluding #ed ones/ones like Conquer 4) are in CAPS, and it just goes with the map. That really shouldn't be a con in my book.
