Brazil is pretty goddam ugly.

Could do with a nice revamp, just like that good ol' boy did to Canada.

What's wrong with Greece? Also I hope that isn't in order of worst at the top, cause Tamriel is surely worse than Ancient Greece at the very least.

O think Greece is absolutely awful! I don't mind Tamriel all that much, however...

So is 8 thoughts.

With all blending options turned off, 8 thoughts is just 300 layers of black lines and blobs :-)

Its not the type or number of PS blending options and default textures, its what you do with them that counts.

Besides which the original author already denied a revamp in the old Keyogi revamp thread (if my memory is correct) edit: i see ancient greece is on the suggested revamps list on the first post...i will double check the keyogi thread to make sure.

KEYOGI wrote:I've had offical word back from Mr. K and he does not want Ancient Greece revamped. In his words:

If anyone wants to fix the XML to center the army numbers on their shadows better, thats okay cause i'm aware some of them are a tiny bit off-center, other than that, no changes.


I'm sure everyone can respect his decision. 8)

Dare I suggest a revamp of Age of Merchants? :shock: I really like this map, but find some of the territory names really hard to read (it's the S's F's and J's that get to me!)
