Hey guys, don't be surprised by the next revamp.... Like for instance the proposed Brit Isles revamp; that map's been around almost as long as the Classic. Check out the revamp thread and proposed map here: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=35649
Blue's advantage in europe was the only flaw before but this is way worse. Really hard to tell between yellow and orange players now. please change it back
actually the new british isles is far better graphically and much more acurate new classic though the changes needed to be done with xml like i said in touch up thread it is way to bright
I AGREE THE CIRCLES AROUND NUMBERS ARE DISTRACTING... DID NOT LIKE THE NEW SET UP... BUT HEY WON AGAINST 2 PLAYER GAME....TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO...
Yeah, those 'lighter army shadows' or luminous circles are really distracting - the luminosity makes it hard to distinguish colour & I need to add codes every time I look at it to see who is who at a glance. The rest of it is fine - bin those circles though.
Bloody hell - what a load of whinging about a load of improvements... gone are the days of "I can't see teh blue armies in europe" complaints though - but now we get - "Those massive really bright white dots are disgusting"...
Get a grip people - the "WHITE DOTS" aren't that bright at all they're faded.
Also now Army numbers don't overwrite territory labels - which can only be a good thing?
sry yeti most of what happens here is great. but this time your way off the mark "new classic" is down right terrible. i know people worked hard on this but people worked hard on the edsil that still didnt make it right.
Unfortunately thats not very good at all. On some continents its difficult to see see what colour your army is. I work as an Art Director for an ad agency an its my job to spot stuff like this. You need to change it back. But appreciate the effort tho.
Its absolutely Fucking terrible - I know there is no way you are going to admit its a disaster and change back so lets have the old version as well please so we can still play on the CLASSIC map.

WHAT? It's now a LOT easier to see ALL the colours on ALL the continents?
Before it was a lot harder!?

The reason it's harder is that those light circles are such a busy distraction. The colours night show up on them but the whole thing's much harder on the eye. This is an awesome site and congratulations on a great job, just change those circles, please!
Look, please do redesign the Classic map. It's looked increasingly gray and incontinent since everyone else started putting up younger and prettier maps. But don't just jam a bunch of big ugly ass circles on top of the old one and have the audacity to tell us it's a new map. It's not a new map. It's the old map with big ugly ass circles floating awkwardly and unpleasantly over the top of it. REDESIGN THE WHOLE MAP and until then leave us with what we've been playing pleasantly with for two whole years now.
