Just bumping this, in case a certain graphics mod missed my post from three days ago and/or somehow didn't see the new update incorporating the colour changes he requested. ;)

Alright, carry on. Take note that gimil has been moving and his internet access has been spotty of late, so please cut him some slack, qwert.

And image size isn't my department, but I'm pleased to hear you're going to try to make the big image, well, big.

Well, that would be why he hasn't been on live chat or answered my PMs, then. :lol: He'll be in the foundry soon, though, right? Or at least a graphics stamp-licker or something...?

On your North Italy minimap, V6 is named wrong.
On the full image the territory is named V4, but on the minimap version it is named V6.

I didn't have time to read up on this thread but I still don't agree with the bright white stroke around terr names, I believe it is just overkill for the sake of visability. I think it could be greatly reduced and made alot more sutle without ruining the readability of terr names.

Thats my main issue right now, I would like a little more discussion on the stroke before I stamp this map.
What do you know about map making, bitch?

option B
Image
option C
Image
option D
Image
option E

Now if you think that some option is good,then i will change to these option what you think that is more readabile and more visible on map,but if you think that all is bad,then you can take option E and show me how these must look.

I think I could happily live with D if the opacity of the stroke was greatly reduced, but yeah, D is a step in the right direction. C would also work for me as well if the opacity of the stroke was brought down.

to me :Option B looks best.

A white is too bright.
C you 're missing sight of black in white of N5 N4 and W8
D shows fading away of V1 N3

But then I am facing an office 19" screen ...(midrange quality?)

I think you should not forget the millions facing worse screens...

I prefer option C of the ones above - I took a slight stab at it myself...

Tahoma, Bold, 9pt, Sharp, RGB 62,31,3 (for the "black" and 255,255,255 for the white)
