I can do a "from above" perspective, and add in the appropriate attack route in front of the battalion. That said, I will have to drop having the text on the territory directly, as the Tower is most certainly square, and not some bizarre rectangle.

Plus gimil is right, they need shadows.

I was burned out from doing all the other updates, so I didn't look at the size of the attack routes much. This will be fixed (I've got the space, easily).

EDIT: Forgot the army placement notes. Here's the image:


I'll be editing 2nd battalion to have better-spaced borders, but I'm pretty sure if I notched an 888 test on everything, they'd be fine.

This is looking very clean and clear, although i am a little confused in front of Jenkins Ave with the white paths all over the place there. It seems excessive and sometimes as you know less is more. I understand what you are trying to do there, but players might ask what do they mean or what are they there for.

The same with the path from President to School of Business, is that a legit attack path of just there for decoration, because it doesn't correspond to the Attack Route in the legend.

Also, is there an attack route between Kilo/Lima and Echo/Hotel, and from Romeo/Oscar to LIma/Mike, also Bryd Hall to Ducket Hall.

I think the legend could do with something special, not too much, perhaps a nice simple thin border, and is it possible to place the Avenue of Remembrance under Jenkins Ave, and re-position that instruction on the Parade Deck across the bottom of the legend in one sentence ??!

The rounded corners near McAlister Field House are a little jagged, is it possible to smooth that.

Overall though, shaping up nicely.

The sidewalks on that side of campus are relatively intricate, and each building has a different style in front of it for whatever reason. It follows my theme and since it isn't messing up map clarity, I don't think it needs changing.
