That is how I do all of my maps. I make and place individual circles for each territory for each size map. Make a copy of the large map without circles. Scale it down to the small size and then add all of the circles again.

Correct. Like I said I always need to move my circles when I make smaller maps. Thats why some people choose to not use circles. Then when you scale there are not as many issues.

I also get the problem that when I resize, my circles become distorted.
It's annoying to do it all again, but doesn't take too much time honestly.

I agree with Widow... when you scale the entire image with the circles you may run into the small circles being an even number of pixels in height and width, which means the numbers (which have odd dimensions) will never be aligned properly.

There's quite often a requirement for displaying triple digits on your map.

In the interest of being nice I'm just going to say NO, and never ever suggest that again.
Double checking your xml. Hope nobody feels patronized when I do that, it's just almost all maps release with bugs lately and I'd really like to avoid it.
