Cool map. Minor point, in the yard, every gang has three members except the blacks. Maybe swap out ted with raheem or something?

cool mibi. did you examine the size of the army shadows?
and when you're finished, can you post the links to the new large and small images so i can continue with the centering, please.

Re: SUPERMAX: Prison Riot! pg 49) <--- LOOKING FOR XML CODER!
In the legend, it sounds like you have to hold the boss plus 3 gang members, for a total of 4. I thought it was 3 including gang leader. Could you clear this up?
Re: SUPERMAX: Prison Riot! pg 49) <--- LOOKING FOR XML CODER!
mibi - can you take the square away from the gang leader in the legend ... i don't think we're that stupid, but seen as we all are a little, maybe you could just underline it instead.
(at the very least, fade it into the background and expand a pixel or two to the right of the "r", it spoils the finish of the map at the moment) ... i see that the square is supposed to link to the squares around the (well suited) boxes on the map, but it just needs some tweaking ... or just have the "G" and the "L" capitalised as the link instead.
... Almost, but actually - i reakon it sounds like you have to hold the Gand Leader and 3 regular members for a bonus of +1
[is this right mibi?]
*Also mibi - is the colour of Luis (especially), in the bottom right corner a little different to his other members? ... the yellow seems a little lighter ... or are they all meant to have different shades or something like that? (Plus the red ring around Luis' circle is a bit dodgy perhaps) ... not that any of these last matter all that much.

I will adjust that square, i never liked it anyways. And Luis has am Irish mother, which explains the lighter color.

I don't think I will adjuct the army circles. I seem to center them fine in photoshop. are you talking about large, small or both?

they arn't octagons, just badly degraded circles. and the inner circle is 18px and the outer edge is 26px in diameter. On the small map its 14 and 21. Although some circles vary by a pixel or so because those inmates are more gangsta.

OK...so you don't want your army numbers dead centre for those that are o-ut a pixel or two (which appears to most of them)...is that what you'[re telling me, and if that's the case, then i'll proceed and centre them as best I can., but they won't be perfect.

Thanks cairns, the centering looks fine to me. It is only the most noticable when you have 88 armies on a territory and thats not too often. also, this is prison, life is rough around the edges.

It's not died - it's finished... it needs to get stamped and moved.

basically what i meant was that suddenly interest in it died, that map didnt die tho. And idk why, same thing happened to conqueropoly tho
Re: SUPERMAX: Prison Riot! pg 49) <--- LOOKING FOR XML CODER!
Have you expirimented with different colors in the background? The green doesn't seem like a prison.
me have no sig
Re: SUPERMAX: Prison Riot! pg 49) <--- LOOKING FOR XML CODER!
I don't think the interest has died - I think that Mods are just being mega slow about sorting it out...
