Updated with Andy & Lupos suggestions. Will need to modify XML (hopefully only to move Taiwan army location) once bug is squashed.

Cheers,

Zim

P.S. I've wiped Illustrator from my hard drive, melted the install DVD and written zeros three times over the editable .ai file so this is the last update, not because I don't want to do any more but because I can't ;)

If the Taiwan thing still seems to be a problem... I could move the circle.

Rope. Tree. Hillary. Some assembly required.

Happy,

Circle has been moved per Andy's suggestion. Just need to update the XML to move the number placement.

The text is Lucida Sans at ~9 points. The change though is to the XML that generates where the conquer club engine puts the army numbers. I moved the Taiwan shadow and I will adjust the XML to center the army numbers in the moved shadow once Jota's XML checker tool is back online.

Cheers,

Zim

I apologize, but for those of us who aren't looking that closly its just saying that we like the map and really want to see it done, I can see how it could become cumbersome and annoying to those who really take the time and are trying to help get the map done. It is nice to show encouragement to the author but spaming was not the way to do it. So to Zim, congrats, great work the map looks great, to the rest of you, thank you for the effort to make this and other maps look great please take a look at the periodic table thread, we could use some help and to Andy, this map is incredibly th$%&ty. :D :)

Andy, we need to quench the map as I'm tired of losing on our secret server all the time I want to win a game on my map ;)

Looks from the forum like the PHP5 bugs impacting Space and Brazil have been quashed but Jota's tools still fail as before.

Cheers,

Zim
