I only have a small thing that has been bugging me: The texture for the bonus shields looks a bit strong and bugs my eyes after a few moments. Would they look better with the texture lessened a bit in opacity? It isn't really a problem for the green shields, but for the yellow and purple it is. If I'm the only person that is bugged by this though then it probably doesn't need to be changed.

What do you know about map making, bitch?

Glad to see this in the forge =D>
Just a small nitpick: I notice the grass can be seen behind the "board" showing how you can move (Between the cracks to be precise) Would it look better if there were black between the seems, as with the main board?

Aloha! Er, avast! Or something...

I still say I'm less than impressed with the title, though that's merely the entirety of a minority, it seems. At any rate, not all of your shields on the large version are centered on the horizontal axis (I realize why they aren't on the vertical), particularly the yellow ones.

I'm most interested to see what nobodies has to say. I'm rather surprised gimil didn't have anything more to say.

Sully, with the shields, on both large and small, I centred the numbers, (if you look in the first post, you can see the spoiler with the numbers in). I then adjusted the shields to fit around the numbers. It is more noticeable in the small version with the shield on the left of the territ but this again is in case of the 888s. The 88s on the large are centred but the 88s on the small are 2 or 3 pixels to the left to the 888s fit into the territ completely.

You could rather just center the 88:s on both versions - it doesn't matter if the 888:s go over the squares on the small, as long as they don't overlap each other.

These are pretty damn centred.

Here you are natty. Both sets of positions and in larger games, the 4 rows should start with 3 troops on each number. A normal 3 neutral will pop up if not used. All centre rows will start with a 1 neutral.
Here is a new xml as I had forgotten to add the reinforcement part of the code so everyone gets 5 troops only per round.

Sorry to say this but I think this might be the most luck dependent map I've ever seen! If you get to start and roll good you'll win. Not much strategy to this map! I'll still play it though :)!
