Re: Baltic States [9/30] V33 P32 Graphics Stamp??

Post by thenobodies80 »

agree with koonzt. Make the black outline like the one you have for states in the top left corner (title)
Another thing that looks strange is the sea....usually sea is darker when it becomes deeper, instead you have sarker colors near the coast line. Also the river has a different color than the rest of water on the map.

Apart for these minor things, this map can be stamped now imo
Well done Bruce =D>

To answer. ... I can take it down slightly on the names. ....

As to the water. .. Rivers and seas are never the same color. .. hence the different colors. .. As for stroke.... I like that it is darker closer than lighter. .. Something different.

without more trees, u'll need to find some other way to fix the small differential between the easiest and hardest latvian bonuses, for example by increasing riga to +6 at the same time as decreasing zemgale to +1, otherwise the riga bonus is destined to be ignored in most games.

we're not quite there yet! the above has not been addressed.

OK, but ian gave a good reason to do the adjustment, so why not do it? It should only take a couple of minutes to do. The glows for the names. ;)

Bruce, as an aside, remember to check the four new colors with it as well :)

Selija and Zamgale might be an issue with player 11.
