If downtown is six then North Side and Lawrenceville deserve to be six also.


And I think that one of the contries in Lawrenceville is missing a name. :wink:

The background is hideous and takes the attention from the map.
Taking an enemy on the battlefield is like a hawk taking a bird. Though it enters into the midst of a thousand of them, it pays no attention to any bird other than the one it has first marked.

Like I stated i like the map before this one.....simple plain no glare like on so many maps we have on the site already ...........yes the fonts and county names could be worked on stuff like that.

The middle earth map is very nice ...no headache when looking at it , except for maybe that thing behind the ledgend , i dont know ............well anyway i took a country form Lawrenceville and added to parkway east .......need some help here no matter what im doing lol its not coming out right lol



Keep comment coming again please so I can figure out what to do with this thing........I'm going to wait for some more before starting againg ......... :?:

Agreed about the background.

And see the number of images... not needed. And the images were not worked, look at that rose with the black background, it sucks. The graphics of the map are poor, too. See those borders...

And the font is not good yet... Maybe will be better dont use letters that thick, and not only caps.

Likewise about the background. It was better before.

it's a little too complicated because of the background. too distracting.

get rid of some bridges. there's no point to rivers if every little territory is connected

Rope. Tree. Hillary. Some assembly required.
