I think it all looks scrumptious. The bonuses seem good to me.

There are some minor positional tweaks (an Ankh crowding an "e" here, Amente sitting a bit close to a divider there) but I'm sure those are last-minute adjustments, waiting for all of the changes to be locked down.

Well, the image looked the same to me, so I hit refresh. Now all I can get is a broken image icon.

Ah. Hey. Wow, great! If you are making little tweaks:

How about moving the Amente in the right-side cartouche up 1 pixel?

Perhaps shift "Afterlife held" so that it is centered under "Ankh - for each"?

Maybe give a tiny bit more horizontal space to the Scarabs and Credits sections of the center cartouche?

It certainly looks fine the way it is, but someone here will point out that the appearance of the D:Amente on the map is further outside the norm than that of its cousins.

But when I get down to that kind of nit-picky, its time to be done. Next I'll be advising you to drop the transparency on that star pixel by 2%, and then where will we be?

Cairns - this is looking sweet...

I can't suggest anything more - other than...

1) Small Map
2) XML

And the preview images of them with army numbers 88 in.

Sorry if I have overlook this discussion (I didn't read the complete thread), but isn't the extra bonus for Afterlife a bit big with 2. You only have to take 1 extra territory without having an extra border.

Same for Eternal Life, but then you have to take a territory that other players also need to have an extra bonus. So maybe you should reverse the bonusses: 1 for Afterlife and 2 for Eternal Life (?)

Thanks Lone.Prophet for your comments.
Do you have suggestions as to what to call them that would be nice that includes the term ROBBER, as this is part of this map concept?

Also, if you find E1 or E2 annoying in Chinese Checkers, please get used to it, as there is the Battle of Actium coming that uses Ca for tert names and you will find that really annoying.

Sorry. :)

instead of robbers you could use names of famous pyramid explorers :roll:

OK, sorry for that. I already thought it must have been discussed before.

Very nice map by the way.
