For the love. lone, just gray the darn circles so we can play this. That would solve all the visibility problems right?

But that's one of the main problems with the classic map. It's even why some people have called for a revamp. Here, you can see where I posted the classic map as my own map as a joke. Even though it wasn't serious, one of the first things people asked for was for brighter colors, especially in Europe. And you don't even need to change the colors. Just make the circles less transparent.

And dont forget the concern about the legends numbers.

I like the legend numbers, they just need to be a little brighter. (Just the number part, not the whole circle they are in)

I can tell that after 76 pages you are very burnt out on this. You could maybe get someone to quickly do these changes for you?

Sorry, I have to whine some more :( : On the large map, the shadows of the army circles are going in the opposite direction of the bevel. Also on the large map, the bevel and shadow of the numbers on the on the legend are going in the opposite direction in relation to the small map. And in the title the shadows are going in a few different directions. I think there's a global light option on Photoshop that will make all the light go in the same direction. I'm sorry I even had to mention this; I know how bad you want this quenched.

one final clashing colours issue - i think it should be ok but could you post a neutral 88 on all terrs. should be fine but needs a look.

The neutral color is going to change soon to a darker gray, so it should be fine. To worry about the white player might be worth while though. (Yes, there will be a white player.)

Some more whine:

When comparing the legend on your large and small map, I found that the circles with the value of the the continent bonus have a different shadow angle. On the large map, the shadow is on the north-west side on the circle, and on the small it is on the south-east side.

Really?!

They do look completely different - the Light source has been completely flipped for both Army circles and Bonus Circles...

have you seen british isles :P

not that that matters becasue that was before the foundry.

But they may be different but if there any need to have them identical in both images?
