I did the coding for the Conquer 4 map... and during that I found that if you name your continent bonuses the same then the Log will group all the logs together and only write out one log...
So what I think you should do is rename all the "King" continent bonuses to something appropriate i.e. "Kings" and then it will tell you how many armies you get in total... instead of having a few logs for 2 kings 3 kings 4 kings and 5 kings...
This would also work with your shape bonuses.

Thanks for the advice. I will post an updated XML file later with the chnges you suggested.

Alright, lets see the XML images for large and small one more time, plus links to versions without the coordinates, plus a link to the latest XML.
Just to make sure you haven't fussed anything up.

One of your continents is named "Shape Groups" and the other 2 are "Shape Group"

Ok here are the latest pics requested by Andy. Small and Large, with and without armies. Plus the XML. I also changes the name of the artist in the top right corner. I was using my last name but that did not make sense since no one knows that. I changed it to my screen name instead.
PICS:

Beautiful!
One thing: Take out 'by' and just leave widowmakers, maybe a touch smaller.
Cheers

I think the widowmakers design is a little overboard for this map, but it doesn't bother me one bit. If that's what you like then I'm good with it and ready to play this map so hurry up!!! ;p

the name of the map maker is too obvious. try inserting it somehow different.
look at my map and find my signature. is very discrete and you almost don't see it so it does not bother the eye.
or look at the USA map.
just my opinion. otherwise i think the map is gorgeous and i can hardly wait to play it.

Yes I did make it. I was think that no one would know who Hooton was (my last name) so I decided to make this. It took about 4 hours. I just made one side WidoW. Then flipped it. Then adjusted Makers. BAck and forth. When I was close, I built it with vector art in Illustrator.
I will take out the BY: and move the name to the bottom left and make it smaller.

P.S. I actually liked the old version, in regards to signature...it was classic, and seemed to flow with the map... and had it's own unique feel.

lol. yeah the bottom right. but it's not obvious. it blends with the overall aspect.

i think the signature is excellent, and not too big. A lot of hours went into this, so everybody may as well know who put in those hours when they play.

if he puts it somewhere in a corner and makes it less obvious people will still see it but won't get distracted by it.
for instance you wrote made in oaktown on your map. it's visible people see it and thank you for the map, but it really blends in and does not disturb at all.
now imagine you wrote "made in oaktown" with a 72 size font and in pink colour with fluid texture. it would really hurt the eyes and disturb the overall aspect

I liked how you had it before but lets not get into a big descusion over somting as minor as a signature
