PEI kinda has a circle issue

NB looks like arrow is poking stuck in it.

Circle is interfering with Sonora a bit. And Oklahoma's numbers are over part of Arkansas. Looking good!

The circle is slightly over Minnesota and the numbers are over Miami. Other than that, it looks great! :)

If you look closely, the bonus areas seem lapped over the ones to the south of themselves. If you change the direction of the angle of the light to be directly over the top, it will fix this.
Also, The inside shadow is pumped up quite high, and is overpowering in some areas. I think that you could just cut the opacity down on it.
I like the font choices, and the text is very clear. I believe that the outer glow will be able to be cut down, after you adjust that inside shadow on the land.
Would still like to see the opacity turned up on those background images, so that they are more clear to the viewer, as to what they are. The elephant is facing to the "right", maybe the donkey should be facing the "left". Just an idea. ;)

"Get over it. Your side lost. It is exactly these views that you maintain, that are the reason for your defeat. You ARE the past, and you WILL be buried in the past, ...eventually."

This sounds suspiciously like a famous quote of a certain Soviet Premier

"Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you."

I guess you've got to be a fanatic to see in the original map (before it was brought to the attention of the site bureaucrats) a hidden political agenda against the president.

Even if it was meant to contain a "dissenting" political message, it is still pretty scary to see people reacting with this enraged "you-right-wing-nut-jobs-should-stop-breeding" tirade at someone making a map that is, in the mind of the fanatic here, an OBVIOUS attack against a president. You are beyond "indignant", you are deranged.

@ arch,
Where have you been ?
That issue has already been settled. The first drafts of this map seemed to me, and others, to be taken straight off the Glen Beck show, if you know what I mean. So I decided to take the opposing view, straight off the Edd Schultz show. It only seemed fair. ;)
Isaiah has seen fit to drop the party bashing, and get on with producing, what I believe to be a kick-ass map.
Get with it man. You are trying to go backward, and I doubt that anyone that is fond of this project, wants to do that. :roll:

Winnipeg was included in the Metis based on the historical area of the Metis in 1800's Canada (maybe late 1700's). I know that the Metis are still trying to gain recognition from the Canadian government, so I included them in this map set in 2050. I removed Manitoba based on suggestions from thenodies80 to make Canada easier to hold. Personally I would rather have both, but I deferred to those that have experience in such manners.

The left facing humor of it is cool but it fits the shape of the bonus sweet just as it is.

Here's the latest with the legend area turned down and the text in the legend all the same.

Some of the number are a little off, nothing that can be fixed fast. Any other graphic nitpics or can we get this Gr'd?

Looking good Isaiah. The only thing that I'd consider re-working is the bottom legend, in regards to named Bonus Zones. It is a little inconsistent and un-uniform. Is there any way that you can rework that area?

I'd also maybe bump KY's name up and over a little, to clear space away from the army circle.

Okay, just to make sure I understand. What do you see as inconsistant? Just the bonus names? Or the layout of the bonus names? (I gather that is the un-uniform point).

Will do on KY! :)

The donkey looks like he can be lowered and moved a little to the right.

Just a quick version. I Changed 4 of the bonus colored boxes and text. The text is a barbedwire font with the colored boxes now colored fractured brick. Please tell me what you think, if you like it then I will do the rest the same way!

Hmm... it just doesn't fit with the rest of the map. I think I would stick with a more standard font, otherwise, it begins to look too busy.

I like the other font, but maybe you could use that barbed wire to outline the legond. But enlarge it first.
The donkey looks pretty good, just back him up about an 1/8 inch. Maybe the elephant would look good at that scale also.
