Its looking better, though. nice fast updates.

Your crazy! The old mountains were shit. The new ones are a huge improvement, although it is the Alps Kalp, you should make some of them bigger, have a size variance in there.

Hi Kap,

Just a few minor issues I have today. Been a while since I popped in here and I have noticed some great improvments! Well done you ;)

1. THe white borders you have just now are pretty inconsistant. Some are thicker than others, some are sharper than others etc. I think a quick redraw should do them some good.

2. I may be the only one, but I don't think the swiss flag next to the title (as good as it looks) suits the style of the map.

After those issues kap we shouldn't be far from your next milestone :D
What do you know about map making, bitch?

WHAT? You call a couple of "Greater Than" signs better than the other ones?!?!

Christ! - the new ones don't fit the map whatsoever - the other ones were so much better defined and actually looked like mountains.

Yeti, your a codenerd, you see mathematical signs in everything. Leave the pixels to the prose. 8-)

Kalp just needs to enlarge them a bit, and fill them in some...then you will see their glorious detail. The other mountains looks like a strain of ebola or something, very ugly. The new ones are proper.

Completely disagree - these...

Actually look like mountains.

Not some Copy and Paste Arrows.

I also think that they compliment the look a lot better too.

No see, that looks like mountains, if you cross them with ebola.

Don't tell me you can't see resemblance.

I think we should let kap decide what mountains to use. Seems either set are acceptable.

Definitely mountains #1. I don't like the stamped mountains, they don't fit the style of the map. And the new grey mountains look much better than the mountains you used to have.

EDIT: but I'd prefer if they were a little less bold. They have too much black/white contrast and contrast with the rest of the image, I think.

Well, looks like 1 and 2 are tied right now. I would say the exact opposite. Mountains 2 fit better with the style.

Regardless of what the poll and that code monkey says, option #2 is by far the best.

voted for #2, but it could be made a little darker -i would have gone for #1 but it looks more like someone sneezed rather than a mountain

#3 looks great, but with #2 and #3 I would kill the dots at the centre of the base of the mountain stamps
