Hey IL. Thanks for taking some time to implement some changes. I’ll download and check out the new map tonight.
one thing that does not make sence is to align the two sides of USA for wraparound because nobody needs this.
Yeah, this isn’t all that important since there is plenty of space in the territories. I just thought it was strange that they weren’t initially lined up.
The border idea to me is a waste of money because it costs on average $10 bucks a sq foot for printing and that adds up to wasted space printed. If you really want a nice border i can easily make one just for you.
I was thinking that it would be easy enough to shrink the map by 5% (or less) so that adding a border would still leave the surface area the same size. I don’t know much about these type of graphics so I’m unsure if it as simple as I thought it might be. Again, having a border isn’t all that important anyway, it’s just that after playing on Bionic Donkeys AAR board (which has a border) I thought it would make the map look neater.
The Washington font is smaller because where it was didnt look correct with the larger font sitting in the ocean. The names of places are essentially in the same places as the map to keep it similar enough to be comfortable.
Fair enough.
I got no fewer than 10 emails saying how much people love SPECIFICALLY the picture in the Sahara. I think it was strange to hear that, but ill take it as a measure to just leave that thing alone.
I think you misunderstood what I meant in regard to the pic. I like the pic too. What I was saying is that the word ‘Sahara’ was placed first, then the pic was placed over the top of it (half of it, anyway). This means that the word ‘Sahara’ doesn’t look clean. You can kind of see it in the pic I posted, but I’ll get another closer pic to show you what I mean. The other thing I mentioned about the pic was that the edges should fade in (even just a few millimetres), but that is of course up to you.
lastly, i am surprised you didn’t mention that i NAMED: Sicily, Sardinia, Ceylon and Corsica, but i refuse to treat my Italian and Indian friends with such disdain. I will never make any map that would not bother to name such important areas. Malta should be on the map as well. It was HUGE to the allies!
Yep, I really like what you did with naming the islands. The reason I didn’t have that on my list is ‘cause my list was of thing I thought should be changed. :wink:
Thanks for scrutinizing the map. I know it took alot of time for you to make it so complete, which is part of the reason why i went back to make changes.
Thank you for making the map, and a big thank you for taking what I wrote into account and making changes you were comfortable with.
Cheers!
