The Philippines

I still see the background a bit whiter than the rest (which tend to be redder) and it bugs me because I know it. Otherwise I wouldn't even notice!

[spoiler=for reference][img]http://oi61.tinypic.com/4lh7a0.jpg[/img][/spoiler] It is always going to look that way, it's the background image just at that point, it has a light spot. You won't resolve this with adjusting the text or text effect, you will have to do something about that background right where the text is. If you were using Photoshop, I'd suggest using a rubber stamp to copy some darker pixels nearby. If there is no quick tool for this in PDN, you might have to paint some in. Don't do anything like screens or overlays, they will stand out. Alternatively: If the text effect you are using is an outline effect, you can add a slight (dark outer glow) effect as well, which should darken that area a little.

opps wrong thread LMAO@my dumba$$ ...But since im here an looked at what map thread this is lol...must say this is a nice looking map :)

lasooed and copied a few darker pixels from other parts of the background and put the original outline back on quezon. [spoiler=quezon][img]http://oi59.tinypic.com/2zoceft.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

I wanna see games being played on this map. Are we done nitpicking yet?

If others find things that have to be changed graphically, they can be done whilst in Beta. The capital suggestions on [url=http://www.dominating12.com/forum/?cmd=topic&act=view&id=2161&page=1#post-33548]page 1[/url] don't seem the best they can be, at first glance. Can Psymon or Bishop please have a go at placing these and make a short list?

Okay, here my capital proposal. [spoiler=2 to 4 Cap's][img]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q700/Photo_Bishop/PhilyCaps234_zps5c6yyx75.png[/img][/spoiler] [spoiler=5 to 7 Cap's][img]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q700/Photo_Bishop/PhilyCaps567_zpsgiqntrag.png[/img][/spoiler] [spoiler=8 Cap's][img]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q700/Photo_Bishop/PhilyCaps8_zpscyedjcgb.png[/img][/spoiler] I'm unsure about 9 caps, I guess something like this may work: [spoiler=9 Cap's][img]http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q700/Photo_Bishop/PhilyCaps9_zps4ont7zey.png[/img][/spoiler] Aurora 9 Basilan 9 Catanduanes 345678 Compostela V. 9 Cordillera 5678 Davao Orien. 78 Iloilo 2345678 Lanao 6789 Leyte 2345678 Manila 45678 Mindoro 9 Negros Occi. 9 Sorsogon 9 Sulu 8 Surigao d.S. 9 Tawi-Tawi 9

Some of these could be better. Especially 2p, these are too close together and each have only 2 exit routes. I will analyse what you have and suggest changes where applicable. [spoiler=2p-4p alternative][img]http://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/Caps2-4.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

It appears that most of the map only offers 2 exit routes, but I have made some alternative 2-4p caps. The rest look okay to me. Aurora 9 Aguson Del Sur 2 Basilan 9 Catanduanes 5678 Compostela V. 9 Cordillera 5678 Davao Orien. 78 Iloilo 5678 Lanao 6789 Leyte 345678 Manila 2345678 Mindoro 9 Negros Occi. 9 Sarangani 4 Sorsogon 9 Sulu 348 Surigao d.S. 9 Tawi-Tawi 9

This. Map. Looks. Awesome. I can never see Hoodlum's images (his image website doesn't work for me), but I can finally see the map for the first time in The_Bishop's post. Incredible work again Hoodlum! :)

I have input the map, can we please have a Cartographer to double check it, before I set it to Beta?

Vexer has checked for 1 way connections and there are none. Can we please have a Cartographer to double check spelling, bonuses & capitals, before I set it to Beta?

I don't think there's a dash in Bukid-non, I think it's one word. Bukidnon: http://www.bukidnon.gov.ph/home/index.php Bangsamoro Islands should be Sulu Archipelago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulu_Archipelago Aguson should be Agusan del Sur: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agusan_del_Sur Bikol region should be Bicol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicol_Region The region names for E. Visayas and W. Visayas are lengthened to East and West in the cartographer panel. But the proper names are Eastern and Western, so I'd recommend either changing them to match the map or giving them their proper names. But other than the Visayas, they all match up with the names on the map. Unfortunately, some of the names on the map might be a bit off. I'm working solely in English, and idk if some of the filipino pronunciation and spelling is different. Bonuses are all correct. IDK how to check caps. I didn't mess with it, but I think that the circle for Aguson del sur could be moved to the right and down a bit to center it more? And just noticing it now, the label for Cotabato moved to the right and down as well to give more room for the troop circle. Or move the troop circle back to it's originally proposed location in the north.

One extra thing, Surigao del Sur also engulfs Surigao del Norte, thus the territory should be just named Surigao. Shouldn't we try to check the older names of the regions in ~1900?

Before I attempt name changes, and perhaps to re-consider changes needed. There are some 120 to 175 languages in the Philippines, My scource has been this interactive map on wiki http://www.photoclass.kr/enwiki/index.php?title=Regions_of_the_Philippines *clicking on the map will give you information about that region To be consistent, I used the same scource for the spelling directly from this interactive map. Changing suggested names could be changing it in a different dialect to what the rest of the map names are.
