I don't like any of the Advertising versions.
The old signature was best.... nothing needed changing, that's why you weren't getting any more feedback.

I was sure Blagoje would have liked and aeronautic wouldn't, but it was worth a try.

However I haven't uploaded any new Advertising version into the system, so we are just sticking with the last one approved.
I called it Previous but actually is the current one:

The only small tweak to apply in my opinion is to reduce slightly the lenght of the dotted line between Sinai and Tabuk. Just like this:

It's a small thing that doesn't change much the whole look, but I feel better with that dotted line being shorter.

Just noticed one thing, the 2 Bonus for the red region could be mistaken for the 6 Bonus region, it needs to lie directly central in the Persian Gulf, to only touch everything equally.
The shorter connection line is better.

Thanks Aero.

So in short, I move the number 2 referring to the red region slightly to the right, and maybe a very tiny bit upward. Right? Just to be sure that I got it the right way.

Yes as neutrally central as possible.

You could make the numbers quite smaller as well.

It is a beautiful and interesting map! I haven't been able to follow its development recently, sorry!
The smaller numbers on the minimap is definitely an improvement :thumbs:

Two suggestions:
Increase the size of the Sinai/Jordan border to make it clearer that the two are adjacent (even if this sacrifices a bit of accuracy, I think it is needed).
Personally I am not too much a fan of the oil symbols. They are acceptable, and if others like them then I am fine with them, but I just don't think they look as sleek and polished as this site usually requires. Just an opinion :)

I love the map, such attention to detail!
It is now Day 8. Please submit your Lynch vote, as well as any Role-specific Day actions you wish to perform (countdown).
Day Actions:
• #LYNCH [player], #NO LYNCH, #ABSTAIN in forum thread.
• Role-specific actions (via PM with V98).

Have to agree with Virt there. The Sinai/Jordan is much to ambigius. Maybe cut a little chunk of south Israel or move Jordan a little more south into Tabuk. Yes may meddle with real world borders as said, but isnt the occasionally historical sacrifice worth it, if it improves gameplay?

Thanks for the feedback. That border is not real, it's already a bit cheated. Drawing a bridge could be a convenient solution ?
Maybe I could have a different idea for the oil symbols. I'll wait September for any tries because I'm really busy this month sorry.

When is this map going to be available to basic members for creating new games?

Another vote for a more obvious border between Sinai and Jordan. I had to search this forum to find an answer before committing to a move. Great map.

The greatest request is for a more intuitive border between Sinai and Jordan.
Like this I think it's okay (click to show)

That light green colour in the South perhaps isn't right.
I'm getting the feeling it needs to be desaturated a lil bit.
