first off thanks for all the kind words and support chaps makes every thing worthwhile
next I finished cleaning up panel 00 and show a couple of samples of the Sutle Map the aim which is to create an old washed out map from 60 years ago - and you can see the effect is comming in to play - washed out greens now where near as strong as the original digital map
so you will have a choice of which style you like best

I think the effect you have achieved here is stunning, but loking at India do the rivers have to be as broad? It looks like a land mass that is very fragmented, just an aesthetic angle really.

I think that brought about by the aging process that the map went through and I am still in the process of cleaning up - rivers that too wide will be thinned out

Base and unit icons are seperate art there are several; versions out including stock
they are call mapicons sets user created packs are found at Rouges and Spookies

the set you can see in the sample are ones created for RHS but they can also be used
for any scenario

By the way what accually dont you like I always open to suggestions

I like much of your art, but those icons are not my favorite either. Specifically I don't like the white outline they have. Only a suggetions, as you say there are enough other icon art files out there that we should all have no trouble finding what we like. [:)]

It would be interesting to see how this map would come up on a large plasma I think it was Grotius (spelling from memory)who was interested in that

It looks stunning on my 30-inch widescreen monitor! Can't wait to try it. Now if you could convince Mssrs Bowen and Wilkinson to make the game playable in a widescreen resolution, I'd be in heaven!

The map is incredible, I spent more time looking the map over instead of playing a turn.

I take it the download worked and how long did the download take
it takes 1.5 hours (broadband) to upload

Cobra Aus
