I was thinking about this map last night and thought that perhaps the title seems somewhat restrictive.

Maybe if it was called "San Diego Tycoon" or something similar, it might have more of a competitive appeal ?

Yeah, that sounds cool.

Te freeways are the barriers in this virtual map. So think of the places where it's impossible to get across (infamous California freeways) and the places where there is no freeway is an underpass or a way across for your real estate project to expand.

it's odd that the freeways end and then pick up again... are you ultimately planning to shoot the freeways all the way through but create some kind of overpass or other crossing?

Troy-
I like this map and would definitely play it...
My suggestions right now are:
The east county areas be changed to something other than blue... The blue seems to give it an ocean look.
The areas you have labelled as North County aren't really what native San Diegans consider North County ...

Is everyone from San Diego OK? My friends had to evacuate, but were allowed to move back to their houses now.

Yeah, the hosting website was slow. Appears to be up to speed now.

i just don't think the map does texas justice... where are the resources and the deserts? imagine seizing oil fields in houston, off the coast, etc... how about cattle? how about ag fields? texas is a huge and varied state with amazing climate changes and resources and natural boundaries. why not ...

One map did not load for me, I reloaded the page and it came up. So try reloading. My picture hosting website may be slow.

Thanks Cairns for the bunch of good advice.

Troy... being a native San Diegan, I really liked the map and thought it was a great idea.

I think you should perhaps not completely abandon this project.

Cairnwk has been a great help to me with ideas and tremendous insight into graphics.
I'm sure, since the offer was made, that he'll be of ...

DiM wrote:abandoning is not the solution. as i previously said, the map has a good idea behind it.

maybe try and change something to make it more appealing

I thought that's what we were in the process of doing.

It was interesting, but I got other things to do.

I see myself agreeing with Dim's good points here. Some times, as unfortunate as it may be, maps fall to the wayside of the Foundry Furnace. But perhaps you can revamp the idea a little, and make it all the more appealing. I wish you luck!

Ouch! OK, I got the Foundry Foreman saying I ...

oops, will fix. What do you think about more transparent with a white outline.... I'll play around with it and put up some samples.

that was actually a hint

The poll was for 14 days. Do you want me to put up another with no limit?

Troy, the title is much better now that it doesn't stick ones eyes.

Can you determine how many fonts you are using on the map. 1, 2 or more.

Also if this is the small map, you can extend it's height to a max of 600 px to use the extra space for the legend. Think about trying it, if you like, it ...

Also, is your poll finsihed yet?

YES. I'll work on above input in next few days.

Troy...you've done well so far...but i am still not liking the title nor the legend. IMHO. The yellow is very jaring on the eyes against that blue background.
I don't want to be overly critical, as i understand this is possibly your first map, but i wonder if you cannot push those creative ...

if this map has a frontier type feel to it, the airports are out of place.

good point - what's the date of the theme? Maybe use a form of transportation more familiar to Texans... big-ass trucks! (joking)
Could you use train stations or truck stops? But then again Texas is also modern - SW ...

OK, I changed it to "M.C.A.S. Miramar" on my copy. Will be updated on next map version.

The barbwire is brilliant! I like it better than the other border objects. But can you make it stand out more? the barbwire's color is so neutral and blends in with some background colors. Maybe black with white border or some other stonger color?

And why isn't the cowboy wearing spurs?

And how ...

-fixed "ray" to "rey"
-cleaned up some graphics and fonts
-saved with higher quality.

Let me know what ya think.

I don't see this on the map. Can you tell me the web site you're looking at, please.

You called the territory rancho del ray, which is an error.

Oooo, OK. I was looking at the capital E on that. This is fixed now.

GREAT INPUT!

I dont really like the building in the ocean.

Also, clarify dollars. There are a few idiots on this site.

Ok, I minimized the tab on the ocean legend and moved part of legend to the corner. How's that look?

Also added subtitle to clarify the $. It's about using your "money" to ...
