I don't really like the names of the "Continents" of the German side.

Is there are a historical reason that they're named what they're named?

POOL QWESTION"Do you like impasabile borders" yes 70%-no 30%
Its definitly impasabile borders like most of people.
Keyogi i look yours map and i see that your text font and colors not some special, but you ask from me to put more diferent font and colors in map, and for what?
I can bet that most of people can read what write in a map with no problem, and i realy can understand what you want to got with these.

Don't jump down his font, qwert, he had a point. Of the font options you posted the only readable ones were the two at the very top of the map. I think Keyogi meant to maybe give us some more legible fonts to choose from. I personally think the yellow is a bit out of place. I don't know what program you are using but why don't you add a bit of drop shadow? Maybe the yellow names could be either white or grey.

Text should be all the same as Narva, or else Smolensk, but definately go for uniformity whatever you choose.

Ah, I said uniformity, not black one side and yellow the other... what does the smolensk text look like on the german side?

I have told you before about this, but isn't that supposed to be Donetsk and not Donets!?

The font is ok. Maybe make two versions one with white coloured font and the other with black and see what the people think about them.

In English it's Donetsk for sure. Check it out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donetsk

About the font I did not understand what you said but I think the font is okay. Black is legible but I think white would be a bit more legible. That's why I asked if you could post two versions. I don't know if you have done this before, but I don't remember you doing that.

This font and style are far from ideal, but it's readable and the best option you've posted so far. Why do you persist with different size fonts though? Narva is tall and large, Demyansk is small. Why? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! Pick a uniform size for the whole map and stick to it.

When it comes down to it, I still think you should continue to offer more font options.

i think the font choice itself is alright, though some of the smaller words look muddy because of the shadow effect. Field Marshall von Rundstedt and Bialystock, for example, both look blurry to me, and it gives the effect that the graphics are low resolution. Other than that it's a nice looking map.

What you mean far from ideal? all names its same font and color , do you some ideal text for these map?
I look all your AUSTRALIA TOPIC,and you know what i see,from begining you juse same text font and color,and dont put diferent font and colors,and definitly yours text not ideal for map ,but can read.
Do you put diferent text font and colors if somebody ask that of you?

By far from ideal I think he means its an improvement but it could be better, The letters need to be an equal height and width like Keyogi said, and I would like to see a white version for comparison. Its certainly much more legible than before though, keep up the good work.

I like it. Not far from ideal, pretty close to ideal I'd say.

Some parts look a little blurry, but not too much.

Only real problem is that the letters are not all the same height.


All the one colour is definately the way to go. Maybe try a version with all white font to see how that looks?

Look at Demyansk and look at Narva - Narva is noticably streched. If you're looking for an exact example look at the N's on narva and Novgorod. Different sizes.
