Otherwise, this is looking really nice. Good work Ed and Gimil
I am thinking of a way to fix this issue zeak. Unfortuantly opacity isn't the way to go. I gave it a try and it makes the map look lop sided and it appears t be to pale to work which the rest of the maps colour scheme.

Gimil, I'm almost happy with it, and i can see you've reduced the opacity, but. Can you reduce the right map another 10% to bring it to 20% opacity, and then reduce the left map by 10%, please. If i had the file i'd test it myself to see what it looked like, and i'd like to hear from some others of this is a good solution.

reducing each map by 10%, I felt, was to much when I looked at it. I went for 5% as a compromise, if this is alright cairns let me know so that I can get the small here for the stamp.

the balance is off, yes, but does it really have to be balanced? afterall, the mini-map shows the bonuses and is done that way to represent the regional colours, and the right map is simply a map as background to the legend text.

lose the bland, colourless directional names like western europe and eastern usa and give some character to each region by using city names like london and new york instead. an additional advantage of doing this is that u don't offend people unnecessarily by lumping in their country with their traditional enemy (for example vietnam is part of the china region).

mmmmmm. no.
How is doing Beijing over Hanoi better than doing China over Vietnam? You can't use that as an argument in one sense but ignore it in the other.
The names are mostly ok. FYI, I won't do an "update" until I post the XML itself. Though we've only got one potential name change atm.

I agree with this. If we want to avoid political and territorial issues we should go with started geographic terms. Rather than china/vitenam we can go with south-east asia (or south east eurasia to go with the map theme a little).
but i'd still like to hear from others is this is OK.
