Now the islands:

If you want everything with the native name, then it's Açores and not Azores.

And there is no north or south in Açores, only east, center and west.
Someone said this, and i have said it before... if it doesn´t give much trublle why not changed it ? Put it : "Açores Ocidental, Açores Centro, Açores Oriental, "

I am Portuguese, the rivers are not realistic but that would give a lot of trouble to change.. when will it be able to play?

I know id miss something. Where would acores ocidental and oriental go?

Im wondering if there is something more appropriate instead of Porto for that territory? Maybe nicas or _sioux_ could help with that?
I completely understand why you dont want to start the map again, but I think you should try to get the map as accurate as possible, at least without making major changes like moving rivers. Alot of people complain about mistakes in maps, you may as well try and solve as much as you can now rather than later.

Just a thought anyway.

Looking good Gimil. Mind posting images with the XML on them, just to make sure nothing has changed? Also mind providing TEXT links to the XML, and small and large map?

I'm not sure if it's an effect applied to the continents or their borders, but some of the territory lines don't seem to go all the way to the continent border. Also, the Alentejo/Centro "T" shaped border doesn't seem to join up properly.

The Serpa/Alentejo Sul border could perhaps use some work on the small map, it's barely noticeable. Maybe a slight bump up in the colour differention between border and territory in all of Alentejo probably wouldn't hurt.

Nice work though gimil, you're nearly there.

There you go andy everything you wanted

Sory for the late reply, i habe ben away-

Can´t take the Porto Name. Because its the 2ª biggest city in the country, almost similar importance to the Capital Lisboa. If "Ovar" goes to the Porto place, then Porto has to take "Braga" place, and "braga" takes the place of "viana"!

It´s like this, "Braga" is a big city and capital of distric, "Viana do Castelo" is just a small city (like Ovar) and Porto is a must city.

i don´t live there, but it his well knoned in other countrys, because of Oporto Wine, The Porto Club that wined UEFFA Chapions LEAGUE, its the place that has more Students in Uneversity form other countrys.... and the country only has two airports, one in Lisboa - The Capital and another in Porto.

By the way, that is a great way to correct the North River and the citys around them, "Ovar" is the wright responce, but Porto must stay, so as Braga (with is in the Top5 Citys of the country)

Im apology for note responding faster to this situation...

in Açores: it´s perfect the Ocidental/oriental

Wisse...i think the font is refreshing...i've not seen this used before in my short time in the forum. And I think it fits the style of the map gimil has created.

Care to elaborate on why it doesn't look right for you?

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Fri Aug 31, 2007 4:31 am

And i will agree with cairns the terr names have already been discissed. I personally dont see whats wrong with them. Perhaps if you elaborate can ahve a better idea of where you stand

it looks a bit pixely, but if you all don't think so then don't mind it

The white blur behind the text does add a little fuzziness/pixeliness to the names. I'm not sure how you can get around that...perhaps a slight blur over the name, without blurring the name to the point it can't be read?

that doesn't work. Because i used a layer style called stroke. When i add the littlest blur (which i tried earlier) The stroke take a fit and starts going crazy lol

Hm, I see a definite improvement. I'm not sure it's possible to go any further, without ruining the legibility of the text.
