Or: everything is the same color... and we're all winners! That would make me feel good.

Change it back to the original please.

Forgot that option....

It doesn't need anything done to it.

The problem is green/gray and orange/yellow- is there a reason those colors aren't included in the sample?

Hey, I just voted and it keeps coming up "submit vote." Are you sure these results aren't being skewed :?:

That's a good point: why is there not the option to keep the map the way it was?

The difference is minor so to me it's not that important. What ever ...

thanks very much guys!

30% black looks good to me; it does not distract the eye and makes the armies a little more clear .

I think Black at 40% is the way to go here. I dont like the white dots it ruins the map somewhat.

I like no shadows, it seems a bit better for the color scheme.

The new shadows are terrible. Love this game but hate that change.

I voted for white 30% because it looks the best, in my opinion. However, in the interest of fairness, there should be a runoff of the top two choices when this poll closes. Otherwise, we could have white 30% (which is winning as of this post) win, when in fact a black one would win if its votes weren't split among all the blacks. Yes, i know, the whites are split as well, but who knows?

although white 60 didn't bother me like it did others ... i could go with white 30...its still readable and more clear than any of the black options to my eyes ;)

The results thus far are disappointing for me. I can live with 30% white, but won't like it. I would love 60% black, but apparently I'm in the minority.

Let's change it back to normal.
Colour codes are for people who can't see well, besides, why are people who can't see colour, playing a game of colour?? And complaining about it??

There's probably about 10 people who actually want the map changed. Why is there no Change it back vote? Because it would win?


*Sigh*

Is there a way to show a white army on a white circle? Also, a slate army on a black circle? Those might be the best indicators since people have been complaining about not seeing an army on a territory due to the circles.

The problem is the Deep Tonings of the Sea Colour.Tone it down a bit and it will make the rest of the map more easy on the eyes

why not not use any shadows, and just replace blue with another color?

looks like white 30% is winning although i find it is pretty bright for army cirlces. white 40% is about right for me.

Apparently it's a lot more than 10, because the old Classic was black 60%
