September 2015 Challenge: The Durnstel Estimates

[Abu Lafia]

The silo icon looks good (if imagined with solid lines^^). Since the area where it is located doesn't allow a bigger icon, i think it's a good choice to have the symbol on it instead of the "front-view" buildings on the other icons. For the colors it's ofc more a question of personal taste, but i think the addition of the orange will help. I'm curious how the expanded map will look like.
Btw., will you stick with the font for the title? I just thought that maybe a somewhat "old-school" calculator-like or pixelly font might look fun on this map?

Hey again.

I scanned for some good fonts this afternoon and this is what I came up with:

The Durnstel Estimates (6).png

It's not a whole lot different, but it's more stylized than Arial and it's easy to read even when it's small. Speaking of small text, I increased the font size of the legend stuff from 6 to 7. I would like to increase it further but that sort of limits how much I can write.

I ended up changing the icon for the silo because I couldn't find any way to make the old one work without making it humungous. I think I actually like the new one better, though. I also added a grid system, which I will use later when I put in points of interest symbols (diamonds, I think). Also finished placing the second and third silos.

So, this update is mainly just a bunch of small stuff. Next one will have something interesting, I promise.

You were right about the subtle allusions in the legend... kudos for noticing that right off the bat. The icons are obviously those of real cities (Paris is the most obvious, leftmost purple), and I think the allusions began because I was looking at each icon as I wrote some stuff. Anyway, purple now represents the U.S. in World War II, and Green represents Japan. Fun.
