    Well, either post the locations and names here, and I try to work them in when I find the time.

    Alternatively, you could do it yourself.
    I don't know what software you are using, so I'll give you some pointers:
    The color for the city labels is Hex #7B0102.
    The font I used is called "Kuenst 480 BT Roman".
    I applied a 1 pixel wide outer stroke in Hex #D5C49E.
    I also applied a 14 pixel size outer glow in Hex #BD9C60 with a half-round contour.
    Here is a transparent version of the marker I used:

    Well I did want to do something this simple myself. However, I didn't know I needed software to just add cities, lol. Best I have is Photoshop 7.

    Alright, I'll hope I can do it in Photoshop then with the info you provided. Thanks.

    I got the image the proper size, the font downloaded and into Photoshop (since I didn't have it), but I'm having a bit of trouble past that, lol. Not very up to date with what you can do (or how to do it) in Photoshop.

    *EDIT*

    Well after using Google (which I did to figure out how to get the new font, don't know why I didn't use it to look up adding strokes), I figured it out. It doesn't look quite the same as the other cities, but, since users will need to know the difference between the two major cities I had you put in and the cities within a region, that worked out rather nicely. Thanks.

    Dollhouse Syndrome = The temptation to turn a map into a picture, obscuring the goal of the image with the appeal of cute, or simply available, parts. Maps have clarity through simplification.

    Thanks. And 'Thanks.' is too short of a message...
