Thanks for sharing this - I'll give it a try. At my age anything that makes stuff clearer is good! :D

Very old thread, but I made color adjustments to make the map fit better with Silicon / Oblivion HUD. I also have created the missing economy and territory versions of this map:

To use, simply safe these pictures and place them into your HUD folder.

Yeah, MrDionne has made a very good map here, unfortunately he was last active last year in September, so I thought I make the two missing versions on my own ...

Looking good, working good. :) Like the sector/section outline of the political areas, rather than a color pane for each. :cool::cool:

No, unfortunately not. I simply copied the original .png from MrDionne and changed colors in Photoshop (without saving as .psd) and added borders in Paint.

For the economy stuff, I guess you could simply copy the empty area from the normal map in the economy map, and then use the Evochron map for overwriting the texts ("Economy", "low", "medium", "high").

Or you tell me which words you need to change and how, and I can do it asap for you.
