But, all in all, this has to be one of the best CC-generated maps I've seen in a long while! Nice work!!
Thanx alot. The saturation issue is something I´ve discussed alot with fellow mappers and it is not the first time I hear it. Personally I love the bright, strong colors in a map, but I heard many who think it is too "comic-like". About the cookie-cutter symbol repitition, it is actually one of the few times I used it. I was even thinking of having red dots instead of the symbols as I want the structure symbols to be easy to see. Instead I decided to repeat many of the same symbols in various sizes, to highlight them. Might not have succeeded that well.
