    Hey Abu Lafia, thanks for your suggestions!

    I agree with your comment about finding a suitable icon for the silo itself. I'm a stickler for continuity, so it's important that the icons all match. I put in a test icon (see the attachment below) and am curious as to how you and others think it looks. It's pretty small, so it might suffer from some pixel loss; the lines are supposed to be solid.

    Not entirely sure how to approach the color issue, though I agree it's rather bland at the moment. I will be introducing a new neutral-standing nation (orange) so that may help. I'll give this some more thought.

    Yes, the area-of-affect circles are supposed to be off-center.

    Other changes this go round include expanding the size of the project, expanding the legend, fixing some typos, and putting in the range for a second silo.

    Critiques welcome.

    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.
