Well, I created the game with 7 players max, so there is a spot for anyone to take, you included :)

So I think I've pinpointed two problems. Well, maybe an interplay of two elements that forms one problem. The bright red borders and the bright, lightly backgrounded letters. I took the liberty of fiddling with the image (nothing major), and at least my eyes feel less strained.

Here's a preview on Imgur. If it works for you, I can upload it on Mediafire or something. The .tga is a bit too large for Imgur, I'm afraid. :P

PS. There's a little red left. Bleh!

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

hum nice. I think it may need a bit more brightness, as most dom4 units benefit from having a background a bit brighter : example in peliwyr :

And yeah, the red borders.... They were here because it help the map editor putting the provinces borders and neighbours correctly. I should turn them to something half transparent, I think...

Creamy, grayish, whiteish semi-transparent borders is good, yes. I assume you can just edit the border layer? I lowered brightness by 40 units in Paint.net, so perhaps slightly higher brightness than that would be good? I also found that a Glow (from Effects -> Photo) at -100 brightness, radius 10 and contrast 14 looks good.

I assume we're using the same program, since the original upload was a .pdn :p

applying your filter and changing the borders to a transparent light grey gives me this :

My eyes aren't hurting yet. :P Could be different in-game.

It's still bright, but less hurtful, I guess...
But diminishing brightness more means you get a really dark image, and then it's not really nice to watch it for dozens of minutes either...

That is much, much better. Thank you very much.

Eh... It's better but not as good as lijacote's version.

Eh, I'm still thinking and fiddling with stuff. I definitely don't have a finalized pretender at all.

I updated the zip on my dropbox : https://www.dropbox.com/s/14ru3vvddso36vq/Uthar_Mabdug.zip
It includes the adjusted TGA, for less eye-hurting games :)
