I know it's sort of a big expansion, but this is once again for resources. I put the resource map over the political map and used that to decide where to expand to. If it's too soon after having our colony denied, then let me know. Thanks.

good luck, again, Passas... :lol:

ps. Is it me, or does the country border look like it's a shadow, and that Passas is sticking up out from the rest of the continent?

if you're using Paint, just copy and past existing letters, don't type them afresh... that's when they go blurry for me...

I think that it's the photoshop that's just making the text blurry when I save. I tried doing it in paint, but that ended up making it look all messed up.
