Some of your borders are looking a bit jagged, the Shenyang/Dead territory border in particular. You could probably use a bit more definition in the legend as well. A small shadow or outline to the text will perhaps fix it up. Apart from those little things, the map is shaping up nicely Wisse. :D

i can add anather terretory wich i deleted in the begin of the map

and i don't understand what jagged means so can you explain it :)

and i have problem with the double texture, the emboss won't be deleted...
(non-playable land) so if someone could help me with that it wuld be awsome

Jagged means you have sharp edges that look pixelated or aliased. It would be nice if you could smooth them out a bit.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean about the double texture and emboss. Feel free to PM me with more details if you want me to have a look.

Is there a purpose to the emboss around the edge of the map? It does look a bit odd on the coastal areas.

No extra territory?

Visually, it's looking very nice. The only major thing that sticks out is the borders along the sea. They look a bit strange, perhaps a side-effect of blurring?

Ok, I can see what you've done now that I've had a closer look. I prefered it the way it was before, but see what others have to say about it. :wink:

I don't like being able to go all the way around the world.

why don't you just split up any of the bigger territories in two?

If you are keeping the "going-around-the-world feature" then at least make it a taikonaut launch site or something. just an idea

Chinese call their space shuttles shenzhou (divine vessel) - pretty cool name..

..but I still think it´s better if you find a more logical solution.

(It says they use "extensively modified" Soyuz-capsules but I doubt they are so heavily modified that they can carry several armies. :lol: )
