Totally agree!

Make the map look good with 88 only
Protect borders and text for 888.
I would move the stars back to the way they were from where you got them originally![]()

The barbed wire is covering up the word "Prince" in PEI in the bottom corner.
Erase the top mountain in northern Virginia, the border between Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania isn't completely clear.
Looking good!

I like very much the enlarged stars too. Maybe if you added a drop shadow to give them some relief, it would be beneficial.
Good work, glad to see this map progressing in the right direction.

Amexica is a little fudged by the barbed wire & so are a couple of the caps bonuses.
Industrial Helix wrote:Well I mean push the Bama/georgia border west, push the Jacksonville border west some and fit Georgia in there OR you could just do GA if you want to fit another abbreviation in there. Virginia could fit too if you swap the numbers and the text. Houston is difficult to read where it goes over the border.
You can make the army circle for New Jersey brighter or delete/lighten the border where the numbers cross over it.
I think there is a pink spot leftover from Canada floating in Lake Superior.

Im sure there is discussion about the Capitals, Id go with only 4 capitals being neutral (if any at all, did someone calculate the odds of someone starting with 7 capitals in a 3, 4 or 5+ player game?), makes them a bit more realistic in 3+ player games and team player. It seems everyone tries to manipulate maps in favor of making a 1v1 balanced rather than focusing on the numerous other settings people play. Neutral territories in most 3+ player games generally get avoided like the plague -js-

I'm broadly in agreement with EvilDIMwit about the texture - although I think I'd prefer some texture to none. Perhaps just reduce the opacity of the layer a little more, so that is barely visible. That real subtlety should bring the best of both worlds

I really like the texture behind the title---so if you do reduce the opacity...I'd like to see that area untouched!
