Ian I appreciate all the work you have put in to help me get this far, but this time im putting my foot down adn saying no to your changes for england.
It has been changed so many times and with your suggestion which requires another set of unpassables jsut isnt going to happen sorry.
The unpassables:
I reworked the river, reworked some of te mountains. I decided against teh forest idea becasue it was doable in a way to fit the style of the map.
I will rework the border to elimenate the 4 way border around hadrians, but the wall itself has been tweeked a little but there not much I can do with 5 pixels.

I agree with gimil. This map should have been done weeks ago. It looks great and not everyone can be pleased with each graphical aspect. Since gimil is not ignoring advice but choosing to pick his own artistic design while trying to accomidate as many as plssible I think we need to let this discussion rest.

I don't like the new way you did the river. Why would a border jump across water like that?

Probably a while - obviously more people need to be made aware that this map is gonna be revamped judging by the current Classic crisis.

I already mentioned this... THe wall in the over map is much nicer! Please at least make a decent looking wall or put the old one one. At the moment it looks shit!

Great changes withe the flag backdrop. With the Lands End region, you could consider using the Cornish flag perhaps?

How about adding a tag to the current map in play to let people know that it is about to be revamped:
