just quickly ... well done on the update qwert, looking real scmick! as some weirdos say from time to time
- i aggree with yeti c that vL etc is more appropriate and common (at least in english, i.e. they would be spelt in full as von Leeb, von Rundstead etc., not Von Leeb, Von Rundstead etc.) ... and i think it looks better too (this could possibly be represented in the legend too)
Also, it helps to differentiate the lettering of these sections from those on either side of it, just a bit, but a handy bit considering the necessary complexity of the map, visually.
- i don't think you need to redraw the borders, grossly unfair, they are fine.
- you've got too much free space on this map, maybe take 50px from each side, scale it all down, and squeeze it in some how, hehe, just joking for the record. (but seriously - i think some stuff in russia would help make it look not so much like empty space, which it is, and also, the flag/star/red patch mostly just stands out so much, seems so prominent, in contrast to all the other flags and graphics it is too overpowering and attracts lots of attention away from the rest of the map when looked at as a whole). this is not essential of course
- i don't think i like the flames on the title (not sure how long they've been there) but they look a little tacky and out of place (i don't know if you guys had the little toy cars when you were kids too - which i can't remember the name for them now, hotrods or something - but the flames remind me of them)
good work, keep it up.
Well for now i get only one reason why must be small v instead large V,and these is pure language reason(von Leeb is writen with small v), i realy dont think that someon can mistake with large V,but if you want to be small then ok, i dont mine,i only have concerne that some other people will say that visualy and readabile is best large V.
Flames is from begining(look date of begining + one month) and so far nobody have any complaining abouth that.

Excellent work Qwert. I'm a big fan of your maps, and i really can't wait to play on this one.
Just to give my thoughts:
I also like the small v, for the same reasons as above... but I don't think its critical to the map, so I'd be willing to live without that.
As far as the borders go, I think that re-doing all of them is cruel and unnecessary. However, I do think that the borders in Poland, the Balkans, and maybe Central Europe could be cleaned up a little bit. They look too jagged/pixelated to me. All the others seem fine I think. And I think if you clean those few up a bit, make them neater, then hopefully others would see that the rest aren't bad, and the map as a whole would look better. Just my thoughts.
Also, I agree that the country names might look nicer if the white outline was a little thinner, but if you say you've tried and it didn't work, then I'll take your word for it.
Keep up the great work!
So you think that Gimil exagerated when ask for redraw all borders? I will very careful examine all map and decide if borders on poland,balkan and central europe need to be work.
Map have darken colours,and when you decrease outline names become not readabile,and i put what is best,and thanks for you belive in that.
