I think one way attack and the arrows explains it. Attacks/Forts Only Via Arrows found a little, confusing to me.

I think your borders are too bright compared to the rest of the map. As I've said, this feels washed out. I don't personally like the dullness of it, but you're in the forge, so be it. The colored borders though, are a bit bright. Have you tried black (or gray)?

COuld you also maybe tone down the borders/background where the territ text is over top of it? - Like mainly up in Hebrides is the only problem area i see.

You know what would be cool - is if you would add some relief to the map, like a bump map. See the mini-map up in the left - how there is some darker terrain areas? That would be cool on the large map as well. I can kind of see a little swirly pattern on the land areas, but not really.

Yes - the bold bright borders need something done. Now my eyes are drawn to them.

I notice that territory names have been revised in this update so how about continents too ?

"South West England" would be adequate.
"The West Country" or "The South West" would be in keeping with typical UK nomenclature ...

If it isn't too late I think this is worth at least commenting on ...

And I agree with this part of what RJBeals is talking about too.

I think I suggested using the West Country as the area name way back at the beginning of this thread somewhere... Come on gimil - you know it makes sense

So there's 54 pages that I don't want to search through to see if this was resolved already, but Hebrides attacks South Highlands in the original map, not North Highlands.

Can the ocean and sea labels not be curved?

the isle of wight is still too far away.

hadrian's wall now has its apostrophe, but wants a capital W!

I think its sexy. I want to play it! It may well be a replacement for classic IMHO.

The Isle of Wight needs a little distance so that a clear connection to the mainland is needed.

NOTE: Rember to fix RJ's border concerns.

nice map. the text in the bottom left corner might look a little better if it wasn't so spaced out. but if you like it like that, that's fine too!

saaimen · Post by **saaimen** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 1:27 pm

I'm very sure this has been said before in this thread, but I can't find where. After all, there's 55 pages...
Isn't Hebrides supposed to be connected to Southern Highlands?

gimil · Post by **gimil** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 4:49 am

OK i pretty much took every suggestion made from the last update and tweeked the map.

Yay!

Now let's get that nice red star stamp

MrBenn · Post by **MrBenn** » Sat Oct 25, 2008 4:45 pm

This looks better and better all the time

The only thing I think you missed was the overly-spaced-out text on the Key... There isn't any real reason the abbreviations need to be so far apart.

Other than that, I think this is finally there

Thanks benn! When I get home from my friends tonight I will do that change and post an updated XML with the new continent name!

Post by **iancanton** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 7:45 am

on the large map, it looks as if cumberland can attack lothian & borders. the cumberland-northumberland border needs to be redrawn so that it runs into the middle tower of hadrian's wall.

Very nice.

The cumberland-northumberland boarder overlaps hadrians wall a tiny bit on the small map but apart for that I think you ought to be done
