Looks Excellent. I also love the Sultan & Caliph area, that feels incredibly clean now.

This is how it looks with the upper side in the same font and without the '+2' and "+1" in the text (no double legend) which was your last remark:

4.26:



also shifted the "crater" at Syria 2 (and the border) a bit to the left to match the xml position better.

Thx for the good feedback!

[Swimmerdude99]

I think this looks excellent!

One more quality of life improvement - I think Outremer territs should be darker/black text. The grey is very hard to read.

Like this (4.27)?:

[Swimmerdude99]

Much better, imo.

Had two more ideas - even on the large graphics its hard to read the noble names. So I'm trying to think of a way to make that more clear.

The numbers on the nobles have no significance, but the circle outlining them represents a connection to the ships they can hit. - outlined circles on the ships in the west, and outlined circles on the nobles. Same for the east side - solid circles around the numbers.

However, the numbers have no significance on the nobles (the numbers have significance on the ships, because they don't have some other name). Noble "De Troyes" isn't "number 1 noble" and can't only hit the West Ship 1.

The text that defines the noble as "De Troyes", etc. Is hard to read. Is there anther way to connect the ships and nobles - visually - instead of the circles and numbers?
Secondly, could this help make room for the noble names? Should the noble names be overlayed over their coat of arms in a banner instead of above them? The coat of arms also have no relation to gameplay or map features.

This would be Templars 4.28:



Changes made to legend font in right bottom corner for better visability, names of the nobles larger and a "halo ring" in blue-ish (east) and red-ish (west) with matching ring around the nobles and a golden one for the flagship.
Visual its hinting that the ships connect to the nobles this way which was your suggestion i believe
Matching icon in the left upper legend next to the word flagship

and small:



in the bottom right legend the ship icons (of the ships at the crossing point "5 1") are put in too

[plurple]

why are the east side noble names larger but west still small?

[SoN!c]

Max font...because larger names but i can do it same size for 4 of the 6:

4.29

[Swimmerdude99]

I like the rings you did around nobles and ship spots. I think you could remove the numbers 1-6 on the nobles entirely now.

[TrafalgarLaw01]

Agree, the numbers on nobles are not needed.

I'm trying the map right now. So far I'm enjoying it, it seems there are just 2 palces to start and the Cyrpus Churh almost never if at all come into play, but so far fun map
