1. All ships in the west have the same name - W1 - is this intentional?
(FIXED)
2. the black text on brown legend is hard to read - are you able to place some lighter layer behind it and offset it all, or
change the colour of the font, or place an outer glow around the text foir more visibility.
(Changed to white)
3. because of the black place names on dark blue sea it is difficult to read some names which cross from sea onto land or vice versa.
this can be fixed with an outer glow around text, or by extending the light blue coastline out to under those names and make this relatively even all around.
(Adjusted words so not in water or added light blue behind them)
4. you seem to have victory conditions in three places
a. the one under the title
b. control London and 4 churches for 1 turn you win.
c. beside the title
- if the same, they should be in one place so as to not confuse players; this will also reduce the real estate these are taking up and perhaps allow more "eye space" in the legend to read it more comfortably - think about the overall design of you legend.
(I removed the duplicate instructions about victory condition)
5. Looking at the southern region around London, there is a big advantage to anyone gaining the churches in the south, if the northern regions don't have easy access to London.
if someone gains Carlisle, Durham, York and Chester, and gets wiped out in the south they have a battle that might take some time to win while their opponent continues to fortify towards the churches and London in the south - i don't know if i am not understand this properly, but the southern advantage seems great. I know there are sea routes in the east.
If i am correct, would you consider some "rider" paths from the north to London that provide that quick access.
(Actually even the north area can all most attack London directly by using the ships in the water. London is a port, and because of this all areas pretty much have quick access to it.)
5. Caernaron? - Caernarvon or Caernarfon - not sure what you want to use, but i think a small typo perhaps.
Covertry? - Coventry perhaps
Devor - Dover perhaps?
(Fixed Spelling)
6. also do you have font kerning in your software to spread the text letters evenly so that example Conventry does not appear as 3 sets of letter in one word.
Some fonts do this and need adjusting.
Newcastle looks perfect.
(Think this issue was fixed when I fixed the spelling - do you still see an issue?)
7. for later on, when graphics stage arises, think about some different kinds of trees - simply for variety - the amount you have now seem fine but they are all the same.
(I'll look into this, but I'm using pine trees and most pine forests really only have pine trees in them.)
8. the minimap colours could do with some love or perhaps different treatment - not sure what is going on there with the whiter sections at the bottom of each region
(I changed the colors of the minimap and map them solid no more white bottoms)
9. is Stokestay castle part of the welsh region (brown) or mid region (purple) - from the legend it seems it should be part of wales. Seems unfair there is no road from Stokestay to Denbigh.
(Purple, Yellow and Brown sections have 10 areas each - but as you see the Brown section gives more of a Bonus, this is because it is seperated this way and is harder to control. So I balanced out this issue by making the Brown areas worth more.)
Any more comments, or suggestions?
but some further suggestions
