the "barbed wire" fences still arent as great as i think they can (and should) be. Is it going to be changed to something more:
A. visible.
B. metallic-looking.

?

or are there more votes for leaving it?

the barbed wire has already been mentioned by a few people and from what i understand he'll work on it as well as other things. have patience until the next update.

Map's looking great!

A couple suggestions...

There's really no time-era on this anywhere, but one can assume that, with the tee-pee's, that this would be perhaps late 1800's (?) and during that time Oklahoma was considered Indian Teritory.
Might it be an idea to place a couple of the tee-pee's in OK?

Also, maybe spelling out Dallas-Fort Worth rather than DFW?

I have made more space for Mexican Troops. I would like an idea what to use for armies. Should it be land or something like canons?

Try naming them after indian tribes.
I would suggest using:
Navajo, Apache, Tonkawa, Wichita, and Cherokee

I agree with this completely, it's hard to read.

I have some suggestions, but would first like to know what you're designing this in. The blending of textures in the dead territory make it look like photoshop, but I just want to make sure.
