Can you improve the graphics of the bridges because they do not look too good. Also that arrow looks weird as well.

I have problem with the amount of useless space around the map. I know its an awkward size, but you do perhaps need to consider filling it a bit better. The legend could be extended to be longer horizontally so it doesn't loook so isolated, then you could add the impassable borders to the legend as well. As for the title, I'd consider making the title pretty huge. I was thinking maybe a sort of waving chinese flag under the entire northern area (a little like Qwert's country flags in the Eastern Front map) and a big CHINA title over it? Would help use up that dead space.

the title does need to be bigger the wall needs to look less shiny (for want of a better description) and is the shadow on the flag necessary it seems out of place

Wasn;t the Great Wall used to prevent the Mongolians attacking southward? If so, I don't think you should be able to attack Gansu from Hei Mongol...

Hi
I am a Chinese . I have been seeking for a China map

Em..I do not understand Hebei + Guangdong + Jiangsu earn two bonus...

I understand the meaning of the graph( black and white in color)
but I think that's strange.

All other things are good(especially the bridges)
I am looking forward to see the release of this map~

here are the maps with the xml (i know shangdon is a bit to high i will lower that one, and i know the army circles in the tiny version are to tiny)
if you put other corrections to it than those 2 it would be great and i can update it
thanks for Coleman to do the cordinates :)

As long as you're using phonetics, it should be Nei Menggu, not Nei Mongol.
