Gameplay:

1) Which territories are going to be neutral? Just wondering, as that would make commenting on gameplay easier I posted the map with the starting neutrals ubove ^^^^
2) I think that the territories on Grendelia are to low. Maybe increase them a bit? Territories that are connected to other ships/boats maybe have as neutral 3 or 4? then have the territories getting closer to the X higher and higher? (like the horn as 4, outskirts as 5, dad man's eck as 6, and the x as 10? I would do this, but the problem is that that way you would have to go through over 20 troops to get to X
3) The current positioning of attack lines may make it easier for some people to get to dead man's neck (and thus the X), while making it harder for others. You may want to make sure everybody gets an equal chance. There are 4 territories between eacha attack line to Grendelia and the X
4) What is the purpose of Treasure Cove? You can't get to New Cove from it, and its basically just a dead territory that has no purpose. Maybe try and figure out something that make people want to take it? Maybe something like +2 autodeploy on Treasure Cove? Maybe something similar for south grendelia, new cove, grand peninsula, far east, eastern peninsula, etc? Treasure cove was originally there because that was where one of the attack routes lead to but i had to get rid of the attack route so it wouldn't be harder for this person and easier for another
5) Since you have to go farther to take the Pirate Armada, and there are a total of 3 territories that can attack the armada, maybe up the bonus to 4? (1 to defend each of those 3 spots that can be attacked, and 1 extra?) I will do that
6) The entrance to X is easy to miss. Maybe remove 1 or 2 of the smaller along the entrance? that might make it easier to see. are you talking about the moutains, and i will get rid of some
7) There is a line (more like a slanted dash) that is next to Middle World, that makes it seem that you can go from Middle World to Far East (or might for some people). Unless this is supposed to be there, you may want to remove it I will get rid of that, that came on the background image

Graphix:

1) While the boats look much better than before, they still seem to detract some from the graphix of the map. Hope you understand what I mean I have hadd an ongoing problem with them...
2) What is the bonus for Shreinfeld? is it 4 or 9? may want to make that clearer It is 4, i'll try to make that clearer
3) The title doesn't blend as well as the rest of the map, maybe lower the opacity a tad bit? Everything else is at 75%, so i'll change it to that
4) The white glow around the font on the bottom is fine, but what would it look like with a glow that is closer to that of the color of the background? Just wondering I will change that
5) The brown of the Stardelfan +3 bonus should probably be lowered in opacity slightly, to blend in better I will try this, but if i lower it to much it will blend in completely
6) Love the rhyme of the legend! Some of the letters in it tho are harder to read. Not that importatnt to fix, just stating something Thank you, i will try to make it easier, (not sure if i can without makeing it look wierd)


This is looking 100% better than when I last saw it, good job

Anyway i thought maybe the ships could "bombard" port cities (territories connected to Grendelia) i mean that's what pirate ships do yes pillage ports... in addition to hunting treasure of course.
arrrrrr...

Zep:
With so few terts not starting as neutral, I'm wondering if it'll ever be worth it to actually go for the objective. I don't think I would, especially with certain settings. It's not a big map to begin with, throwing in all of those neutrals seems like a bit too much to me.

The boats still look like they are images placed on top of the map (i know that's what they are, but they shouldn't look like it).
I know it's difficult, and probably a pain, but I think the only way you'll get them to look right is by drawing them. No matter what image from the internet you use, and no matter how much you fade them, they may still look like they are sitting on top of the map - and they really shouldn't, they should be a part of the map.
