Monkey is too large, and I don't like the shiny blue aura it has.

The monkey gotta go . . .

Also the continent thats dark green should be changed in color. Its to similar to the dead area and gives me the impresion on first site that its unplayable.

Your map right now is missing any pop, theres no excitment. Fill up hte dead space you have, spice up the legends wtc. Right now its boarderline boaring/plain.
What do you know about map making, bitch?

i haven't checked in for a while...
the colors are an improvement, and the water looks great.
but there seems to be a lot of wasted space.
i'm assuming this is your large map, because it's too big to be a small map.
if that's the case, things will get pretty cramped in the small map.
if this were my map, i would get rid of the banner legend. all of that info can fit into the upper right corner.
and i would expand the actual map.
i know it would mean changing what you've done, but it's just a suggestion.
as it is now, that banner is wasting too much space that could be better utilized.
also, will there be continent names?

i think that's a vast improvement.

what gimil is probably suggesting is changing the font of the title to something that might be more representative of the area.

at least, i think that's what he's saying.

Very professional I think. Good job. Legend looks sharp for sure. Title is great. Colors look good. Maybe the addition of something like.... "Dotted lines are passable borders" under the title or something? Usually on maps, there's notes like that. Then again, I think the dotted lines are obviously passable, so maybe you don't need that.

I forgot about this:
churchill falls, not churchil
PEI might be nicer that P.E.I (less crowded on a small territory)

Ok, so what we need now is :

-Small verison of map
-XML
-Change the name "Churchil Falls to Churchill Falls"
-Change "PEI" to "P.E.I"

Anything else?

changing P.E.I. to PEI makes no sense. Those letters stand for something: Prince Edward Island. The dots signify that.

t.e.c , Telvannia is busy and has little time to work on it.

Gilled#1 ,i'll look at it and see if we can do it or not.

Also this is the map i used to base the names/regions:
