Ian I appreciate all the work you have put in to help me get this far, but this time im putting my foot down adn saying no to your changes for england. It has been changed so many times and with your suggestion which requires another set of unpassables jsut isnt going to happen sorry.

The unpassables:
I reworked the river, reworked some of te mountains. I decided against teh forest idea becasue it was doable in a way to fit the style of the map.

I will rework the border to elimenate the 4 way border around hadrians, but the wall itself has been tweeked a little but there not much I can do with 5 pixels.

I agree with gimil. This map should have been done weeks ago. It looks great and not everyone can be pleased with each graphical aspect. Since gimil is not ignoring advice but choosing to pick his own artistic design while trying to accomidate as many as plssible I think we need to let this discussion rest.

As far as teh 4-way border, how do you plan on fixing it? With 1-way arrows over the wall?

is it possible to just shift the border lines a bit so its a lil more obvious or is going to be u can only attack strait??
either way i just hope the arrows arent tacky

[edbeard]

I don't like the new way you did the river. Why would a border jump across water like that?

what was wrong with the way it was before?

it makes the river seem like it's not a river. The Connaught to Munster border just doesn't look to be an impassable one anymore.

edbeard if I remeber correctly you where the one that didnt like the river before . . .

[edbeard]

I like the one in the version widowmakers posted on the last page.

I don't like the one in the latest version you put up. I'm not sure why that change was made. Perhaps it is just an issue where a layer is hidden?

[Serbia]

This is one of my favorite maps, looking forward to the new revamp!

[Aidan Kerr]

the new map looks great cant wait till i play on it

[Fruitcake]

I assume you are aware of the history between Lancashire and Yorkshire.

I assume you are fully aware of how many Lancashire people you have insulted badly.

[khazalid]

cool revamp, how long before its rubber-stamped ya think?

[yeti_c]

Probably a while - obviously more people need to be made aware that this map is gonna be revamped judging by the current Classic crisis.

There other channels to promote this, take it elsewhere.

[jiminski]

I actually don't mind this map change (how will the armies be presented?)

Is there a reason that the wall is not more clearly wall-like?

[firstholliday]

urmmm i,m looking for the classic thread.......

I already mentioned this... THe wall in the over map is much nicer! Please at least make a decent looking wall or put the old one one. At the moment it looks shit!

[Ruben Cassar]

Is Camb. Cambridge? Would it be possible to write the full name for Cambridge and Gloucs. cause the abbreviations bug me?

Apart from that this map looks superb. The colours are really pleasing on the eye. I love it...great job!

[se3lad]

Great changes withe the flag backdrop. With the Lands End region, you could consider using the Cornish flag perhaps?

On the list of armies awarded for holding a region, the spelling has been changed on the revamped map to IRERAND!

Cambridgeshire is not that narrow and the original was much closer in that respect.

[bryguy]

i wanna go to Irerand some day!


but where is it? i didnt know there was a irerand in Great Britain/near Great Britain

[MrBenn]

"Essex & Camb." should be "Essex & Cambs."

Other than that, I think this is ready to go...

[MrBenn]

How about adding a tag to the current map in play to let people know that it is about to be revamped:

Thats the only Ireland...that i know of. That is a typo right? I dont think there is an Irerand...not trying to be sarcastic...
