What are you guys talking about CS1 CS2 ?

And who is the graphical editor of this map ?

On this moment I see to many maps, play with it on your own PC and send eachother the map in a PM. This is to confusing.

And Andy is not a fan of the thick borders, now it looks like a small map that is blown up to a bigger one.

Of course the borders still could be a bit thinner, dont you think? The last 3 versions of land textures are ok, although we could still test some. I think you can try something more alike to the last ocean texture (although Im not suggesting that one), a texture without many different areas, more constant, but also not so heavy...

But I sure about something: the neutral land areas also need to be texturized. I think would be good one to Holland, one to ocean and one to neighbour countries (by the way, will you label them? if you wont, they should all be same colour, I think).

my main problem is you've got some glow to your borders which thickens them and makes them look just not good.

ok, thx for sharing ur opinion.

Well i might be able 2 blur the boreder with out glow so it does't look blocky and it still wont be very wide.

i think we should have both maps. However if we have to settle for one it should be this as the playability in my opinion is much better. Visually BeNeLux is better but at the end of the day we wnat to play on it not admire it. In regards to this bluring the borders would be good also can you make both neutral areas the same colour to mae it clearer. Also can the texture of the sea be softned slightlyit looks too much like wrapping paper.
