I suggest darkening the water as it tends to blend in with Zuid Nederland.
Also, a dropshadow on all land would be interesting to see.

I agree fitz. I still have quite a problem with zuid-nederland looking like a big continent shaped lake.

Think the name limit should be fine though Lone Prophet, really looking forward to playing this map.

A bit dark...
I think you can use the font a bit smaller. Or non bolded (I think they are bolded because letters are too thick).
The names over the sea (south area) should be connected to their respective countries.
And, the Schouwen - Beveland bridge is too long, maybe would be better connect Tholen and Beveland?

If you lighten the sea lighten zuid the same amount so it still looks distinct.

The color of Zeeland doens't match the color of the Zeeland-bonusnumber any more.

And the bridge connecting Flevoland and Amsterdam isn't there in reality. There is one connecting Flevoland and Utrecht.

This maps moving along in the right direction.

Not a fan of the bridges though. The army circles are maybe a bit too dark, blue and green numbers might be a bit hard to read in some places.

Some of those territory names bordering the sea need to be moved closer to the actual territory. Also your legend colours don't always match the actual continent colours.

Good to see the map still moving forward.

P.S. I'm not ignoring your map, or anyones. To all those who think I am ignoring your maps, you are wrong. :) I've got other priorities at CC other than just Foundry! :)

How do you know the size and the colors of the numbers.

I think that they where automatic created if the map is loaded in CC.
