The borders are ok on most continents. Only problem would be Misthalin . Maybe ligthen those up a little.

Another thing, the legend is a bit hard to tell with those graphics. I would have a hard time guessing them if I didn't know anything from the map.

I'm not going to repeat lighten the textures... But yeah...

More importantly, the legend is now impossible to read. Everything looks black, newbies won't know what continent is what until that part at least is lightened.

I'd go with the lighter army circles solution myself for the continents.

Things to change
-Lighten up color
-Light army circles
-Gray borders
-Lighten legend

Anything else...hows the texture choice i cant do anything abount the intensity of it since its an image and not a frieworks texture. If everyone thinks so i could just choose a new one no big deal

If you change all you stated, I am sure you could go with that image without troubles.


Or change the image and keep everything else. Whatever floats your boat.

I just attempted to change the border color and its a pain...since the black of the country image fades into the black borders it would be near impossible to easily change the color. I think im just going to create a new backgroud texture. I'll try and fix everything else except the border colors and see how it looks but im not sure how it will come out.

NEW UPDATE 4/11/07
Image

Image
Changes
-New textures
-Lighter colors
-Light Army circles and some locations
-Text Size and location

Comments: I like it. I really think this should be good. The only concern I have is that the colors in the legend for feldip hils and asgarnia seem to be a bit close. Ill try and fix that. Please comment with anything no matter how small. I really want to fix everything so this map will be great. Let me know about the color choice and the borders or any other gameplay aspect. Thanks.

Problems to fix
-Credits on small map in lower left
-Contrast

Not only the legend looks similar. /the colors of Asgarnia and Feldip Hills themselves look really close. Maybe add more red to Feldip

Looks all good now, though the height is still somewhat a problem..But guess we'll have to do with it anyway :P

Small thing: The second text line on the bottom is quite weird on the small map, maybe try and fix it.

This texture looks good. Not crowding anything, you can tell them from the legend.

I'm not too keen on the observatory-Khazard-East ardougne-west ardougne border, making it a corner like that is confusing, and people are going to be confused as to whether diagonals border or not, so i suggest shifting the border a bit so there is no corner.

i can be confusing at times but i mean then that shifts the wholegame play from how many territories can attack a bording country which can mess with the bonuses...ill consider it tho thanks
