I changed the font and brightened the map:

Is this font too hard to read? Should I stop trying to get nicer looking fonts and just use easy to read ones?

I think though some colors are too similar. I tried for a few minutes to figure out everything.

I also think some bonuses are too small. Like ascadian isles ( not too sure if I got the right ones ) have 4 borders, 7 territories, and +2?


West cash, 3 borders, 6 territories. Only +2?


I think ashlands and grazelands bonuses should be switched around.


Would wait for others oppinions on those before changing them, but that's my oppinion.

Thanks for reminding me, I need to add the mountains in. They are on one of my posts a page or two back if you want to see where they are.

Ah, with mountains, things should clear up. I'll wait until you add those later before saying anything.

Textures.. The one for the silver and dark red. Make it like all the others.
Colours.. All of them

Also, the army circles are too small.

Why is the bonus right in the middle of the map? It should be somewhere towards one of those empty corners.

I put it in the middle because I didn't feel like making a box in a corner and I wanted to see how it looked in the middle. The middle looked bad being empty, so I thought I would make it look better by putting the legend there

Telvannia make your own thread...this is CaptainPlanet's and his map

Right now he basically owns the idea since u never officially posted yours. Make your own thread and see what happens and by the way you map is terrible compared to his so its most likely that yours wont get made

I also want to get some feedback on the mountains. Any ideas on how to make them better?

Few things I can think of:

- The borders are still too thick.
- It's ugly to have this text with information about the bonuses in the middle, in my opinion.
- The picture on the left does simply not work, at least with this background. Perhaps it is because how you pasted it on.

The graphics are not good, the last picture still looks like just a draft. You have a long way to go.

I agree with Jafnar

Also i think the mountains should go directly on the border or in place of them
