Nice wall.
My only complaint is can you make the 1 way attack font darker on the small map? It's hard to read on my computer.

I agree, make all the text naming the seas, channels, oceans, and the text that says "Hadrian's Wall 1 Way Attack" a little bit darker, like the color of Hadrian's Wall. I suggest doing it on both the large and small map, just to stay consistent. Nice job on the wall.

If that doesn't look good you could always make the text there larger (I have a feeling that could be more effective, but if darker works then fine)

Much better...for me, the three channels at the bottom on the small map are still hard to read, but thats not important.

Just a suggestion, but I think it would help to make the border between Westmorland and Durham more seeable.

Small:
Small Test 88:
Small Test 888:

The XML is done and tested.

Some of the territory names still need to be moved around to make room for the army count.

Cornwall and Isle of Wright need some fixes on the small map (as you probably know).
A couple of territory names, Donegal and Clywd stood out, seem to blend with the thick continent border too much. See if those can be clarified.
(By the way, I only use small maps, which is why I'm just paying attention to it.)

This might be hard to see, but between Isle of Wight and South Coast there is a greenish shape. It is only on the large map.
