the color scheme is awful. Both of the greens are nasty and the blue, light blue, gray combo doesn't flow very well

The neutrals aren't that bad. In fact I'd say not bad at all. Could you stop deleting your older images so we can see how it's progressed? Like right now I want to check what the neutrals used to look like so I can give a recommendation, but I can't, because I can't see them.

Nice work on seperating the colours though.

much better color scheme, not nearly as harsh. You may want to play around with the uncrossable borders, those aren't too bad, but they could be better

Yes, they are, in my opinion. Neutral areas = oceans??? Very VERY bad.

I like the new look, but the neutral territories still need to be changed. What if you had some sort of flag over them, similar to your Eastern Front map?

use gray for the neutrals, its a very neutral color and it wouldn't look all that bad. I'm not really opposed to how they are now, but if it must be changed...

couldnt the flags be the ones of that country....and take away the yellow border if your going to do that
Would you choose supremecy if it lead to isolation?

i believe the flag's idea was very misguided. it looks ugly as sin and could potentially make names of countries and troop circles very hard to read.

I definitely the way you had it originally works and looks much better. I know you are trying to please everyone qwert, but you don't have to implement everything someone suggests, as long as you have reasons why you are not including it, or if others have equal reasons why as not to put said suggestion in.

Anyways, definitely the map without the flags looks better. Someone mentioned adding the 'yellow border' to the part of russia that is unplayable, and I think that would help the map look a little more refined.

I guess the flags don't work because there's so many neutral countries. I really dont think the yellow borders is the way to go, it's just so confusing. It's not up to me though, so do what you think is best qwert.

Yellow borders is bad, neutrals like the ocean is the worst. I think you can use the flags, but try mege them with a gray colour, so they wouldnt be so light and wouldnt distract the players so much.
