Gelibolu--------Gallipoli
Dayr az Zog-----Deir ez Zor
Konya-antep-----Konya
Kutais-Batum----Kutaisi
AKbah-----------Sinai

OK qwert...to be fair....after this current poll in run, we'll have another poll and let the foundry commenters decide what goes on the map. I'd prefer the original english names, but others might have another choice.

Strange decision,every body know for Gallipoli(these is one example) and you want to add gelibolu(turkish name).
Anadolu is name for Asia Minor-all turkey and you put in place where is Adrianople(Edirne in turkey)
Sinai Peninsula is proper name for Akbah.
Well i just want to help to be proper, its up to you.

I'm American, and I would prefer it to be in the Turkish language. It's a map of their country after all.

so the chinese maps should be in chinese character? The Mongol map in mongol text ?
And in worldmaps should have each individual country have its national spelling?
And what about contested areas ? The ottoman empire though appearing united in reality was and always had been a conglomerate of small groups of nationalities (as in Tito's Yugoslavia, as in Today's China, as in Former Soviet Union, as in etc..etc..)..
But what do you know, you're American.

Why shouldn't they be? Put English underneath or something.

Then let's hope no-one decides to make the Thailand map:
The real name of Bangkok is Krungthep Mahanakon Bovorn Rattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokpop Noparatratchatathani Burirom Udomratchanivetmahasatan Amornpiman Avatarnsatit Sakkathattiyaavisnukarmprasit.
And the english translation would be something like:
The city of angels, the great city, the residence of the Emerald Buddha, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukarn.
Better stick to english or internationally accepted names

I guess I'm the only one who feels that the Armenia colour on the legend and the map don't really match? (Looks darker on the legend to me)

Hey cairns...this map looks great, but why did you use the inset? Couldn't you have fitted the army circles in the main map? A mini map could be used to fill that extra space.
I also have some big problems to distinguish the colours. Aleppo and Adana regions look a bit similar and the pink British territories are hard to see. Perhaps a darker red would do the trick. I'm sorry to bring this up because the colour scheme is really nice but a bit confusing for my colour blind eyes.

The army circles fitted, but the one-way arrow didn't and it was very cramped compared to the rest of the map.

Yes i'm pleased you've happened along for that CB issue. I'll change those colours a bit to suit if i can.

if the british campaign in mesopotamia really began in 916, that was indeed a long campaign!
I'm throwing this out there both for you and other mapmakers: as a color blind player I appreciate it when the borders between regions differ from the territory borders in some manner other than color. On this map, every territory has an inner glow rather than every region as in some maps, which gets my eyes going in circles trying to sort out what's what. And in some cases the borders between territories of like color seem to be darker than between territories of different regions.
And am I the only one concerned about this trend of new maps with legends that are as large as the playing area?

Cairns your Legend mixes tenses/ownerships...
For the Allies you have
Great Britain
Italy
France
and
Russian Empire
Mussien of Mecca
Consider using the collective terms i.e.
British
French
Italian
Especially as these areas aren't "France" - they are "French" however.

well this will not remain in this form and if i can trim it down i will...however there is nothing written in stone, concrete or any other medium in this site that says the design has to be as you described above and are concerned about.
as long as the map stays with bounds of the size regulations.....

It does seem a bit pointless to squeeze the inset area in, when there is plenty of room to spread things out...
