C.

Some spelling issues:

-"Linconshire" --> "Lincolnshire"
-"Donegol" --> "Donegal"
-"Dorest" --> "Dorset"
-"Lothian and Boarders" --> "Lothian and Borders"
-"Glamongan" --> "Glamorgan"
-"Westmoreland" --> "Westmorland"

Also, if that's an ampersand in south wales, consider using it consistently as a replacement for and (scotland).

I think they are a little too bold, perhaps fading them some would help, but I would have to see it. Overall, it just makes the map too busy. Part of the appeal for the other one was that there wasn't too much that distracted you when playing the game.

I personally would like to see it done similar to the current version just with a more updated feel, but not adding all sorts of extra images and things.

That's just me though.

Also, the double-line borders between the continents just look awkward to me. They don't seem to match up very well.

i just feel like its too much...

I like it

What happened to Cork and Kerry? Those are my favourite territories on the BI map.

Also, the impassable dividers look ugly, try some mountains.

The impassables are still under going work like i mentioned. . . .

and the terr names have been changed to make the map more geographically correct. But the gameplay is still the same.

Next updates TODO LIST:

-XML modification
-Reduce dead space at the top of map
-Make unpassables pretty
-Begin small version
-Get moved to main foundry.
-"Linconshire" --> "Lincolnshire"
-"Donegol" --> "Donegal"
-"Dorest" --> "Dorset"
-"Lothian and Boarders" --> "Lothian and Borders"
-"Glamongan" --> "Glamorgan"
-"Westmoreland" --> "Westmorland"
-Replace ampersand with "and"
-Tidy up doubles boarders
-reduce the flags opacity

More spelling errors (I think there were more wrong than right to start with ):

Lothian and Borders
Glamorgan and Gwent

I don't like "Central England" as a territory - maybe change that plus Lincolnshire into "West Midlands" and "East Midlands" with their correct borders, which wouldn't affect the gameplay.

Technically "The British Isles" includes the Channel Islands as well as the Orknies and Shetlands - but as this is a revamp I guess they are quite hard to include.

TODO LIST:

-XML modification
-Make unpassables pretty Wink

Have you tried coloring in the continents and then making the flags be a watermark inside?

Also congrats on figuring out my checklist to get moved.

I like the subtle geographic background i have going on atm. Without it everything is flat and would require more artificial textures. Something i dont really want.

Done it all by myself

p.s. is it safe to mark this as an [OFFICIAL] revamp thread?

There has been demand, the author showed up to ask, you persued it and recieved direct permission. If he wanted there to be a contest he made no mention of it. You are the official revamp artist, much like how the Brazil revamp went.

Sounds good to me, jsut needed the official word

EDIT: doesnt that look better

I really don't like the country flags as is. Not sure how to fix it, but I'd rather play the current map than that one (and I've played this map alot).

Also, can you change the text of the oceans? Looks like they were just thrown on there.
