Could you move Trabzon's coordinates down a few pixels? On the small map it's not as much a problem because they are going to be cut off no matter what, but on the large map I think you can fit the numbers in the tert.

Ah, not sure if this goes here... but I believe Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is spelled incorrectly on the map. On the map its Anglo-Eyptian Sudan.

Menu is dreadfully difficult to match up with what territory corresponds to the color.

Then why weren't you in here while the map was in development telling me that. Get your act together please. Don't wait until maps are finished to tell mapmakers these things. You have a responsibility. Use it!

It says Iznir in the XML but looks like Izmir on the map.

In dropdown menu, Izmir is mispelled "Iznir".

Nice map, cairnswk
Just one thing. I don't know if this has been discussed before because I didn't read the whole 23 pages.
But the one thing that really caught my eye was the lower left corner. The placement of the soldiers' image and the symbol legend doesn't seem right to me. My feeling tells me the soldiers should be moved up and left a bit in that grid, and maybe the text should be centered with the symbol above it.
But that's just my feeling. Maybe you can understand, it seems a bit randomly placed in an otherwise so well-balanced map.
My 2 cents

The name of one of the regions, Constantinopole, is wrong. It used to be the old name which was being used before the Ottoman conquest (which was many years ago before 1914). The correct name should be Istanbul.

From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IstanbulRepublic of Turkey
Main article: Turkey
When the Republic of Turkey was founded by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk on October 29, 1923, the capital was moved from Istanbul to Ankara.
The city's Turkish name İstanbul was already in popular use among the local population, but the international name Constantinople also remained in use until the Turkish Postal Services Law of March 28, 1930, according to which all foreign countries were asked to solely use the name Istanbul also in their languages and their postal service networks.
Therefore, on the basis of this quote above and the maps, i would be inclined to stick with Constantinople

Thanks for the feedback mpxy...do you equate with abts...sorry only joking.
...me doing algebra at present at uni.
I researched this quite well, and .44 above has provided most of the references. Therefore i would prefer to stick with Constantinople.

On a different note, i feel the map is missing a Black Sea link to the Russian Empire.
Reasoning: the object of securing the Dardnelles was to secure a link to Russia. If this had been done, there would be a sea route from Edirne to Crimea-Kuban.
Question for change to gameplay
What do others feel about inserting this link into the map to make the Russian Empire more vulnerable if someone holds O. Europe terts? The attack route would be bothways.

As there hasn't been much discussion about this here, either before or after you brought it up, it doesn't look to be a major concern of players. I'd say this is your call, mapmaker.
