New colours rule over old ones.

Also, being born in Wales and living there for most of my life, I know that Dyfed doesn't exist anymore. Maybe you don't mind about this, it's historical and includes Hadrian's wall after all, but it seems a little weird to me.
I'd suggest Pembrokeshire or Carmarthenshire.


Edit number 2:
I think the impassables should be replaced where possible with real or exaggerated geograpical features. You've already done this with the Shannon in Ireland, but I believe someone else suggested the new forest for the Land's end impassable, and what about the River Severn for the Wales one?

Finally, you really could make the river Shannon look more like a river and less like a careless dragging of the mouse

Looking good!

of the current welsh territories, only powys covers the same area as the current councils. the others mostly follow the boundaries as they were from 1975-1995, which is also the case for scotland. the advantage of using the 1975 areas is that the number of regions in wales and scotland is roughly equal to the number of welsh and scottish territories on this map, so that fewer places are left out.

the welsh impassable could be offa's dyke. i think it's unnamed on the original map because it's not a one-way attack route or anything else unusual.

Can Cumberland attack Lothian & Borders? You might want to change the borders slightly to clarify this.

I checked the XML. They don't.

i'm sure this has been said, but i like the colors on the current map a lot more than this version.

Gimil, have you got another update for us yet? It's been over a month!

Ive put this one on hold for now

WM is going to make me some impassables at some point, then ill restart it

not sure if already said (sorry if it is)
but the unplayable land seems to have to much attention, you can better tone the borders a bit down to make them gray (and maybe even remove the border between the two country's there)

Should that not be "Cavan" instead of Covan?!

I like this a lot, I thought this map was pretty good, but seeing it now it was well worth the effort to re do it

gimil, u need to check the hadrien's wall borders. it looks like there is a four ways thing going on cause im not sure of northumberland can attack gallows or cumberland can attack borders.

love ths map!!!

oK I went thorught te thread and addressed every issues except the unpassables, those this be addressed eventually

I just want to know if there is any further concerns before I restart the large version.

One quick thing.
I don't think Northumberland can attack Dumfries & Galloway, and if it doesn't, maybe you could scoot the Northumberland-Cumberland border right a pixel or two to clarify this.

I plan to counter this issue with one way attack arrows over hadrians wall from Northumberland to Lothian and Boarders and Cumberland to Dumfries and galloway.

no need for the arrows i think just make the borders clearens a bit more

That wouldn't really work, because then someone might think Cumberland can attack Lothian & Borders.

With a 4 way border?

I like the map without the flags

u have tried very hard, largely successfully, to keep the territory boundaries consistent with actual county boundaries (not the easiest job when ur hands are tied by keeping the same gameplay). the only boundary issue remaining here is location of the west midlands: the whole of the west midlands territory needs to be moved down by one county.

http://www.advantagewm.co.uk/the-west-midlands-region/

west midlands just now: shropshire, staffordshire and cheshire excluding wirral
west midlands proposed: official definition, being shropshire, staffordshire, herefordshire, worcestershire and warwickshire, with impassable hills (cotswolds) between warwickshire and oxon

lancashire just now: lancashire and wirral
lancashire proposed: lancashire and whole of cheshire (because cheshire is a north of england county – ever watched hollyoaks?)

midlands just now: contains warwickshire, which makes territory a very odd shape
midlands proposed: remove warwickshire

gloucs just now: gloucs, herefordshire and worcestershire
gloucs proposed: gloucs

unstick the isle of anglesey from gwynedd.

key for abbreviations of long names like gloucestershire, oxfordshire and possibly dumfries & galloway.

is land’s end to keep the same name or be renamed west of england, wessex or something else? i don’t think this was ever resolved. land’s end is the name of only a tiny part of one of the territories in the continent, though it is one of the original author’s idiosyncrasies that some players might like to retain as a homage to the old map.

f*ck me ian, what a way t okeep me busy

Why is this map not done yet. This image looks great. What were the issues with it?
It is easy to read, good colors, nice style. What is the trouble?

my only issue with this map, is that i think hadrian's wall could look alot sweeter!

i think hadrians wall + the territories around it could be done better
ie
is it possible to attack cumberland ----> lothian & borders
and Northumberland ----> dumfries & Galloway
plus the wall could be more prominent perhaps

I agree with the last two posts

yes the last TWO

I'd be in favour of giving the wall a bit more depth to get more detail in there.
