Androy on the small map is one pixel too high.
Everything else looks great.
Good job!

Although i havnt re-done the small image, its fixed.

There are a few things that are a little messy that I was wondering if you could clean up…
  • The words “Impassable Terrain” on the legend overlap with the impassables icons. Please separate.
  • Your mountains have a line on the underside that cuts them off from the land. They look like pita chips. Any way to remove the bottom line?
  • Is there a reason Haute and Vato have periods after the territ names when A-M does not?
  • Why does Haute have a period after it in the key at the bottom and Vato does not?
  • Tulear is the old spelling of Toliara. Why do you use it?
  • Why do you use Tulear (Toliara) and Manja, which are cities (unless you were using Manja as a subregion of Menabe) and entirely leave out the state of Atsimo-Andrefana ?
  • Why do you use Ambrosita (presumably a city although I can’t find anything on it) and Farafangana instead of the two other regions you have not used in the province of Fianarantsoa (which are Amoron'i Mania and Atsimo Atsinanana)?
  • Why do you use Ankazobe and Betafo (towns) instead of Analamanga and Vakinankaratra, which are the other regions of the Antananarivo province?

In general, since you use region names everywhere except where you need more names (and then you use subregions), I think you should go with region names instead of towns and cities.

I personally dont see that much of a problem, but i cant separate if needed.

Sure.
Mjinga wrote: Is there a reason Haute and Vato have periods after the territ names when A-M does not?

I did this because i cut out some of the name on Haute. and Vato., however on A-M I simply shortened the name to it's initials.
Mjinga wrote: Tulear is the old spelling of Toliara. Why do you use it?

I got it from a site on the internet which claimed it was an area there.
Mjinga wrote:Why do you use Tulear (Toliara) and Manja, which are cities (unless you were using Manja as a subregion of Menabe) and entirely leave out the state of Atsimo-Andrefana ?

Again, it was from a website which said they were regions in that area.

Again still, it was from websites.

I would change these right away however im still looking for the PSD, which ive lost.

OK,here is a list of some of my nit-picks:
  1. The border around the 'Bonus Key' island looks a bit pixelly.
  2. Beware the blurry bits of bobbly border between Boeny and Betsiboka. (check out my alliteration ;-) )
  3. The old black border is still visible beneath the mountains on the Analanjirofo and Sava border
  4. The knots on the hanging lened still don't quite look right
  5. There are some bobbles on the Menabe/Bongolave border, and where the two areas meet Betafo
  6. I'm still unconvinced by the bevel effect, and that the borders don't quite meet the sea... The region borders do, but the territory border don't, it just seems inconsistent.
  7. It would be nice to have the bonus values next to the region names; the list of names otherwise almost seems redundant

There are some more things I could mention, but I'll leave it there for now ;-)

  2. Ill fix
  3. Ill fix
  4. Ill try something else
  5. Ill fix
