I can't remember if I've updated anything on the map, but here is the latest image I'm working from (with a random choice of title)
Image

And here is the next round of titles to choose from:
Option A wrote:Image

Option B wrote:Image

Option C wrote:Image

Option D wrote:Image

Option E wrote:Image

Option F wrote:Image

I have kept the font the same as that used elsewhere on the map - I felt that different typefaces didn't quite fit...

I've set up the poll... so HAPPY VOTING!

I would be happy with any of these; I have a couple of favourites, so I hope they do well ;-)

Right now they just look like long narrow inlets.


This been overlooked? Any comments? :)

Don't worry - this hasn't been overlooked - I've been focusing on the title ;-)

Does anybody else have an opinion?

I like the rivers, they're simple, but I doubt anything more complicated would fit with the map like they do now.

I preferred the options on the previous poll. I don't have any preference one way or another. I'd say just pick the one you like and go with it.

Tritto. Usually for this kind of stuff, a only a few opinions and your own judgment is needed.
I'd go for any of the last three, as I don't think the gold beveled stars go with the rest of the map.

All I need is one more vote for F, to put each choice at 3 votes :lol:

I think I'm going to go for D, but make the Europa goddess slightly lighter.

As for the rivers, I'm inclined to leave them as they are, unless there is an overwhelming surge of people who would like something different. The current style fits the rest of the map nicely in my opinion, and I'm not convinced a change would necessarily be for the better... ;-)

i think the title will look better if you move it closer to the horse i think it will go fitt perfectly above the little downhill on the top of norway.

Another thing i don't know if this is a old version but Italy seem a bit oddly drawn. no terretorie lines?

just you. there are many problems with the other Europe map in terms of correct names and groupings. This map addresses those problems (and doesn't include Africa as part of the map) without having to revamp the old map.

The gameplay is completely different so why does it matter that they both deal with Europe. If you really hate it, it'll be another map you can skip over on the game finder tab.

Re: Europa (New Europe) [I, Gp] p1/49 **Updated**

Update!

  • Option D is the one I've gone with for the title, although I've made a few tweaks as the poll was so inconclusive
  • I've added a very slight gradient to the ocean, making it slightly brighter down in the Mediterranean, and slightly colder/darker in the North
