A couple of things to help you move on:
1) I agree with carl that maybe you can change the background into an arcade style background. I personally think it will work with the rest of the map.
2) You need to submit a
design brief.
Wait, what? I thought the design briefs were just for image size increases? I'm confused now...

Well if it had changed, I wasn't told
So as far as I know, everyone still has to submit a design brief.

Well, errr, maybe you're both young challenged:

As per usual, I haven't read the entire thread
I really like the map though. Looks like it'll be fast and furious, very tough to keep your bonuses. It does seem like a disproportionate bonus for Maser Array + 3 whites. 50 troops means you need to hold it for just one turn and you've basically won. Perhaps that's the point, dunno, just seems like a whole lot for 4 territories on the face of it.
Looking forward to playing in any case

I do too, though I'd suggest coloring the areas similarly to their colored icons, if that makes sense.

I tried that. The icons just blended into the background. Especially purple and yellow. Maybe if I go really light....

Or go the other extreme - go dark. Just try it out and see
Hopefully this is enough to get the Draft Stamp...

Ok, for your cross map attacks, how about a line depicting them.
This whole notion of Russia owning Hawaii is driving me mad... That's USA territory!
The biggest problem that I see, right now, is that those floaty balls, rocket ships and strange buildings have no meaning or consequence for me. You've got the legend space, explain what it is that I'm looking at here.

I think its to do with the map-makers response to requests for cartoon-if-ication, the rockets connect to space ports etc though.
I quite like the strange buildings - kind of futuristic industrial-technological centres?

Yes but the point was that those need to be explained on the map itself.

Yeah, some kind of backstory along the lines of:
"As mankind and world politics adapt to life in Bio-Domes and the ever-expanding Techno-Cities, military developments focus on control of the Moon, its resources and the powerful Maser Array laser."

I mean, the function of the different icons should be explained.

As far as I understand, only the rockets have a function, the rest are just standard regions belonging to bonus zones.?

No, there are also factories. The icons should be listed on a legend, explained which is which, and what they do.
