Bring back the 3D wall, and keep working on the overall saturation. It's still to washed out.

It's not better than the 3D wall ;)
But it's your map. Just like the Halloween map is Mr W.K's.

Not at all, especially since it's hardly readable.

I still think that the mountains between Glous and Gwent are wrong. The malverns are further north (they are in the midlands( west midlans and powis maybe?)...quite a bit further north. Even if you were to have offa's dyke between wales and england it does stretch down that far...

Also the Land's End Label...westcountry would be far better...after all that is what the region is known as. Lands end is less than 1km square.

Also if the Isle of Whight is a territory why is Anglesey (the isle at the top of wales) not a territory?

Took a little artistic license, this is a REVAMP so I have to keep the gameplay the same.

Again, a revamp have to give with the gameplay from before.

I thought you could tweak it slightly, but only with the original mapmaker's permission

Beautiful map. My only issue right now is that the hadrian's wall text is a little hard to read, particularly on the small map. Looks like you did darken it a bit but I'm still struggling a bit.

i think we've come to the point where having to spell out arrow= 1 way attack is unnecessary,

but i guess you could darken the text in small just a little

I might just take the explaination out, I think the arrows are more than enough for the standard competant person!

Agreed.

And (slap me if I'm too late in the process for this) I think that "Lands End" is a really poor name for that 'continent'. Since "Lands End" is the Western most tip of Cornwall. Certainly nothing to do with Devon, Dorset or Avon.
I notice that territory names have been revised in this update so how about continents too ?

"South West England" would be adequate.
"The West Country" or "The South West" would be in keeping with typical UK nomenclature ...
