[Official] British Isles REVAMP [Quenched]

[PerkinsRooster]

Nicer map but too big. I didn't find the old map too small, the size was fine.

[iancanton]

as mentioned before, can we rename “cheshire” as “west midlands”, then expand west midlands to include staffordshire, warwickshire, herefordshire and worcestershire, then redraw the southern england continent to exclude cheshire (which is culturally part of the north of england), then expand “lancashire” to include cheshire? the “west midlands” territory then becomes identical to the government office region of the same name.

a similar renaming can be done for “midland” to “east midlands”, which will include derbyshire, nottinghamshire, leicestershire, rutland and northamptonshire, again following the government office regional boundary (excluding lincolnshire). in this way, the borders have some basis in reality, rather than being drawn at random.

central england still lacks areas that are recognisably the east midlands (excluding lincolnshire) and west midlands government regions.

the isle of mull has somehow managed to stick to the south-west corner of strathclyde, as has anglesey to the north-west corner of gwynedd.

Large


Small

[Night Strike]

There are several territories, such as Dumfries & Galloway, on the small map whose names take up the entire territory. Where are the army numbers going to be (because it could get very crowded in that specific area)??

dumfires and galloway is the only one i see. I have fixed it and it will be up in the next draft

[Night Strike]

Perhaps West Midlands, Northumberland, Donegal, Cornwall, Gwynedd. Perhaps move Lancashire down slightly. That's all I see that may have problems.

Ok thanks.

I think that when you have territory names with two lines (Northern Ireland, Southern Highlands, North Leinster, etc), the text should be centered over itself. Right now they look scattered and maybe left justified.

I would suggest making all of the text center justified to keep everything consistent and neat.

Can you make Hadrian's Wall look like a wall, like how the original did?

I cant make it look like a wall because of the style of the map, it wouldnt fit.

Actually I think you could. Make the wall in the style of the mountains (line color and glow). Like this. It is subtle but still looks like a wall and fits the theme of the map.

[gimil]

i like it, ill attempt it with the next update.

[edbeard]

are you also going to extend the green border for the river between Connaught and Munster? It looks weird just having the thick green stop randomly.

[mibi]

whats that map in a box for.

for the third time, decoration.

I tired to get them to merge better, you still not happy with them? Then ill make them all green

[edbeard]

well it's the thickness as well not just the colour. I just don't see a good reason why it should be any different at that area. It should be uniform throughout

[Ogrecrusher]

Maybe make the river blueish?

[gimil]

I was trying not to make the river any thicker than it needed to be

[lanyards]

I love the subtleness of the map, it looks really good.

On the box of The British Isles zoomed out, above "Revamped By Gimil, 2007", there is a difference between the large and small. On the small map, the box either has a drop shadow or a extra thick left border, but the left border on the large map is normal.

Again, the map looks great.

I see it, its just an extra px in lenght, will be fixed next update.

no worries, just draw it so the land becomes covered up a bit more instead of the river.
