Once you get back we'll give the map a look over and see what we can do about the next level. :)

Just remember: the words are "I do". I've seen many a relationship go to waste because the room is lost for words.

And we're writing our own vows! This could end badly...

The wedding was a huge success with only some minor glitches (caterers - GRRR).
The honeymoon in Malawi was bloody awesome!


I'm back and will be getting back on track with the map as soon as I get back on top of my huge pile of work responsibilities...

I know it's minor, but I don't really like the word wrap in some of the territory names (like Zululand)

What's the latest version of the map, Crowley? Is it the image on the previous page?

P.S. How is the new life working out for you? :);)

No, the latest version is v19 on page 1 - basically the same as the image on page 14, but with a different flag.
I will slowly get back on track with this, but I have a mountain of work to get through before I can spend some actual time on this again...


The 'new life' is great, thanks... We've lived together for three years, so it's not a big adjustment ;)

It's been a few months and KEYOGI asked me if I will get my ass in gear to finish this map.

I'm still very busy, really, but I think I can finish it.

Please, your feedback would be appreciated, as always.

Welcome back Crowley.

Anyways, to me the map looks pretty much perfect.

The only things i would change are:
- Moving the bridge connecting Joburg North Freeburg a bit to the right so that it does not touch Southern NW, but this might be hard considering Joburg is a small territory.
- Personally, I do not like the ocean font. I'm not sure why, perhaps they stand out too much, but I'm not sure.

I can't recall seeing a small version of the map. Would you be able to provide us with a small map Crowley? And perhaps, post your updates on the current page as well so the development's nice and easy to follow.

If it has xml then it looks ready to play. I don't remember if this was someone I agreed to do the xml for or not.

This is very surprising feedback...

Looking at it, I think the legend needs some work and the mountains aren't perfect.
