Regarding the Saraha, I was meaning background/shading wise, not suggesting an extra territory or anything. Looking again, I think it may benefit from removing the border along the bottom of the map - then it would be consistent with the north-east of the map and just be clearer that it extends beyond the edge of the map?

Minor point but probaby related to other minor point above.

Yeah. I guess you're right
I think I'll extent lybia and Al-Inskandaria territories 'till the end of the map... Just to be consistent as you say ;)

Cheers! And thank you for all the sugestions:)

i find the continent legend rather hard to read. could you possibly outline the boxes in the legend with the same lines you used for the borders so they look more like the terits they represent?

Are the bonus bonus partly transparent? Reducing transparency as well as outlining and may be an idea?

The great thing about this map is that the overall style really fits the era.

this map is very good.
Only a little thing...Is possible a different graphic for routes?
Good work you are on the right way! ;)

The anchors are better in this version but for instance, the Normandy anchor is unclear that it goes with Normandy. Perhaps if they connect the tert with the water it would be better.

:O Now that miniwally notices...I think there's an extra arrow near the shield in Castilla? Shouldn't only be there ONE single arrow to indicate that from Castilla to Cordoba it is 'one way attack' ? I can see two, but I don't know what the other is for... :oops:
Please, enlighten us, dear Beko The Great!

i think the third arrow is there becuase it looks nicer with three evenly distrubuted arrows than with two. not for any functional purpose. and I agree, it does.

I agree - the extra arrow is surely aesthetic.

What would you like to be changed in atack routes?

A thing I can change.

About the whole arrows issue I think the territory connections are clear as the one-way attacks are too. However a shape change is not bad thought.

Cheers! I'll be working on this maybe tomorrow. I've been kinda busy the last few days.

WOW...first impression this is a really good map but i feel that their aren't enough territories or differences in bonuses. It looks really good, but there aren't any differneces between bonuses. If you could make another map with some more terretories this map would be perfect

Well, there are diferent sizes for CC maps, this one is not that small. For example in a 4 player game, each player starts with 15 territories, which I consider, very reasonable. Besides that, the regions are those more coerent with the historical/geographical ones. Cheers!

Wow! It's really perfect, I dare saying! And the arrows, I see now, they are merely aesthetic!
I would really feel like a crusadier if I played on this map...! Forward! You have my total support, as you already know! :oops:

Anything you think must be better, please say. About gameplay I think things are virtualy decided, but any new idea would be always wellcome :D

I love this map, cant believe I've kept on missing it.

Graphically, its a little hard to tell which territory the shields at paris and lorraine and the port at normandy are on.

Also the legend on the small map is a little hard to read.

Shields and Ports are associated to the territory names, not to the territories themselves. But I'll see what I can do to make things clearer ;)

I'll work on it. Maybe I shall use other Font to Small Map

I shall put the army circle Slightly aside.
