The words off to the right look blurred. I like the way it looks so try and bring the map to life on your next draft. See some of the map making tutorials

It's a decent rough draft. You should be able to get some good feedback in relation to gameplay from here. The quality of the graphics will need to improve (I'm hoping that you haven't knocked this up in Paint or something?), but it's a good signal of intent ;-)

Hmmm... I just don't like that blue background, maybe add some texture or change the blue, I agree with sailor, too blurred on the right, but overall good draft atempt =D>

I'm a little put off that 16 names need explaining. And that the closest boxes with the full names don't always contain the ones my eyes think they should. A bottom like World 2.1 would be good. Either alphabetize the names, or colour them so I can easily find the one I seek, or place them near their true territories. Mes? Mar? To? They don't all add up either.

And you will at some point want to put this all into lovely vector based graphics, find something about it that says "Sicily!" and not just "What is this island of funny names??"

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. ;-)

I hope so, because I think this map has potential.
