I think we should let the map maker experiment with this 'cartoonish' style. It's something fresh and I think he has done a very good job so stop bashing him about it.

In fact I am going to admit that personally I find the map visually stunning.

I am still not satisfied with Corsica though, but making it larger would involve redesigning the map since it was not considered at the start.

SpinWizard....I myself think the title is quite OK as it is.

The legend is too glarish with all that red in it...if you changed it to my suggested colours it might look better. Perhaps change the font colour in the legend to that if the regions.

But the title and legend definitely have a "French" appeal.
I'd leave it, unless others require the change.

Perhaps if you also change to dashes to Corse to the same colour as those territories.

I think the "by SpinWizard" needs to be stylized more also, and consistent with colours in the title and legend.

Hope this helps!

Ok that's not what I mean for Corsica but I must admit that I like what you've done. It's fine by my standards and I would definitely play this map. Good job.

Now you need Andy's feedback.

Hmm...usually he pops in to check the maps in development but I don't think it would hurt if you asked him to give you feedback on your map.

SpinWizard...I have to say sorry :oops: but it is too obscured by everything else that is happening in the legend. Perhaps if you tried moving it into the background of one of the unused map areas like the sea, it would come up clearer and one would be able to tell what it is.
The perfect example of this is in Guiscard's Mongol Empire Map in development.

SpinWizard, then I would say lose it...as it does nothing to enhance that area. Sorry.
