i really think that you need to take a look at a map from the Rev. war.
The borders are WAY off... I'm not trying to be mean, so don't take it personal or anything, but try to make the map more like the borders of the states and not just lines.

Also why did you just cover-up the land and put water? you need to try to cover that up a little so its not so obvious.

Where did I cover up the land with water? all land is there...it's just black...
And I'm sure you recognise the borders and lands...And look at the original map...my borders aren't that bad...I just made it little interesting to play...And I needed to enlarge some states to be able to put an army circle in it...

Gnome....i'd like to move this to Foundry shortly if we can....you have provided the required grahical updates, and there appears to be support for the map.

Can we see one more version of it with A TITLE please before it moves.

Also.....one thing that you might consider....why have u placed the image of Washington, George on the European side of the Atlantic. He is the father of the USA.

I think the Queen at that time or a French person of the era would look better instead of Washington. It seems it threw me and cairnswk both off.

Wait that original map is from lux, they won't let you do this. I've asked in the past and they said they do not give permission for maps based off of theirs.

The glow of the legend just doesn't suit the rest of the map - which is mostly dark.. I don't like the legend.

The font background too just looks like a bright light-bulb that I want to switch off.

Going to disagree here. I like the glowy, but you could probably turn it down a little. :wink:

In other news...

There is some internal debate about moving you. We are concerned with how your layout matches the delux map almost exactly.

Everything else is different so this may be fine, but we aren't 100% sure.

Once we are we'll let you know. Felt you deserved a heads up as to why you are still in Map Ideas when you seemingly have all the conditions met to get out.
