UPDATE 26

no, i dont think you understood what i was saying.
your original army shadows were a lot better- you could still see the colour of the map. the current shadows are grey placed on top of the map. if you really want shaped army shadows then take the original ones and give them shape.
syr if im not being clear im in a hurry.

need to make it clear that in my point of view both with circles and without is better than shaped circles but in theory they are a good idea for another map

sorry, but i don't like the figure of shields for the armies. I think I prefere cirkels.

put some lines connecting each name to the island / territory they actually represent

Looking good. You could probably give some army shadows a little more space. You could move Markizaat and Maaskant army shadows down slightly, and De Peel army shadow up. If you move the text of Oost-Vlaanderen and Vlaams Ardennen closer to their shared border you will have more room for your army shadows in those territories. You have room to move the text and army shadow in Vlaams up a little.

Thuin has some black pixels on the edge of the army shadow.

It's looking nice Marval!

A few minor things:
As someone noted earlier, the mountains seem a little odd and out of place in this map...at least once you compare the graphic theme you have going in the map as a whole. The mountains feel 3D almost, while the river and monarchy border feel 2D and flat, you know? I'm not entirely sure how you can rework these to make them fit better, I'll have to give it some thought, but it's something to consider.

Perhaps consider moving the Letzebuerg name slightly to the left, so it is more centered underneath the army shadow of its respective country. Don't want people somehow confusing it with Schengen.

For the Capitals Legend, maybe bold the 'Control of...' to make it stand out a little more, perhaps the same for the wording 'non-crossing...' etc.

Lastly, your signature feels a little blurry. But as that is more of your personal preference (as the size is fine by my book) you can do what you like there.

Keep up the good work! Whenever you've got the XML, I'd like to see the Small and Large maps with the army coordinates centralized.

Thanks for the suggestions.

It's a very nice map, and I'm very exited to start playing it. Just a couple of things, one, the large version feels a little small for a large, normally the large maps are substantially bigger. Two, I'm not sure the bonus for west-nederland is entirely fair. sure you can drop it down to five borders with control of markizaat, but thats still five borders for six armies.

About the large map, nevermind, i thought the one up on the page was the large version. That, and I'm not really sure about the white continent anymore... I really just want to see this map quenched, this one's my favorite, and promises great playability.

I'm still working on the XML and my two tournaments costs also a lot of time.
But I hope I can fixed the XML soon.

And thanks for your support.
