Well, I don't like the Braveheart photo
I think of the red dragon as distinctly Welsh, rather than more generally Celtic
, but it is popularly supposed to have been the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders.
so I am not real hot for any of these changes.
And #4... do I need to say anything about #4?

The problem with the red dragons is, that all of the rest of your map has an overall cold colour scheme - dominantly blue with tones of green, some gray. The warm red creates a contrast which draws too much attention to the dragons - since they are a supposed to be a decoration, and are not part of the playable area and do not convey any important information, they should not draw so much attention, they should fade to the background... as they are now, even muted, they look like they kinda don't belong.
If you really want the dragons on, I'd suggest trying to make them blend in with the map better. You could try adjusting the hue a few degrees towards blue, or perhaps decreasing the opacity so it blends with the blue background a bit...

You do realize that if you could use that, Mel Gibson would be after you.... scary, I know.
Eh... muted it fits better, but I don't see the the need for the dragons at all. How about some druids?
The idea of the double dragon and your placement of it is awesome for me.
lets face it, this map has a lot of green.
What if you made the dragon and shade of green or preferably blue that would compliment the map more without drawing unnecessary attention to? I think a bluish grey would go well...
That's exactly why I felt the need to add some Red. Red is the on the opposite end of the color spectrum from Green, therefore it's supposed to be a good match. Like Christmas colors.

Actually, that depends on what colour system you use. In substractive colour systems (eg. painting, printing/CMYK) that use red, yellow and blue as primary colours, you are correct. However in additive colour systems (computer graphics, TV, light) which use red, green and blue as primary colours, they are not - instead the opposite colour for red is cyan and the opposite colour for green is purple.
In the colour temperature theory, colours from red to green are considered warm, while colours from green to blue are considered cold. Both green and purple can be warm or cold, depending on the tone.
Carry on...
