Since for the purposes of this map, Ireland is treated as one big continent, singling out northern ireland in some capacity seems like it would be confusing. And again, graphics and gameplay trump real-world political issues and naming conventions. Somehow I doubt anyone's going to look at this map and think that the troubles have somehow been ironed out since one gets a bonus for holding the whole island.

this map is now being revamped and it hsa unique chance to be revamped correctly. Having NI as part of EIRE is like having Canada as part of the USA!!

It should either be done correctly or not at all!

Now im not saying dont include with the bonus of EIRE. Im just asking for it to be shown in some capacity that is part of England!

neither is scotland or wales, IT will not be removed from te IRELAND bonus, but i am trying my best to split them visually without making confusion.

But it's not a map with exclusively political divisions. That was the issue I had with the flags: continents need to be uniform within themselves and differentiated from each other. Thus having northern ireland stand out somehow from the rest of ireland, even tho it's all one continent, would be just as bad of an idea as having the three england continents share the same flag backdrop.
