[Official] British Isles REVAMP [Quenched]

[gimil]

I'm still more concerned with Glos and Chesire bordering each other...

That makes me far too close to Manchester for my liking!

whats not to like.

[gimil]

and whilst Central England is used to refer to The Midlands, the latter is much ore widely used. Please use East and West Midlands as sugested by a few people now...

southern englands getting a rework

[gimil]

Great Britian and Ireland will do, I wanted british isles to try and keep the map in the same place in game finder. But nevermind.

As for the montains ive changed them.

[I GOT SERVED]

I know this has been said before, but rework the mountains. They're down right hideous.

Also, I'd like to see a wall graphic for where Hadrain's Wall is. That'd be cool.

ive already mentioned that ill reork the mountains, and ill put a nice little wall graphics in at some point.

New suggestions:

Make North and South whatever be on two lines, so the words don't spill out of the country.

Take the location inset and move it to the upper left and also make it smaller, unless you're going to put some sort of crest or symbol or whatever up there, in that case, just make the inset smaller.

The British Isles are as far as I know Great Britain and Ireland.

So lets move ona nd get to work. First thing is that Northern Irealnd is not and will never be part of EIRE! if this map is goingt o be accurate, as i think you wish it to be then you need to make the changes it that area! You could also try and imagine a unique bonus scheme for that highly specal provinve of Great Britiain!

Northern Ireland is not a province - it constitutes a portion of the province of Ulster. It is now and always will be part of Éire, as Éire is the name of the island as a whole. If you are referring to what the future holds for this politically sensitive region you must have no knowledge of what was contained in the 1997 good Friday Agreement and the latest population and ethnicity projections for the region.

All i know rebel is that my sister served in Northern Ireland and it is part of the United Kingdom! Ireland is not and will never be part of the United Kingdom. We can play with words and sorts, but the fact of the matter is that Northern Ireland is her Majesty's people!

while i understand the concept of the old artwork being retained but the territories being renamed, let's see what gimil can do with the graphics. we can always vote down the revamp if we all think that the old map is superior. the double names are useful at the moment to let us see why some territories are a strange shape. i’m sure they’ll morph into something less unwieldy by the time the shape of each has been finalised.

below is my concept of where to draw the borders in southern england (plus lancashire) to produce identical gameplay together with geographical accuracy and the least strange-shaped territories. thanks to yeti_c for the political map on page 8. gimil, is this list of any help to u?

kent
isle of wight
home counties south (currently "sussex and hampshire"): surrey, sussex and hampshire
home counties north (currently "oxfordshire"): oxfordshire, berkshire, buckinghamshire, hertfordshire, middlesex and bedfordshire
london and essex (currently "london")
cambridgeshire and suffolk (currently "essex and cambridgeshire")
norfolk (currently "east anglia")
lincolnshire
east midlands (currently "central england"): derbyshire, nottinghamshire, leicestershire, rutland and northamptonshire
west midlands or west mercia (currently "cheshire"): shropshire, staffordshire, warwickshire, herefordshire and worcestershire
gloucestershire
lancashire and cheshire (currently "lancashire")

Keep British Isles.

Great Britain is Mainland Britain (England, Scotland, Wales)
The UK is England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Island.
The British Isles, is Great Britain and Ireland (and so contains all of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland).

I like the look of this map!

I've read through the thread, and looked at the latest map, and have couple of observations/thoughts:

Gwert should be GWENT

Wiltshire could be renamed AVON (I think this is an alternative name for Bath and Wilts., but not too sure!)

I have a vested interest in Sussex, and where you've got Hampshire (previously Hampshire and Sussex), you could call this area SOUTH COAST.

You could use GLOUCS. instead of Gloucestershire, and LINCS. instead of Lincolnshire

Like other posters, I think you should use MIDLANDS instead of Central England

Somebody mentioned earlier about having Northern/Southern Highlands break onto 2 lines - I think this would look better - probably the same with North/South Leinster

Where you've got the map title, 'The British Isles/and the Peoples Republic of Ireland', how about 'The British Isles:/Great Britain and Ireland'

[gimil]

MrBenn thank you for your input, i will take everything you said into consideration for the next update.
