Def referring to Colima

Is it something that needs fixing (and if so, how?)?
Or is it fine?

It looks fine to me. Colima does not have a port symbol, it has a line. I doubt very many people will be confused. The fact that this one person used the word "bogus" in block caps doesn't mean it is a serious flaw in the map (or even a flaw at all). The only "solution" I can see, if one were needed, would involve serious distortion of the borders so that the Colima label could fit in the region.

Sorry for the late nitpicks but can you change "Valle del Anahuac" to "Valle de Anahuac" MrBenn?
Other thing that changed from version 5 to beta is the junction indicated by the blue arrow:

For geographic acurracy it should change from:

To:

4-way borders are a no-no in map design, Fumando. Geographic accuracy must be fudged at times to improve gameplay clarity.

Indeed, I 101% agree.

Although I could drop a mountain in there if necessary?

Could work. Topography there shows 3000 m above sea level:

Quintana Roo is currently misspelled as "Quintina" in both the graphics and XML.

Have the ports all been changed to neutrals?

That's bad for team play isn't it? The ports made things interesting - now, no one's going to take them.

The ports give a bonus and quick access up and down the coasts. I think people will still take them.

Not gonna happen in most games if you ask me.

Giving +3 for 5 ports instead of coding neutrals could help to avoid drop bonuses and keep the appeal of the ports imo.

love the map, just wish monterrey could have been included somehow.. its one of the laRgest cities in north america.

but other than that top notch and great work
