i know you like to put emblems in the backrounds of maps
and i enjoy looking at them but on this map they don't work (for me)
btw the finished map on page 1 looks fantastic till you have to play on it
i had trouble looking at yellows armies on nurnberg and green and blues armies
in the grey area
i think this has to do with emblems in backround to much happening in the colours and throwing my eye
i really like the map and is one of my favourites for singles
(btw the germany away soccer jesery is green after WW11 no one would play them in a friendly match ireland was the first team to do so and as a thanks they wear green as their away colour, if you needed to add another colour with a meaning although i couldn't see it helping i just thought i'd add that incase it helped)
Thanks for your interest in the map.
Unfortunately, I think I'll have to disagree with most of your post. It seems that you don't like the coats of arms on the map, though this seems like a subjective stylistic preference to me: cleaner map vs. more textured map. Believe me, there's been no shortage of posts regarding those emblems in this thread - about if they should be more visible, less so, or not there at all. But I think we in the end struck a compromise pretty well: they don't detract from visibility (for me) any more than patterns or symbols on other maps do, but they are visible enough to be seen as symbols and not merely clutter.
Though it's still an opinion issue, so I guess we'll wait more some more comments.

I will probably eventually get used to this map but i have the same feeling about this map now that i did when classic went to classic shapes and i feel about as helpless about it as i did about classic as well. Wish there was a choice between using the revamp and the old some of us like to stick to what were used to. Some revamps are great like BI Canada and brazil but this one doesnt rate well with me sorry.
It doesn't look like we'll have the option to choose between maps, as that's been discussed with every revamp and has never become an option. And truthfully, I think if you play the map a bit until you can see it from a more objective point of view, you'll see that it's a bit than a 5-year-old's job.
