i must say that Name Constantinople is correct,and that these whas capital of Ottoman empire from 1453-1922.

It was officially renamed to its modern Turkish name Istanbul in 1930[

for the most part, everything is better.

I think you know some borders are still weird. armenia mostly.

the colours still are a problem for me. not the actual colours themselves but how you've spread them in the territories. If you compare Gallipoli and Andrianople, you'll see the contrast I'm talking about. this occurs throughout the map and I don't think it looks good.

another problem is that armenia on the legend on the map don't appear to have the same colour. I think the problem I talked about above contributes to this.

gameplay:

syria is worth more than +3. 5 territories and each are a border territory. it touches 5 continents and is attackable from 7 territories. +5 is probably more apt.

I might consider giving hussein of mecca +1 instead of +2

i really like the color changes in the legend, and like i said earlier, like the bonus changes. keep up the good work

Thanks greatly Cdkutusu
Please realize that the reference maps i used...there were several versions of some names and Kars was shown in most of them as being in Russian hands -> it also makes for good gameplay to have it this way.
I will adjust the map to include the Turkish names, but should i use Turkey or Anatolia.

In Turkish, Turkey (Turkiye) is the whole country, European side and Asian side together, Anatolia (Anadolu) is the Peninsula only. So in this version it looks correct, since you use it for the Asian side only

Yes expect the colours to undergo a change in some way, i am just waiting on oaktown to visit to give his color-blind slant on these before making the changes.

That would be good

i had said in previous comments that the Vilayet statement would probably be removed, but i could leave it there with your suggestion.

I guess you can remove them, since they don't mean anything significant (almost every location you put had Vilayet status back in time

) and it would just complicate the map

Thanks again.

Not at all

Oh and about Constantinople, it was not used inside Ottoman Empire. We were calling it Istanbul as far as I remember.

Keep up the good work

May just be me but the seas are kinda looking like territories at the moment. They seem raised and the colour/texture/something gives it a feel of conquerability rather than water.

Think they should be dark?

I like the colors a lot better now too! Especially the water.

O SYRIA and H. of MECCA are a little too similer for my personal tastes, but you can tell them apart, so I can live with it.
But I still hate the bonuses.

I can't quit be certain though.... GELIBOLU isn't connected to BURSA is it? They don't look like it, I think...

Anyway nice job with the colors!
