Hi,
Hope I'm not barging in too late here...
I've played two games on this map and have high regard for the graphics and style. Also the bonuses system is cool. I have some serious misgivings, though, about some of the borders:
(a) The navies seem to play no real part in 2-player games. They are connected only to one territory and apparently start neutral (do they really? maybe it was just a fluke in my 2 games). So one doesn't bother about them and they just hang there.
(b) For similar reasons, I never got around to doing anything with the Rome inset. It's just too much trouble and not worth it.
One more thing: the convention by which province names written outside the provinces themselves is not very convenient. One gets used to it but it doesn't quite feel right.
Overall though, nice map. There is huge potential here.
