The text feels kind of blurry can you sharpen it? Great map! and the swords still look fuzzy...

and the swords still look fuzzy...

I think the text is fine.

Cairns, did you know that the swords are blurry?
Yeah, I kinda just wanted to see what a "bloody nana" was
Really, this map is looking good. I can't quite wrap my head around the gameplay (as in, whether the bonuses are appropriate or not), but I think this should be in the main foundry now where eyes better than mine can pick it apart for gameplay.

I like the rearrangement of the legend a lot. I'm not crazy about the title/legend font, though. To me it looks more Arabic than Caribbean. You could probably find something better, but this is a relatively minor issue.

OK, so some of my niggles have been addressed... but the priority absolutely has to be getting some analysis of the gameplay... Cairns, you know your thoughts and the map better than anybody else... what's your opinion?

[sailorseal]

Just looking at it, it's kind of dull looking... (I mean colors not game play)

since this is not standard bonus structure, there is no need for colored regions. i quite like the way it looks, it looks like a physical map of the island

sailorseal....as a good contribution to the mapping foundry at large, it has been mentioned many times before on various other map threads that when one makes a comment, if someone doesn't like something, it would be very helpful and indeed a positive if the commenter would make some suggestion as to what they would like to see. Please don't hesitate to say so with your colours challenge.
Currently the colours will be heading towards

but gameplay has to be sorted out first, and indeed if you notice the thread topic which mentions "Gameplay???" you might see that i require comments on Gameplay.....(hint hint) please pretty please

Do the ports connect via dotted lines? If so, wouldn't I, as Bristol, just have to win 6v3,3 (port maria, st. ann's bay), then possibly another 3 (liverpool) to eliminate someone? Not saying it's a smart move, nor probable, but it could happen.

I have a few comments for the map right now, and i really like how it is coming

One thing i think you should change is the size of some of the icons, Specifically the cobs and the coffee, i would just make them a little bit bigger.

Maybe i haven't read enough of this and it is not that important, but why are there giant 3's in the army circles. Shouldn't there be 88's if anything.

That's all I have for now, I like this map a lot

There will be 3 neu there.

The baccy in Marlle and Maroon Town is almost invisible.

OK. do we need to bump the ports up to 5 neutral?

I'd say so, but in a 5+p game nothing would happen in the first round. That might not really be a bad thing, though. Just delay the game 1 round. 4neu?

Right now I'm thinking about London … does it have a disadvantage? I mean, the resources are there, and it does have that roue to Galleon Harbor and P. Morant, but that's an extra 3 neutrals to get through just to be one territory away from being adjacent to another ship …

Is the Church its own territory?

One idea for game play would be to have an auto-deploy on the home ports(the places where the people start), like a 3 person auto deploy. Or you could have a 3 or 4 person bonus, for each home port, which each player would get automatically

if this is already in the map, sorry i re-said it

4 is OK also, but if it is a 5, some players might have better luck than others with the dice and this might also cause a slight advantage for some players.

doesn't London have an advantage of not being attacked straight away as you stated above.
if london having that advantage, then perhaps GH and PM need to be lowered as far as neutrals go?

Is the Church its own territory?

yes. should there be a bonus surrounding that?
