C'mon, you had to know that if you said you weren't going to use it, someone would say they like it and want you to use it. That was just reverse psychology, right?

Just a small remark, from a person coming from the region.
The island south of Sweden where im coming from is called Bornholm its a part of Denmark, but when it is so far from the rest of the country it would be nice if it had its own region.
otherwise nice work, im looking forward to playing the map

Map looks much better with regions. I like it. It's not geographically correct as you know, but it's just about how good it can get.
Just a few small things:
- I think it looks weird with all the regions and suddenly the city BodĆø pops out as a large area. I suggest you put those 2 regions together and called them Nordland, and instead use the group of islands as a region of it's own and name it Lofoten. It makes more sense.
- Trondelag should be named TrĆøndelag.
- The Swedish issue about Gƶtalanden. Why not just call it Gƶtaland as it was proposed. That's even a name I've heard before. I think it's illogical to find up an ending on your own. I would be pissed if you'd call TrĆøndelag 'TrĆøndelagene' for example.
Good luck with the rest of the work!

1) I really do not like the texture... it kind of reminds me of the pattern on my ceiling. I'd suggest seeing how it looks without texture as the glow from the countries might be enough already. Or try, perhaps, some grainier paper as an under layer.
2) I think you're going to have to redress your borders some so that more names fit in the territories.
3)Hmm... mountains are impassable. I didn't realize there were mountains until I read about them. Make them stand out a little more.
4) I'd suggest using some different fonts and experimenting. In having a duel color font I think you might be cramming too much into too small of a space.
Industrial Helix wrote:As you like I suppose. It's not going to get through the graphics workshop without altering some of the borders, I had the same problems with my maps.
As for adding lakes, ect. I think it might be a decent idea and worth going for. Finland has a lot of lakes, from what I recall. Can't say about Sweden or Norway. And I think southern mountains might be a decent idea as well.
natty_dread wrote:Well, I couldn't decide where to put impassables in finland... Any suggestions? Which would be best spots, gameplay-wise? No worries if there's no real lakes or rivers there, I can just plant a forest there or something...
Anyway, new mountains: how do these look?

Yes, we have lots of lakes... Finland is actually known as "the land of the 1000 lakes"...
