I agree, as it took me a second to identify the "Indies 3" as the bonus. At least, with a color splotch it would look more like a bonus.

However that is really not gameplay clarity anymore, as it wasn't confusing, just a little off. So on to graphics I say!

Congratulations Tisha, it looks to be a worthy map of the new Supersize breed, indeed. =D>

I'm not sure if my eyes are just deceiving me, but the land borders in the Indies inset look a bit thicker & sharper than the rest of the map... especially compared to N. Meso-America.

I'd also recommend moving the Chorotega label a bit to the right so that it won't need to be twisted - it looks nice and contributes to the page curl effect, but it makes the territory name kinda hard to read. Also, the Paya label could be moved down a bit, to separate it from the text in the Indies inset.

Well, a darker colour can make a line look thicker ;)

I don't like the writing underneath Cuba. I find it distracting, I suggest removing it.

The paper that has the Indies on it, can you fix it so that it looks like it is "under" the south america paper. Right now it looks like it is on top and underneath all at the same time.

You should be able to make the papers look more like they're stacked by variegating the shadow slightly; the shadow should be slightly larger on the Northern map - something like this example... see how the shadow changes depending on which other 'layer' it's falling upon:

-lightened the borders on the Indies to make natty_dread shut up (:
-paper shadows like MrBenn
-moved the Nina Cariri route to the right a tiny bit.
-no gun or reins on the horse.

Nice!

One small thing. Now that the North part doesn't have the title visible, I wonder if you should just remove it from the south part as well? I mean, some people might be confused seeing two titles on the map, but only one of them is the real title... :?
