I will be going back to colors.
My next update will be packed full of fixes etc.

I understand you did that to differentiate between the 3 different countries. I think it was better if you used a different line to show country borders. Benelux map is a good example.greenoaks wrote:the legend is too packed to make out the bonuses without a struggle
I totally agree with that comment. I couldn't figure out the bonus for the two west Latvia bonus areas. I don't know if the number is on top\bottom of the bonus name or left right. (And by the way West Latvia has 5 territs with 4 bordering other bonus territs. I think 2 or even 3 bonus is too low. maybe isolate one of the terrirts by impassable border)greenoaks wrote:[*]where in the world is the Baltic States
[*]what is the blue blob on the left
maybe if you write Baltic sea on the blob that will help eliminate some of the confusion. The name of the countries in the map are hidden in the bonus name. If you wish to keep all map in single color you need to better display the names so people will understand these are real countries. maybe add the flags...
Also, I think a capitals bonus for holding the 3 capitals will be nice. (the last two suggestion also came from BeNelux map that had the same idea)
Other comment:
The East side of the map has completely passable. I think you should add some impassible to add to gameplay. I suggest to use the two Rivers Daugava that runs thru Latvia (and you use part of it already) and Namunas that runs thru Lithuania to add some impassables. (bridges will need to be added some rivers can be passed in some places)

still some comments
- I didn't see a response from you on my flags suggestion that will help people with lesser Geographic knowledge, these are three countries. An alternate option is to use a shaded font over the country area stating the names. (I'll respect a response saying you don't see an added value there )
- I want to hear about the logic behind the bonus you put. NO. Lit and SO. Lat are both 3 territories in very similar location, but one gets bonus of 3 and the other 2. Cent Est and We. Lat both have 5 territs which 4 border outside territs, but the 1st have bonus of 4 and the later has bonus of 3. I also think islands should yield a bonus of 1 comparing to the other bonuses of 2 which look much more harder to defend

Only thing I would change at this point is to make the font a little smaller so not so many province names overflow their borders.
Added the names of Russia, Poland and Belarus

While some of us have great vision other people do not, so with that in mind I have to keep some size or else the small version will be really hard to read for some people.

I need to be a Geo Nerd here and point out that the place you put the name "Poland" is actually the Kaliningrad Oblast and belongs to Russia.
Poland name should be between the Word "Impassable" and the province of Druskinimkai
I love the way this map is going. Good Job!

One thing while I'm here:
The grid you have on top of everything looks a little uncomfortable. Like it needs to be a darker colour (near black) and set the layer mode to overlay or something.
