The map is very confusing. There are a lot of "this place can only attack these specific places" Problem is you have to explain them all somewhere.

Also, I was under the impression the mainland was argentina, yet they have separate bonuses, and you also put fighter jets there. Plus, the legend should be colour coordinated with the continents so we know exactly where the bonus comes from.

It seems as if many places do not have bonuses green, red, both greys and others do not have any attack routes yet?

I don't think the white text is working. Still having a hard time reading it.

The legend is very simple and doesnt need to be colour co-ordinated..By mainland i mean Falklands, after all the map is named after the place!

Im trying to keep the map free of confusing attack lines as can been seen in other Maps...Espically Maps with warships and fighter jets. The Mainl nad countries can only attack each but the they do have a very important stepping stone (RED ISLAND ), which will become very important for defense and attack...
I don't think the white text is working. Still having a hard time reading it.

I agree about the text..Any coulor you might suggest....Black and white have already been tried , So we do start to get limited on the choices we can have!!! Do think a different FONT might help?

I think that you can solve problem with letters, just put shadows. and i think that sea must be much better then now,without these texture,and more darken. :wink:

ok Qwert thank you...I will try the shadows.

When you say the texture do you mean change the sea completely or just make the sea darker?

it looks like a cool map, but the textures need to be turned down a lot. also i think that argentinia needs to be green, or at least something other than blue.

Textures are way over the top and the territory names need a spell check :)

Idea is good though.

the legend its not very clear to me, try making some attack routes between the islands and island-ship, it would help for better understanding.

im havin trouble understanin the way that the ships work but an idea 2 clear that up is 2 put the ships on one side of the west side of the map and make it the mainland and ship areas circular paths 2 get 2. and there is one way from the western island 2 get there. im familiar with this engangement so im very proud someone wants 2 do it
