Yeah, it's a sticky now and it won't be that for much longer. Anyway, it's a good thing, but I could take it away if you want. :wink:

I have no problems with it. It may even draw people to the tread so they can vote and get rid of this virtual stalemate.

It doesn't feel dulled down to me at all. If you put them side by side, they almost look the same.


The problem is that there are tons of varying colours in the map. It makes the map look messy. There's no cohesion.

I like this map idea. All it needs is more neutral territories.

I wanted there to be a lot of contrast between ddifferent kingdoms and continants but i've made a couple of suggestions to Tel to see if we can try a different method.

Interesting, you do realise every territory except four for each player will be neutral?

On a side note, when you bump...state a reason for doing so. Otherwise people will just see a bump, and won't know what to post about.

Post a reason with your bump, and you'll get more feedback. And plus, just 'bumps' are rude. :)

Quite a few errors in Scandinavia:

Denmark did not hold Norway in 1080.. they lost Norway even before they lost England.

Denmark never held Gotaland/Gothland.. only the southwestern part of the peninsula; Skaneland.

i like the map, but i do not like the small symbols at all, and the bombardements don't make any sence at all to me, like they had any missiles or anything that could attack all the way from brittian to tripoli, come on.. i think you should leave the bombardements out

Well if you have symbols in all countries I think the oldest country in the Europe should not be exception!

Uhh, as the top of the map sais, I'm afraid this map has been struck down by it's sheer size. We have it about as small as we can get and it only just fits the size required for a large map (my fault I'm afraid)

As for innacuracies, I'm afraid these were unavoidable, we needed every kingdom of equal size for the map to be even, and this means many areas have had to be lumped in with the most powerfull kingdom of the aria. Other nations (portugal being one) have had to be left as neutrals as they were too small to be made into four territs.

As for the bombardments, they are meant to represent the crucades, but making the links attack routes would put nations like egypt at too much of a disadvantage.
