Make you a deal, once the XML is written and we can create ramonly palced armys with random numbers we'll come back to this discussion. I dont think we can make a great judgement with "88" with similar army colours on certain continets.
Deal?

I dont even think you know what desaturate means

2. And the second line of the quotation might look better if you centered it by moving it a little bit to the right.

It makes it less colorful, and more gray So that that the blue numbers dont blend in too much

No.

why?
i mean it's either "the ignorants fight" or "the ignorant fights"
since the first part is at plural i supposed the second part should also be at plural, hence "the ignorants fight"
i'm not a perfect english speaker so i may be wrong but at least i'd like to know why i'm wrong

Aha. I always thought so.
You mean that only 50 million people (the English) out of the hundreds of millions of people who speak English as a first language (like USA, Australia, Canada, NZ, etc) know the rules!? That explains many things! :p I guess that's why Gimil who's a Scot makes so many mistakes then!

A. Graphics.
not much to say here. it looks very good. crisp fresh simple nice colours, in short, i like it.
however there are minor things i'd like to see improved:
1. you have 3 small legends of the continents. green has green text. that's good. but blue has black text while red has both red and black text. i think you should keep it consistent and make all the legends like the green one.
2. the rivers seem a bit pixelated especially around the bends. might wanna soften them up a bit. also i'd like to see some affluents (sp?) on those rivers to make them a bit more realistic
3. add a full stop at the end of the sentence. and perhaps the author.
B. Gameplay.
1. fist thing i noticed is the overpowered north. now i understand you wanted realism but that realism will kinda make the map be screwy. you don't see africa on classic map getting a +1 bonus and north america a +10 just because usa has a much better economy and army even if that would be realistic
waht i would do is add a one way connection from Yin Ping to liang. this will not only make Ling be harder to hold but it will also make the whole northern area harder to hold.
2. bei ping. 2 terits for a +1. not sure if i like it. the chances of getting that bonus right from the start are pretty big and i wouldn't want to face an opponent who gets such an easy bonus immediately. what i would do is add another terit. perhaps call it bei ping east. and keep the same 2 borders the continent has now. or do like wisse did on china and make one of the terits start as neutral. but i'd rather see 3 terits instead on adding a neutral.
3. i would increase central wei from 5 to 6.

my main source for the above changes is this map, which shows the position in ad 229, when hepu had been split into two commanderies for a short period.
