Point noted. If 1.11e wins the poll I will make that change.

If you want to add texture try to use google earth image as grey trasparent shade but for christ sake do use those plaster effects they are just awful

No, I don't think that's the way to go. We are not talking about the main country here but the surrounding areas which honestly are not important in my opinion.
Besides why should I use google earth if the style of the map is not oriented that way? It would contrast with the style used for Luxembourg itself.

1.11d is the one I voted for but any of the textures need to be a little less intense to work.

Define intense.
Does that mean subtle like Zeak said?

Ruben,
I've gone for 11e - I think it is the most understated of the options - and the texture should be exactly that, understated and subtle.
On another note, the border of Lux. City is in a different style from the other regions, and should probably be amended.
I'm not convinced that Ardennes and Letzeberg are both worth +3 - Letzeberg is pretty impossible to hold, and I'd be tempted to up it to +4.
The whole map is going to be pretty open, although I think the strongest area is going to be Ardennes... it has +3, and can be defended by two terrs. If you get a drop there with Troisvierges, then without crappy dice, I'd imagine you're going to be hard to beat.
How many neutrals do you envisage starting on Lux. City - I'm imagining a standard 3?

Ben all these points have been addressed in previous posts. Check them out mate.
As a small recap the bonus for Letzebuerg was 4 before but got reduced to 3 after much debate. Lux City gets 3 neutrals, there was a poll on this as well.

Since the poll was so close I decided to go a way in between 1.11a and 1.11d. I made the texture of 1.11d more subtle.
Version 1.12

Yes, it's a nice alternative. But I think I'm going to stick with the original.

nice map mate!
small advice: why not make Lëtzebuerg +4, its central, 4 terr to defend, the person who actually gets it and can cash in with it next turn should be in a win situation already.

texture is good and I like Unit_2's idea
I still say that border makes no sense (you know which one). But, at the least a 'Luxembourg City is not part of the Letzebuerg bonus' line is needed if you don't change the border.

There was a poll about the neutral units on Luxembourg City and it was decided that they should be 3.
I don't want to change the Luxembourg flag cause I like it as it is using a different style from the rest.

I have one small question, why didn't you take advantage of the possibilities of adding banks, to add a new bonus. (Also Luxembourg city should be neutral at start.)

No not every country because someone has already done Scotland, Portugal, Italy, etc! :p
