Victor Sullivan wrote:Okay, I lied. I do have 1 nitpick: Could you have the colors of the fancy capital letters in the legend match (color-wise) better with their corresponding bonus areas? They are rather dark in comparison.
Why insist on English names for the bonus regions?
Why not just get rid of the English altogether?
You already have the native names on the map, so why not just use them?
the idea is to show both. I want to use the English names Primarily for familiarity and simplicity but also show the the Gaelic names for Cultural and historical relevance. That's the best way I thought to do it.
And another thing, this map is of the modern day situation, so why use the names Loegria and Gaul? When those names were used, they were inhabited by Celtic peoples, and thus wouldn't have been excluded from this map.
Until the 2nd century BC The Celts lived across the whole of central and western Europe. Around the reign of Julius Caeser the Romans began to push the Celts out of mainland Europe, until they were limited to the fringes of western Europe and the Islands of Great Britain and Ireland. Later in AD times the Normans invaded great Britain and pushed the Celts out of the heart of the Island. The only areas left with a Celtic cultural presence became known as the Celtic 7 Nations.

It absolutely is NOT of the modern day situation. Galicia isn't a country, Brittany's part of France, and Cornwall's part of England.

The Bison King wrote:Gaul is what the Romans called that region, you might have something with Loegria though since that is a caltic name for that region, but I figured from an early celtic point of view they may have still called that region that even after it was inhabited by the Normans.
The Romans called it Gallia. Loegria is Latin though, as the british (celts) would have said Logres.

Then wouldn't that be fine? If I called Gaul Gallia and England Loegria. That way I'm still using the Roman names for both regions, but shouldn't Brittania also be acceptable?
The only nitpick I've got is the fancy capital letters you have for the bonus names. While a nice idea, I think the level of detail for something of that size is more than getting lost.
