The problem was caused by a slight change in the territory order in the XML. A corrected version of the XML has been submitted to lackattack, and will be uploaded as soon as he gets it.

Thanks for your patience,

Also, when u attack oxon on the new map, where u select which place u want to attack, it has oxfordshire instead of oxon, and this probably happened to other places as well

Look at the key … Oxon = Oxfordshire

This is a discussion that can take place in the map thread in the Final Forge...

I went from really liking this map, to not wanting to play it. The colors are all washed out. There is little contrast between the lettering and the background. The entire thing is 'whitish.'

The old one was great.

why is the british isles map changed? it was perfect, just for the sake of improving? it looks better but there was nothing wrong, i will miss the old british isles

Havent played on the revamped map, but I love the way it looks

It´s fixed now, and all armies are back to where they are supposed to be.

Thanks.

Moving per MrBenn's request

I agree that it is too pale, but it's not bad when you get the armies on it. It's also easier to tell where the territory borders are than on the old one.

Very nice job!

In case no one has yet mentioned (very long thread), "oxon" is still listed as "oxfordshire" in the xml.

Thats the intention

Honestly, I preferred the old British Isles.

Why Revamp a map that had nothing wrong with it?

Jesus, guys, you don't have to constantly fool with EVERYTHING.

And you wonder why you're losing members....

I think overall more users like the revamp over the original. There's the nostalgia thing to get over, but the old one got many many complaints on how hard it was to tell borders.

I think the Man in the Moon will come down and sing me a song if I just dance harder for him. But that doesn't make it so.
Only British Isles game I'm in right now is a 6 player game, and 4 of us have already commented on not liking the change.
The other two haven't chatted since the change took place. That's a 66.666% disapproval rating so far.

There's already an easy fix to that, clicking "Larger Map".....

honestly, when i first started playing the revamp i was like "AWESOME" but then there were the bugs and i didn't like it but now i really like it

You have to read the key…bottom left corner.

Not that it matters all that much- but I would just like to phone my two cents in and say that I love how the map looks now. British Isles was the first map I learned after Classic and it therefore remains in my top three maps of all time. Though I didn't have a problem with the other version, I love the new version in every way. Not until I saw this work of art did I realize how outdated and messy the original truly was.

Thanks for making one of my favorite maps even better

And comments like this make this all the worth while. Thanks lgoasklucyl!

The new British isles map is not good for me.

The colors are worse than the ORIGINAL British isles (too pale for my taste),
The names are changed and harder to remember,
The boundaries of the territories are more fragmented,...

Maybe everything is more correct and more technically better, but ...

... I URGE YOU TO RETURN THE ORIGINAL MAP

I hate it when people post things like this. They shouldn't. Maybe this topic can be closed?
The revamp is really, really good, gimil. Thank you, well done.

Yeah, how dare someone have an opinion that differs from yours. What arrogance!

I have to agree.. They have ruined the british isle map and next there going to destroy the germany map..

It's got nothing to do with arrogance. It's all about respect.
gimil has been on this revamp for over a year. The topic has been here for the whole time aswell. And the map wasn't quenched before all discussions were cleared up. If he hates this map so bad, first of all he should have come here to comment on the drafts. And now that it's quenched he's too late and pissed about it. That's not the way to go.
I don't mind people having a different opinion. But you could come here and say
