The new crowns look good cairns. They fit the color palette well. They blend in but are easily noticed as well. God job.

As far as army circles go I think it is ok. You could move the crown on Cyprus a bit tot eh left and move the 88 left as well. Plus you could make the island a bit bigger (I don't think this map is going for actual sized accurate geography.

You could also do the same for Beirut. Make the sea border move left and widen the country a bit. Maybe?

Crowns look a lot better now.

Would you mind enlarging your signature? It is very hard to read at the moment.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the colours of the italian colony and the hussain of mecca are too similar and since they are close to each other on the map, maybe a change is in order. Also the top left side of the arch (just right of the title) looks empty, maybe put your signature there? (or on the right, moving whatever that logo thats on the right currently to the left.

Italian Abyssina has the purple line that is at the edge of the territory near the red sea moved in slightly into the territory away from it's edge. Mostly visible on the large map, and only in a few places on the small one.

[nitpick]
It's not the same thing, but Trabzon's coastal border seems to be somewhat erased, or just skinnier than the others.
It wouldn't hurt to have the middle one of the Nile's delta (the one shaped like a Y within the bigger Y) connect to the overall Y better.
I'd like to see you add the line from Beirut to the tert on the large map. Without it it's, well, :?
[/nitpick]

This is looking great, cairns!

Woah... why is Europe worth 2? It is only 2 territories.

Secondly, Constantinople name needs to be moved closer to the territory, and the line connecting the name to the territory is missing on the large map.

Thirdly, Trabzon appears to be a different color from the rest of the continent, was this intentional?

Fourthly, there is a little tip of a black line showing in Adana (where the shoreline changes direction, the line to distinguish between the sea and land continues for a few pixels.

Fifthly, Kutais-Batum to Erzurum border has a little dark splotch.

Crimea and Terek. Those two definitely look different in terms of the text.

Beiruit has no dark green near the borders, not sure if they is for visibility, or a mistake.

The line that connects Alexandria to the territory extends a different amount on the small and large maps.

Yerevan name could be moved down a pixel or two.

Don't see anything else.

Coz' it's got 3 borders and one of them is a one way from a large power....nobody seemed to mind that bonus.
Hussein of Mecca is 3 terts with two borders and it's got 2 also.

Secondly, Constantinople name needs to be moved closer to the territory, and the line connecting the name to the territory is missing on the large map.

Done.

no. it's the same colour, just doesn't have the middle creamish glow.

Fourthly, there is a little tip of a black line showing in Adana (where the shoreline changes direction, the line to distinguish between the sea and land continues for a few pixels.

Fixed.

Fifthly, Kutais-Batum to Erzurum border has a little dark splotch.

Fixed

Crimea needed bolding. Fixed.

Beiruit has no dark green near the borders, not sure if they is for visibility, or a mistake.

Fixed....length of inner glow

The line that connects Alexandria to the territory extends a different amount on the small and large maps.

Fixed.

Fixed.
