Is the Edirne/Constantinople arrow necessary?
How are we on bonuses?? Any other concerns from the Foundry?
And visually I agree with that bit about the star not suggesting ports... maybe instead of making it port-like, you came up with something entirely British looking, since they are British ports? Some kind of British naval insignia? Crown?

on the small map, the army looks a pixel too high in british kuwait.
Also, I'm wondering if perhaps there isn't a more elegant solution to having the "port" icon so far away from the name and army circle for anglo-egyptian sudan. Does the port really need to be there in the first place? That area's already pretty lousy with ports.

Akbah was OK. It was Port Sudan that was smaller and missing it's drop shadow. Fixed. Please F5

Are you sure Akbah is okay on the large? It looks so much smaller than the others...

British Kuwait is really busy - you can't even see the land under there anymore. Maybe pull the army circle off the land entirely and just float it over the territory name?
I like the crowns, but the color doesn't seem to fit the map's overall palette. (Says the colorblind gameplay guy!)
