Ok. :)
What about nieder - osterreich / wien ? Which one do you think is the best? I'm for change it to wien, but in that case ober-osterreich will look a bit odd, maybe I can change that too and use Linz instead... :-k

Um, why not name the Austrian Throne territory Wien and keep the osterreiches as they are?

Yeah, that looks good.

I didn't realize that Wien is actually the same territory as Austrian throne. The river kinda threw me off there... so yes, the one with Wien/Linz works.

According to Fileden's facebook page, fileden should be safe to use now - google hasn't updated their security list so browsers still show the site as harmful, but it should be safe to enter now.

why Wienn lies on two banks of Danube and Budapest (Tolna and Pest) are two separate regions?

exactly! i thought wien was a separate region with no name. it'll be obvious in a real game bcause there will be no troop count. wien plus linz is good.

preßburg doesn't work because it's real location is where u have nyitra. replacing the nyitra name by preßburg is fine, since preßburg was an important city where hungarian kings were crowned.

i had a look at a map and the most logical division of bohemia is to make sudetes bigger, call it prag and connect it to both the old prag and budweis. make the old prag smaller and call it pilsen, which is the only other major bohemian city. there are already three other countries with railway-track arrangements (all regions are in a single line). this stops bohemia from being a fourth railway-track country. sorry i didn't notice this before!

perhaps swap the colours of transylvania and bosnia with each other, so that the bluer colour is not beside the sea.

np! :) It's 110% better so I updated the map according to your suggestions.
I'll do the xml asap.

About the color, as said earlier, i prefer not to chnage it and take just a note for now, if it comes a large issue during beta I'm ready to change it. ;)

evrything is good and nice :)

just maybe you could divide Wien to two regions (each on the one riverbank).

I'm not keen in doing that change. To be honest, what I'd like to do now is play this map! :mrgreen:

Hi Nobodies my old friend,

I hate to be one of those guys who come in at the end of the map and point out graphical concerns, but I am going to have to do it anyway. They are only small ones but I hope you don't mind me pointing them out.

Firstly, symbols for the thrones I feel need a little something to make them pop out of the map. Like a drop shadow or glow, just so they look a little more integrated into the map. Rather than glued on clip art, if you know what I mean.

Secondly, your rivers are dark blue, like the darker parts of your sea. This gives me the impression that they are as deep as the ocean and thus don't feel like rivers. Would you be resistant to making them a lighter shade of blue, so they feel shallower like a river should.

Again, sorry to be that guy. I would understand if you were resistant to changes like this at this point.

Gimil ! :D
It's really nice to see you here around.
About your suggestions...no worries, I'm really happy that you have some advice for me.
Moreover, all them are small things and won't change gameplay.
I'll try to play a bit more with symbols and rivers asap, we'll see what comes out....

But I'll be away for a week, the next update will take a while.

Nobodies

Oh, btw don't forget to come back here to say me how the next update looks like! ;)
