The uniform black text is distracting, the legend could use some improvement in looks, and as noted by others the castles, walls, and bridges look cheap. Also, could you get a different resource other than "Walruses"? That's so downright weird I don't know what to say.

I like humor, humor is funny. We should go back to penguins, I thought that was hilarious once I finally noticed them.
Oh, and maybe there could be a whale resource in the river! That would not only be totally awesome, but it would give a reason to hold the fishing boats without land connections!

One gameplay note: since the fishing boats can all attack each other, the ones that don't have land connections become kind of useless, no? I think either you should get rid of those, or simply have fishing boats be normal territories.

Now that you have a more realistic landscape, your wall and castles look kind of out of place.
The bonuses are a little confusing. It looks like all of them are negatives, but it is hard to tell if they are dashes or negatives. maybe write it like this [-1] or (-1) or make the "-1" a different color.
FB2, 4, 6, and 7 dont connect to any land so they serve no purpose in the game. I understand that if you start there you can take another boat, but no one will want to conquer them after the first turn. Maybe you could add some kind of bonus for holding them and a fish market or something
What is that around Tray village?
I might just be nit-picking now but the borders dont look amazing....
Anyway, the map is looking great , and these are just some thoughts- take 'em or leave 'em

Around Trey Village... is that an impassable wall/border? (mountains?). It just looks like the terrain color got a bit darker. (just read part of the thread. apparently its a steep hill, but its still confusing. You should make it more.... impassable-looking.... i guess)
On the oasis, its just a blue smudge (water?). Try making it look more like a lake (even edges, sloped sides, etc.)bryguy wrote:also some of u guys have ur users as territ names
