Ok, it's good but there are a few problems.

First of all, it looks a bit square. Also if you're going to put in a river, don't put a black line under it as it makes it look bad. ;) Also keep the names centered on there place, it might be too small.

As for GAmeplay, I'm not sure, as of now. ;)

For the square comment, do you mean the territories or the overall map. And the river, yeah I'm trying to find the best way to do it, right now the river is semi-transparent but I want the borders of the territories to show.

Do you want more territories?

Maybe try to make a hole in the string of mountains where you can pass through both ways, instead of the double arrows. The one-way passes are okay, but it just seems like a "pass" through the mountains might suit the map better.

The mountains between ottero and eddy do nothing.
The river between carton and grant does nothing. I would get rid of these.
Plus I would get rid of the borders under the river. Don't make the river transparent. Your legend speaks for itself. Rivers are impassable. People should know by now how that works.

True about the mountains, I think I will either make a pass or delete them completely. As for the river between catron and grant, its a one way bridge, should I delete the river or keep the one way?

I will make the rivers non-transparent

Thanks, I will either get rid of the mountains completely or make a pass, whichever looks better

Sorry I missed the one way.

Should the one way passes also have a hole through the mountains, or should the arrow go over? anybody?

The one way passes are fine.

In "Santa Fe" put the "Fe" Underneath for more room.

Way too much dead space on the right of the image, maybe even a little less on the left.

I was gonna put more bonus stuff on the right, but I guess this needs to be abandoned since nobody cares about new mexico

I absolutely care about NM. I think you should be persistent and keep this going. Sorry I haven't left feedback sooner. Me, I agree with pepperoni (I think) about making a "hole" in the mountains... and... well, if you've seen my other threads, which I think you have... where you have Lincoln, maybe you could come up with something Native American? New Mex is really, really big on Native American culture, and where you have Lincoln is the Mescalero Apache Reservation. That's where my family is. Maybe you could come up with something that ties into it? Just a thought. But really, I don't think you should abandon this.

Oh, and I really like the sands background. Looks good. :)
