I think that's actually just a friendly banter between their clan and the Legion. It's not accidental.

Possibly, but I don't think that is the correct name for only that bit of area. But I'm not too sure.

*Gallipoli is not in the right area. It's probably just me, but I'd rather you change it just because of the geographical area. Gallipoli is on the other side of the Hellespont.
Skittles! wrote:*Germany.. Should be Switzerland.
Skittles! wrote:*Maybe shrink Serbia and place Albania there too. This could replace Ukraine.
Skittles! wrote:That's it. Take them or leave them, it doesn't really bother me except for the Gallipoli and Germany things. Is "Valley of the Fairy Chimneys" really what that area is called?
Skittles! wrote:Forgot to state, colours are looking good except for maybe the yellow.. But I'm not a professional, so my opinion may not count for that area. May be good to see attack lines between the areas if you don't mind.

Why would you post this again Just because you said that twice doesn't mean i am going to stop working on it, other people like it. Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean i have to stop working on it. You don't have the final say you know...

*And i realise it was critiscism and it was fine the first time you posted it but to post it twice after i had already read your comment was unecessary, we already knew your opinion
The map can change, and for the better, i gave reasons that you could work on to make it more appealing, and since there was a new page, i thought you may have missed the comment.
But now i see that you just ignored it and didnt address it or even comment saying "no gfy"
MrBenn wrote:As I said previously, you have a nice draft image here Given the quality of it, some of the following comments might sound a little nit-picky, but it looks like you should be able to cope
1. I think that the texture all over the map is a bit too much, and isn't particularly easy on the eye. I'd suggest trying to tone them down a bit.
2. There is inconsistency in the thickness of your borders... just compare the Morocco/Bechar border to the Israel/Jordan one
3. Some of your borders don't meet, or appear a bit 'clumpy' at the joins.
4. The border around the non-playable bit of Russia looks quite blurry
5. I like the colours you have used, although I'm not too sure how they balance for colourblind players... It might be worth sticking some army numbers on the map to see if there is much of a colour-clash? Clicky link to army number image
6. As far as gameplay goes, I am not sure whether you intend the Med to be generally impassable (like the Glacier on the Iceland map), or if there will be some crossing points across the sea? I think either option will be fine, but I would suggest that you think about this next, along with how/where you are going to join the islands to the mainland
