read the legend :lol:


I meant visually. It's hard to actually see the difference.

Speaking of the legend though, what do you mean by "can be countered"? You still need to clarify.

The border between the ice and the grass feels too abrupt. I'm not too sure how to fix that though. Maybe making the grass right above the ice something more bleak? Like a plain or tundra?

But I like the direction this is going.

Something minor: have those little streams widen a little when they meet that river/bay/whatever it's supposed to be. Looks more natural that way.

What are the dotted lines running through the big river? Why are they so angular? why do some of them cut into (or very close to) army circles and others come nowhere near them?

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I've read a good part of this thread over the last several weeks, but may have missed it somewhere.

thats how you get from the land territories to the ships, cause only some ships can get to the land, some cant

Large

amazingly, the text being kinda/sorta bolded green makes it easier to read in the small
