I agree with a colour for neutral, but not an outline. Also, try a neutral colour, not something bright like yellow.

Those suggestion was my point of view to improve playability, I wasn't thinking on map context.

Do you want to change borders of germany and austro hungary, these can be posible, he can be biger,if you know have these country must look,please tell me.

Add the west part of Austria (Tyrol) to Bavaria. Add impassible borders between Austria and Bavaria, open borders North Italy and Austria. But if you don't divide West Europe, it isn't necessary.

Big Continet will be the place for the weak player to get stronger.
What hepend with stronger player?

In theory if you are weak in a game, you should go to a bigger continent to in order to build an army and fight for a small or median continent.

qwert wrote:4.bonuses
In you way you create 1 to bigest and strongest country russia whit to huge bonus 7.

Yes, that is how I like to play. The bigger the continent the bigger is a chance of the continent be less disputable. This means if you start weak (last to play, attacked and with bad distribution) you can still go to a "sanctuary" and get stronger, before rolling the dice.
You don't have to apply my 2 cent's if you don't like it.

I personally think that looks a lot better. I'm not sure yellow is the way to go though. Is it possible to swap some colours around so neutral is grey? Otherwise, could you maybe try something like a brown colour? Also, I would remove the "N" from the neutral territories and add neutral to your legend.

Could you also remove the bevel and emboss look you've applied to the outer edges of the map.

What do you think of changing Germany in to brown, and doing the neutral in light gray(allmost white)?
Also I think is best to remove letter N from neutral.
Also the red from Ottoman Empire could be a little lighter.
In the way tha map is, Balkans should recive 3 bonus

now if I were new to the sight, that would confuse me, it doesn't look all that bad, but I liked the old way, it looks less professional, for lack of a better word.

I think that looks alot better, but maybe not that colour. I think quite a pale colour is needed. Grey is a good Colour.
I dont think the N needs to be in them though.
The army shadows look alot better now. Im not sure if there is a standard size for them but to me they maybe look a tad small.

I think The grey continent is a bit dark. It would be hard to read some numbers in that, mainly the 2 western territories. It is also quite hard to see the unpassable border in there as well.
But if you change the colour of that continent and use grey as neutral it should be fine.

I also noticed that 2 of the army shadows in Western Europe need moving: Naples/Sicily and Corsica/Sardinia. Maybe move Naples/Sicily up a bit and Corsica/Sardinia down a bit.

The obvious sections of France are Haute-Normandie, Ile-de-France, and Le Sud de France.

Is it possible to see a few example of the variations, so people can compare all 3 together?

I agree, number 2 is the best. 1 is too flashy, 3 makes it look like everything else doesnt even exists, and number 4 looks terrible with the current colors.

revised: i like the army shadows for 2, but i think that the neutral territories look better in 3.

Also, to put it up for a vote, you can add a poll to your thread at the bottom of the post window, it might only be allowed on the first post.

2, but drop the borders, to emphasize that you can't hold them.

I like number 2 best, I still think a pale grey could work for neutral, but kind of a transparent grey. The grey in number 4 is too dark and too solid.

4. But I would remove the territory borders so it's just land mass as opposed to territories. You could also play with the transparency a bit, but I don't think it's needed.
