Also, does changing borders refer to which territories border each other or the physical boundaries that define a territory? It'd be nice if I had some flexibility in moving some borders around as the current map is very restricting.
If I'm going to be the one to take over the project, I want to make sure it's the best it can be, not some compromise that's neither here nor there. I'm not wanting to do anything that would affect gameplay, just have the option of giving territories more room.

KEYOGI wrote:Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll wait a bit longer to make sure it's okay to continue working on my version. I've been basing my work off maps from the 1800's, using the following link as a bit of a guide for style when I need it:

I can make the sea blue, but I'd prefer to keep it as it is if possible to reflect that old feeling. We'll see what others have to say about it.
I completely agree the font isn't right, it's just what I had to work with. I'll have a good look through that link though Enigma, thanks. On the shadows issue behind the text, my main concern was how easy it would be to read. If there's no sort of effect added it becomes very difficult when text is crossing borders and such. Any further comments or ideas?
The shadows around the land are my quick fix for how old maps represent the coasts. See the link above. We'll see where it goes though and I'll try that with perhaps a new ocean colour next update.
On the texture, I really dislike dominant textures. I chose this one because to me it reflected a paper texture. I can try others though if this really is a problem. I would like to keep it uniform across the whole map though since the idea is it's an old map drawn on an old bit of parchment.
