Texture makes a big difference. It now looks more professional.

But, still, Agh, too complicated. Do I have to play that?

Also the luminous pink arrows stand out too much.

How many countries are there in total? I think there are at least a dozen too many. You may need to apply artistic licence to the map in the book. Cut dozen or so territories out and it will look a better map to play.

Try for lower still.

Also, do you need - if I'm reading it right - more than one separated country continent?

You seem to have brown and light green separated country continents.

A good idea done once is enough.

48 Map is better. Now remove one of the separated country continents.

With brown and green it makes the map a cluttered mess IMO.

Make a poll to see whether anyone actually wants to play your map. I'm not a fan personally.
