- Change the font of territory names. It doesn't look very clear, it's hard to read at some places.

- Move the Malaysia -texts away from the Singapore -title. It's just confusing when they're on top of each other. Btw, does there really need to be 2 texts saying "Malaysia" that have nothing to do with gameplay, on a Singapore map?

- Some of the continent colours are too bright IMO. Hurts the eyes. I'd tone down the saturation on at least the red continent, maybe also the yellow and green ones.

That does look better. One thing... what's that photo floating in the sea on the left? I'm not so sure about that. For one thing it's so small you can't tell what it is, and another, it seems a bit out of place.

Also, this is your small map, right? Do you have a large map version? It's really much easier to start from the large version and then shrink it down to get the small version. I'm afraid you might run into trouble if you try to do it the other way around.

Ok.. then you have a problem. The small version should preferably be about 75% the size of the large version. So if you shrink that image into 75% the smallest territories might be... well, too small.

I hate to say this, but your best option would be starting from scratch, and this time go with a large image that's 800 pixels wide. Then if you have leftover space you can crop out the extra. But when you do that view the image at 75% zoom so you'll see how it looks like as the small version.

Which software are you using? You need to enable anti-aliasing when scaling down a picture...

Compare your borders to many other maps, the lines are very thick and fuzzy. I'd replace this with thinner and smoother lines. Since you are coloring your bonus areas, you don't need the even thicker borders at all.
