I love it, although the yellow antennas look a bit funny.

A small question. Is it usual in English to abbreviate short words (such as "of" ), when you are not writing it as an acronym. Shouldn't it be R. of Ireland, for example?

I don't like the antennas very much...
Living proof that everyone can be a brilliant great good decent cartographer.

I have changed it to a more suitable abbreviation of the word Republic, so as to still make it readable and understandable as well as fit.
"Antenna" Markers have been removed.

Hyd yn oed er fy mod Cymraeg , dim ond yn siarad Saesneg, felly yr wyf yn gobeithio y bydd y cyfieithu yn gywir.

I think that looks great! The text really distracts from the 'dirty' as Matty said, colors.

You've got the space, might as well go:
Republic
of Ireland

and center?

I feel like it needs to either be full abbreviation R.O.I or fully spelled out. Halfsies doesn't cut it :D

Should it be Rep. of Ireland? Is a period needed there? I am ungrammatically unaware :)

And this one says it's Rep.:

And the all acronym link says to abbreviate Republic of Ireland as RI

More than one way to skin a cat lololol

According to the Belfast Agreement, legally it should just be plain old Ireland. Your British is showing :P

Lol, it looks a bit weird to have a dot after the N but not after the Rep. (See what I did there?)
However, if Aero sais it's correct, than it probbaly is.

Thanks a lot aeronautic for keeping up with me for so long, the map looks absolutely awesome. I love it. Don't have a hat right now, but if I would I would take it off for you :P

playing in a 4 player game, and noticed that the capitals could probably be fairer.

yorkshire capital is border capital while the others are internal ones. there's only 3 steps from yorkshire to essex

Seems to be a good fix or should I say it is better?
95.5% of the time you kill a players cap before your 2nd turn in... you fail or die next

Should we review the other capital locations as well?

As for the 60 suggestion, it feels better, except that the southern most capital has a very nice position in that region there. It feels a bit overpowered.
Still, the old positions had so much pathing problems, that I think it's better overall anyways.
