Empire of Khwarezm

width 1024:

- historical map of the khwarezmian empire, around the years 1220-1230 during the rule of Jalal-ad-din (he was the latest Shah (=King) of the empire) and shortly before the mongol conquest.

- large map, 12 regions, 65 territories

- the style aims to slightly mimic the persian miniatures art at that time. also remember, muslims read from right to left.

- the writings that are (probably) more difficult to read are for design purposes and have no gameplay relevance.

- all writings that are relevant to game play are made easier to read (names of territories and regions).

- as much as i understood this political entity wasnt arabic/levantine/semitic. It was persian, indo-european/turkic.

So, there are certainly some interesting artistic peculiarities, however looking at the map without reading the explanations I am a little confused and disoriented. I never heard the Khwarezm name before, I had to check it on Wikipedia. Title and subtitle are unreadable (not hard to read, just impossible). The geography seems a bit distorted or compressed, especially in the south, or am I wrong? If it weren't for the Caspian Sea which is easily recognisable, I wouldn't have been able to place this map in the world. Surely you removed a piece of the Arabian Peninsula, so the Strait of Hormuz is no longer a strait. I also expected to read Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, not Persian Sea (which I've never heard of). The Persians are not Arabs, I know this, but they use an alphabet very similar to the Arabic one. Persian writing is actually a little more artistic and a little more condensed than Arabic, however the font you chose seems acceptable to me for writing in the Persian language. The mountains are interesting, very three-dimensional and also the color scheme which gives an intense feeling.

In the general this is a nice and interesting map project, but the cut should be wider and less tall.

I saw several maps of the Khwarazmian Empire, and they all looks much "fatter" than yours:

Plus the coastline in the South should respect the actual coastline, with the the Strait of Hormuz looking like... the Strait of Hormuz!

I forgot to mention... Perhaps you should also add an image of the statue of Abu Bakr al-Suli, the greatest Shatranj player of all time!

well, i did add the strait of hormuz, also changed some other names the way they were in these times, but i doubt the map will ne added, cuz it is too tall :/

Yes, the new title is finely readable, the Strait of Hormuz is fine also.
But the map size format isn't good, you know it now. Should be something on this line:

This probably means remake the map from scratch! That I know it's hurting, but the second time usually goes faster and it gets even better.
