Looks good, the ball is a good touch but when I zoomed in to look at it its not a rugby ball and a south African and any southern hemisphere country would notice its an American grid iron ball (no laces)

Aah okay, got it.
My bad, I thought it was the same ball for both sports.

I will try to find a proper South African rugby ball and replace it.
I can't edit the map now though, because I'm on vacation without my PC.

The ball is wrong and needs to be removed, the flag is right but I'm not entirely satisfied with it, so I'll remove that too. Just provisionally, then on early January I'll modify it more properly. Be patient please. Here the provisional version with 2 missing elements:

I was undecided for several days... In the end, the best option seems to me to avoid any reference to politics and sports. Also, avoid any writing, slogans, or proverbs. Only soft images, including the Sothafrican flag which is so nice. I think even Psymon would have voted for this solution.

Edit: but perhaps that flag doesn't look as good as I wished. I don't know, maybe I'll change it a lil bit.

i think it looks better without the quote. regarding the flag: i played around, check this out:

the second version is better i think.

right now the flag just floats in the middle of nowhere, i would try to alignt it with one if adjacent lines or map division or empty pockets to make it look fit in a more naturql harmonious way.

Oh yes, thanks Dima, it was not exactly what I meant, but it is a good idea in the end. I'll try to make it similar to yours.

Just want to jump in here and say that I am impressed with all the new maps that have been created! Great job all! I just stumbled upon Ancestral Waters and am looking forward to playing that one. :)
