Another point I encountered:
The purple islands in the north-east: it is very hard to see from which territory those can be attacked. I found it really hard to find the connecting lines between all the small islands. The solid curved lines are by itself already a bit difficult to see as connections. I think the straight dashed still work out better on Risk maps, but that is your own decision I think.

Let's see...

-Inlets fixed, ok
-Haven fixed, ok
-Font cleared, ok (don't like it outlined)

The short connections is something about I thought for some time. Finally I chose solid lines because dashed ones may be mistaken by islands themselves, so I find more appropiated a longer one.

I have no time now, but later I'm uploading a new version.

NoxoN, I already had that font!
I tried it and I think this guys won't like it. The trick in Victron map is that the characters are split by a space, and this font is meant to be linked, (maybe that's why I don't like that font there), and linked it's maybe too bold. Still, I found another one I liked, and I put it so you can tell me how little you liked it :P

It's also curious why most of you guys say that this map seems like Victron one... I don't find many similarities, even if it is the one which may be the only one with black calligraphic letters.

So V5.
-Adapted minimap.
-Changed font. The names are out of their places, in case you like it, I'll relocate everything.

I agree, the last font was 10 times better. Remember this is not just art this has to be a playable risk map. I need the font readable.

LOL..you do!
Vexer is the territory circles ok that close to the text? or cut off?

Vexer wrote:
yes there are some circles that are too close to the text. Psymon, some of these territories will become capitals and there needs to be space for the white ring to go around them.
PsymonStark wrote:
I repeat what I told Thorpe before, wouldn't be enough with enlarging those which will be used as capitals, when we choose them?. In some regions (green and orange specially) it's pretty difficult to enlarge and rearrange them. I guess it's enough if we enlarge just the 10/15 which will effectively be capitals, if needed.

Ok, we will determine capitals after we get the game play nailed down. I still haven't had a chance to look at the regions to determine the bonuses and see if any connection lines need to be added or removed. We will see if any text needs to be relocated afterwards.

I think you should remove some of the tiny islands that are so small that they just look like black dots. This would make it easier to see the connection lines and the map will look better too.
