maybe you can even leave out the minimap and just write the bonuses at the non playing part of the map. it has not many regions anyway and the regions are stretched from west to east.

just noticedbthat bridges differ in size. maybe make them equal in lenght and width.

Just read the whole thread. I had some mixed feelings about the map. Mostly positive. I thought lots of rivers, but that sounds like it's being worked on. A few borders, but I have bad eyesight. It sounds like if you take Dima's, Hoodlum's, and other suggestions. You made a good map. I enjoy that size a lot.

Appreciate the feedback! Can you share what borders gave you issue? I can likely address this.

maybe smthing along this lines:

This would mean redrawing the entire map from scratch.. which I'd greatly prefer not to do. If it's deemed absolutely necessary, I will.. but for some slight visuals, it doesn't seem necessary.

1. fixed river internal color, changed stroke color to white.. thought is to help differentiate where borders may be or make rivers more apparent
2. fixed Egypt (light purple) region dots/names
3. fixed all pathways
4. all bridges now uniform in size, more obvious

hmm..... cant you just cut off these parts and then increase the remaining map to the normal size?
if it doesnt work, then let it be, yes.

I stand corrected, it was possible. Not sure I love it, but here it is:

hm, let me put side by side for fair comparison:

1. (dead space elimination)

2. (original)

I'm not totally opposed to either, though I do think I prefer the bottom #2. Most maps have a lot of "dead space" if you really think about it, we just usually make it ocean.
