A few text based things:
- At the top you've mispelled corresponding.
- You use "Attack" both in the same area and at the bottom of the map, though CC's term is "Assault." Just so you know.
- Same goes for "Territory" -- CC's term is "Region"
Regarding some graphic based observations:
- I'd rather see your title enlarged slightly, and expanded into some of that empty space in the top left corner. I'd also like to see your signatures perhaps located somewhere else.
- Northumbria's internal borders are different than the internal borders of other bonus zones, though I'm sure you are aware of that.
- For the most part, I like what you've done with the ships so far. Definitely look into cleaning and polishing them up a little when time is appropriate.
- Your insets and legends similarly could use some polishing when time is appropriate---perhaps you could look into using some decoration to go with the theme? I think this map could perhaps benefit from some Anglo-saxon art/cultural additions.
- And I have a feeling the text will have to be boosted up in size when it comes to the Small Map.
