I like the bevel I have around the entire continent and think this is a matter of personal preference.
I like this bevel effect you have going, but it is NOT around entire continent. One side of Michigan lake has it, and other side does. It should be consistent throughout the whole continent.
Elijah S wrote:Andrew B- The legend is remaining the same. I think it's very uniform and legible and I don't plan to change it.
This is just plain stubbornness. And this is not addressing my concern. Why do you need to say: "in addition to other bonuses" when you can just say "extra" or "whole union state"?
I am not expert in the graphics, but such a small change will take max 10 mins from you. Try it, and you might like it yourself.
Also the font in the legend is not consistent:
Compare the 'E's in the "Lee". They look different. Also first 'A' in Beauregard is very light, almost gray color. All letters should be consistent size and color.

There are many rivers in that part of the country, but it would not enhance the game to try to place them in the map. -The Ohio and Mississippi are the most prominant in the region depicted and that's why I chose to put them there.
Probably I didn't communicate my message well. I don't think you need a river there. And you should not re-arrange the borders for the gameplay. But you need to smoothen the border. It has those straight angles there. But it should be smooth, like West Virginia-Maryland-Virginia border.

Throughout the development of this board I've tried to remain open to all suggestions and feel that this map is very close to completion.
It's not my intention to be rude or appear unwilling to address valid issues, but some of the recent complaints seriously seem more like nitpicking than constructive criticism/advice.
Elijah, during designing the map you can come across the issue, which you just don't want to fix, but it is not good enough explanation. Everyone here want to see your map at play, and we are just helping you to make this map better. It is not nitpicking.
