For this version, I basically agree with what Ruben said. Sorry I don't have much more to add to this than that .

Looking good! 
I especially like the gray to white now, better than blue to white
And since you added the mini-map and the thing about paris, i dont have to learn french!
btw since u changed the ocean, u might want to change the river

Why should the sea be blue?
I think in gray it enhance the colors inside the map and do give a more ancient map feeling

The sea looked better in version 1.
Apart from that the comments I made in the previous posts are still valid.

Sorry to sound like a negative old fart hte first time I come in here but could you do me a few favours please:
1. Use [bigimg] tags instead of [img] ones?
2. Only have the image on your latest draft in post 1 and have the rest of them as normal text links please?
This would make my life ever so easier and I could happily look over your map
Cheers bud.

Actually, I like the white palette with color outlines. It seems like one of those maps you'd find in a book about the French Revolution ("here's the state of France prior to the beheading of Louis XVI"). [opinion]Unlike France today, 18th century France was badass, with ridiculous capital spending, social uprisings, and the guillotine toward the end of the century.[/opinion]
One problem your map is going to run into: right now it's the Large size, and you've got some small territories. I would suggest cutting the left part of the map down and turning the map you have right now into the Small map, leaving you with tons of space in the large. You'll have to drop a little bit of England and Spain out for that, and move some of the text on the left side closer to shore, but it won't look cramped. You may also need to drop the doodads over there (though the ship and compass are a nice touch).
Also to help with that: the border is nice, but it's taking up 20 pixels or so on each side, 40 pixels that could go to better use on the focus of the map. Dropping the border won't kill the olden look and will grant you some more space to get within that 600px limit for small.

I agree with what Zimmah said, to an extent. I'd make the whole map slightly tan, but certainly not as brown as The New World. I'd keep the playable territories an off-white color.
What if you made the ocean parchment-like instead of white, and had the gradient from the land out be small and a more concentrated brown color? You could do cool stuff with the edges of the image, like curled-up edges, wrinkles, etc. to make it look older.

You can bet it wasn't brownish in the 18th century.

The sea was much better in the first version but no one knows that because there is only a link to the image and basically no one cares to click on it or even realises it's there. You should have made the first image visible as well since it is an option on the poll. Not doing that makes this poll stilted.

My dear Ruben,
I did read all your comments and I think I get the a clear idea of what you think about the sea.
You PREFER version 1 as you said in your 6 comments, ok i take note of it.
But I made a poll on this purpose to see if other people like more the gray sea by example!
And to my point of view I really tried to respond to each of your suggestions, sorry if sometimes, and they are a very few, I do not agree with you!
I hope you will appriciate to recive this personnal answer and wish you a nice day!

Here are the poll results:
v06=1
v06 with minimap=6
v05=2
v05 with legend=2
other=1
My conclusions are there is a clear preference for blue sea (i'll do like v01 for ruben eyes only) and minimap is better.
Thanks for voting, new version next days.
