The Silk Road Map

[ChickPea]

Fantastic work, Snodsy!

I like how you've done the desert areas. They have a texture that's subtle, yet easy to see, and it doesn't clutter up the image with drawings of dunes. It's really well done. As for the side panel, I see what the others are saying and, yeah, maybe it could do with a border at least. However, the way it is just now, it keeps the focus on the map itself, which is no bad thing!

Really looking forward to your next work in this series.

I think the sidebar works ok, a border would be fine but not bad as is. There are a couple of items down in the technology section that seem to need capitalizing, and having no tech listed for some of the regions looks like it was just forgotten. I'd try to find something to put in each of those, even if minor.
