    Removing the settlements has indeed made the map look cleaner... I think it looks betters!

    I still have some problems with some labels. Some examples:
    - The Rhizan Expanse
    - The Bhuj Midlands
    - The Beljedan Highlands

    These are not very readable I think, because they are transparant.
    Otherwise a very nice map!

    As for the legend, you could at least explain the different icons for the cities and what is a land trade route and a sea trade route.

    @Gandwarf. Yeah, I will make the sea and land trade routes seperate on the legend but what do you mean by explaining the differences of city icons. Do you mean make a different icon for Sol, Laer and Keis? Or do you mean explain the differences between fort and cities symbols? Sorry, I'm a little confused.

    I will look into those hard to read labels.

    I just noticed you already have a legend, with the different settlement icons explained. I totally overlooked it. Ignore my comment about the city icons then.

    This has developed into a great piece of work.

    My one little nit-pick is the larger red labels, very tough to read (especially over the forests). Other than that it's very nice.

    Red labels? Oh, do you mean the land trade routes or the country symbol for Haart?

    No I mean the country labels (sorry should've been more specific) like New Demora(?) in the south.

    Red over green can be troublesome (think color-blindness tests).

    Okay, this is the last chance to suggest any changes to the map before I call it done. As much as I love this map I want to move on before it drives me insane. I've already started to break it down into smaller maps.

    Looks great, and only wanting for a higher resolution to read some of the smaller labels. Also, for whatever reason (and I'm not color-blind by any means) but the New Demora label is still the hardest to read of the country labels. It might be the color, although I usually find red-on-green pleasantly fine to read, but in this case I think Steel may still be right. Otherwise, Great job.

    Here's what I think...the colored text for the country names is still hard to read (but much much better...probably due to the font rather than the color) but I did snag a copy for myself...so that says a lot. Nice job.
