Yep. The darker border makes it stand out as separate from the wood texture, and the change to make the push pins have the light come from above is a good call.Originally Posted by Kuraru
I really like the concept of the map and the general look and feel.
My chief concern is that the blank typeface is really hard to read in some places when it overlaps a nation in a dark color.

Another map I made a while ago. It's of the United Kingdom of the German Nation's colonies in Africa from TL-181, currently under active investigation by the Institute.
this is great! You have a version in jpg? Firefox has problems with PNG.
No problems with firefox 2 or 3 for me here.

JPG is pure evil, PNG better preserves the quality of the image. Though I suppose I could make a JPG version, if you insist.
