Graphics look good so far, just please darken the glow behind the NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST all of the big white words with the glow behind them. many of them, especially NORTH EAST (I think thats what it says) are very hard to read.

Gameplay is looking good so far, also.
I like how the river really limits the map, but you can easily use the airports to get around to different areas.
That, and its not many countries, which also makes it interesting for strategy (at least, for the people that like small maps).

Good luck with this one, I hope you guys continue work on it.

EDIT: I'm fine with the area you have this map in now, but I don't live in London (or anywhere near there.... I'm all the way in USA) so it should be up to the rest of you guys to decide to do London or the inner London or whatever the other suggestions are. I have very little knowledge of that area, so I don't really know what parts are important. I'll keep my comments to gameplay and graphics for this one.

My votes is to leave out the extra features, and just keep this as a regular map.
But if there are a bunch of London people here, they should have the final decision.

What interests me the most is definitely the Underground. If you could somehow get WM's map back up that would be awesome

keep this map as simple as possible and avoid undergrounds. i think adding the airports is fantatastic idea and also the bridges.

Keep it simple and remember you cant please every1, which is what your trying to do!!

I like the idea, but your geography is a little off!!

What happened to all the other London Boroughs? If you you include all the london boroughs it could make it much better.
