If u go to http://www.1001freefonts.com, there is a font called "Dracula's Blood" i think. Just in case u wanted to use that.

Great, I'm glad this part is cleared!

Well, hopefully next draft will be clearer, because I don't have much to do without feedback on gameplay currently lol

You can see on the first post the original map we use as background. Androol made the rest. Not really a copy/paste

Well, we thought of using Vlad's name but we'll stick to the romanesque version of Stocker

Considering that this is the 1st draft, I'm impressed.

Thanks for the compliments, I'm sure this will take a long while to develop but it's always nice to receive encouragement

Well... er... you're ugly.
Yeah, you're right. I faintly recall reading something about Stoker saying he just chose a random name from old European aristocracy. So, Stoker's Dracula has nothing but the name from Mr. Tepes. Sorry about that. 
Now let's get back to the map. Here's hoping the next draft will be great.

sorry no. and i think no matter how much you soften the texture it will still look odd. it's simple actually you have a background that represents an old hand drawn map and on top of it some really modern looking and colorful textures. plus the textures aren't complimentary at all. they don't work well with eachother.

Yeah, it's still too heavy, but at least now I can see what it's like I like the background texture, with the blood drops, you could make the whole map more like it. Keep the blood off the legend, tho, it makes it too hard to read.
Gameplay wise, it looks good, as far as I can see. I kind of like the Roms Road continent, spanning across the map, although it'd be too hard to hold. But, focus on the graphic aspect for now.
