check again adn zoom in, i assure you there round adn 22px in diameter.

Im not blind!!! Dont need to zoom in!! Im looking at the map on Page 20 and there are 2, if not more that arent round. They are fairly near the border lines, so this could be the problem!

Ps..you cant call a district "oxon"!!

You have plenty of room, just use the full names!

yes they are, its an illussion on your part becasue of the glow used in the boarders.

Gimil, its Donegal.

Not how you spelt it

So, seeing that we're finally discussing Hadrian's Wall, do you suppose the Romans over-stretched in getting that thing built all the way out in the swampy periphery of their empire, when they could have built it around Rome, twice, and have something useful against the Germanic tribes that later conquered Rome?

Isn't it a bit like owning S. America on the Classic map, with Africa suddenly falling into your hands and then spending loads and loads of armies on fortifying Egypt and East Africa so much that someone just walks into your front door in Venezuela?

Come on, you all have CC experience: Did the Romans goof up?

As for the point that it shouldn't be there given the contemporary nature of all other names and boundaries: Well, perhaps, but then most other maps have really weird and arbitrary limitations of where you can or cannot go just the same, so let's not worry about it.

Lincolnshire still needs a capital L!

small changes, theres no way to get a wall type texture for hadrians becasue of te style of the map.

Gimil...one thing to say....well done!!

looking class at this stage

just a few minor points

The apostrophe is your friend

- Hadrian's Wall

- St George's Channel

- Land's End

I know someone posted this before but for the sake of a few pixels of movement I really wish all of Cornwall could be on the map - i hate the way a bite is cropped out of it at the moment

the colour of the river shannon should be more blue so people realise this impassible is an actual river

the outline of your ireland map looks a bit odd with the likes of cork harbour missing but it broadly looks like Ireland despite the various missing harbours, ports and headlands - so correcting thisd should not be seen as a priority

sometimes hes not worth te bother

If i get no major quries by the next time im onlnie i will start the small version.

it looks weird that the border on ireland, the river I guess, has a thin border whereas the rest of the island is thick green.

the connection between lancashire and clwyd doesn't look good with that gap. I'd suggest only having the yellow border. That way you have the continuity of only having one the yellow border next to both the red and purple.

also, there's a couple places that the purple borders are thicker than other parts. it just looks off.

any other ideas as to what to do with Hadrian's Wall? I just seems a little too simple. I know that's kinda the theme, but it just doesn't seem to work.

I'm loving the graphic look of this map. I think it is becoming everything I hoped this map could be.

Few minor ideas: Perhaps move the legend names down a little...so there is a buffer space between "Great Britain and Ireland," as that is part of the title.

I'd also consider either adding more "The's" to the various water names or remove the ones from "The Atlantic Ocean," "The North Sea," and "The English Channel," so there is a uniformity.

I'd also maybe like to see a hint more of "yellow" in North England...so it doesn't look so close to Ireland (doesn't have any effect on gameplay, just for visual sake).

Otherwise it is looking good!

Wha?!

YOu can't add an apostrophe into these names though!? They're real places!?
