I believed the symbols will be as big as the buildings was this is why I put high def symbols. Will be there other stuffs why make them smaller and let there a lot of space?

If you let them as small indeed better the simple shapes.

Well I don't want the symbols to be too big, so I'm trying to think of something else to put there.

Okay just one more thing. In high zoom the fill dominate the shape not the outline, but in full view the white outline become more pronounced, especially in the wheel and crescent the black fill almost lost. And the bright symbols dont look as good before the bright background.

I think if you try a grey or black outline the contrast will be more aesthetic.

my suggestions:
1) Add more large territories in africa to make the blue and yellow bonuses on the right of it look less sticky-outy
2) Add religion city bonuses
3) Shift the middle box to the center and shrink the right box
4) Make left box bigger by having the religions arranged in columns
5) Make the whole bottom bar thinner and reduce the map dimentions
6) Put credits in the right box
7) Fancy detail on title box

YOU'RE OLLIE BYE???

Also, love the new map you posted here! I like how you included the different regions of the Old World.

Again, I'm a huge fan of your videos, such as your history of India one!

Keep making maps zxctycxz!!!

And now, a quick commercial preview for an upcoming cartoon:

Mapmaker: The Legend of Ollie

"Territories. Bonuses. Connections. Background art.

Long ago, the map lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the broken connections were found.

Only Zxctycxz, master of all mapmaking, could fix them, but when the map needed him most, he retires.

A thirty years (war) passed and my autist clan leader and I discovered the new mapmaker, an youtuber named Ollie Bye.

And although his mapmaking skills are great, he has a lot to procrastinate before he's ready to fix connections. But I believe Ollie can update the map."

I think adding Lhasa as a city in Tibet would be helpful for an extra pathway to China

@Von Jewberg: China is supposed to be isolated, that's why Tibet is missing. I'm hesitant to make it more connected to the rest of the world, but thanks for your suggestion :)

-----------------------------------

The map's almost entirely finished now. There's just one small box in the bottom-left that needs filling with something (let me know if you have any ideas).

If the name is roads of silk and iron why not represent the silkroad with a 1 income bonus? And maybe the levantine and hanza tradeways too.

Dont want to take a try the grey or black outlines of the religious symbols just for see how it looks maybe better than the white outline.

The map will be going public later on today once I've done a few distributions.
