@tristaneke:
Don't worry, we're only talking about the Dutch Limburg.

And guys, technically it's not a dialect, "German" is actually a language (still foreign though ;) ).

German? Then you need to expand the German dictionary with the words "Doe", "Eens", "Normaal" and "Man". (Guess who I'm talking about >:D )

And about Limburg: you just got yourselves a rare view of Moros in progress of making a map. In this case, with a river flowing directly through Limburg, I make two paths, one covering the east bank (which I just drew), and an other one the west. Then, I make one of the paths transparent, and with the border in a weird color to help making the inter-bonus border adjacent. Then, I make the filling transparent and draw lines on top of it, resembling communal borders. Then, with the division tool I can cut out perfect borders!

Well, you're either talking about me (and were apparently slightly more offended by my joke than intended :s ) or you're talking about "Doe maar" (are those Limburgian??), a reference I'm missing, "Normaal" (not Limburgian, but hey, in De Achterhoek they have a pretty strong accent as well) and "Mannenkoor Karrespoor" (from "Mooi Man", not Limburgian either but still from the Eastern part of the Netherlands).

No, think of some annoying Limburgian in politics. My teacher calls him: "The great blond helmsman" (De grote blonde roerganger)

Yup, he's from Venlo.
And calling me racist about him would like calling you racist for calling Hitler German.

Sweet, congrats! :)

How about asking Richelieu (or Guillaume, Evreux, whatever he's called this month); he's French and he's good at makings [maps](http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=5305)!

Found a minor omission, Hattem is not a part of the Gelderland bonus yet.

Nice improvised logos for the "Below NAP", "Above NAP" bonuses. To be honest though, I like the logos for Flanders and Walloon even more; you're really customising everything, aren't you? (Are you a descendant of Van Gogh and/or Mondriaan (very limited colour palette) by any chance? :p )

Crap, how could I say Mark Rutte there... I feel so stupid.

But to get back ontopic, the map looks really nice so far Moros. How many hours have you sunk in it already?

Yup, I couldn't think of anything else. And you should try to guess why I picked these colors for the Flanders and Walloon bonus links (easy).

Limited colour palette? Do you mean the province bonus colors? I picked them this way to make them easily distinguishable, but I might later choose others that don't hurt your eyes :)

You could do something with a symbol representing "Netherlands" (maybe our lion) with a dual wavy line above / below it. :) Neah, just kidding, this is far more clear.

Black / red with a golden outline, those are the official colours / the colours of the Belgian flag. Or is that not what you meant?

|> Limited colour palette?

Mondriaan is mostly know for his straight lines, but that doesn't apply to you at all, so I wanted to clarify why I put his name there; another characteristic of his style is that he only used white, black and primary colours. While you use a few more, it's still a very limited palette.

Which reminds me of an old joke:
Men are like Windows 95 (hey, when I said *old* joke, I meant it!), they only know sixteen colours; peach is a fruit, navy is ships with guns and mauve is cheating at Scrabble!

ps. Thank you for not answering Frank's question, I'm quite sure I don't want to know...

Fixed. And I replaced the Walloon bonuslink, since it used to overlap the Buseel letters.

Perhaps you could change the bonuslink for the brussels capital region with their flag/emblem. (See the Dutch or English wikipedia for an example.)
It is as much an official region as Flanders or Wallonia (though it is not a community) and it certainly isn't a eleventh province or so.

Btw: Brussels (and Belgiums) main airport is located in Zaventem just outside Brussels.
