Zen's Europe - A change!

I've been tinkering with changing the map Zen's Europe so that it includes more provinces in order to give a more "European" feel.

Here is a temporary jpg of what the new province lines would be.

Any feedback would be appreciated, especially those who have played the map in a MP enviroment (that means you Pascal!)

With two different browsers, I only get 64K worth of map - the top half inch or so. Hard to make an informed judgement.

I got the same, but I figured it was just my office network.

Oh I got a 2 millimeter wide JPG image ... while the horizontal lenght was fine ...

Nice map. Reminds me of 'Ringworld' - 'cept it's narrower.

It's kind of a one-dimensional map, don't you think? The dotted border lines do kinda look nice, though.

Try now.

Cute. Very cute.

A sea monster popping its head out of the Atlantic Ocean would give it a very distinctive & classy touch. Hmmm, and maybe a Siren in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea?

Looks great!

Fiddly feedback:

I hope some of those Alpine provinces are impassable, such as the unnamed mountain areas directly north of Milan and Venice. I would have made the Alps a pretty major obstacle, mostly impassable except in a couple of places.

Having Sahara so large is going to give it the unexpected side effect of making it fast to cross. I guess it will have zero supplies, though, so it will only be fast for those with their own supplies or a willingness to catch the plague.

There seem to be fewer forests than I would expect in Germany.

this big blob of land looks nice, but needs choke points

what do you all think?
