Establishing Nation
I don't think alliances are actually that predominant an aspect of the setting yet...they exist, but they are not the primary actors in RP. So perhaps possibly a second map showing alliances, but I'm not sure about putting them onto the main map. I'd like flags to return to the map, though. And capitals. Mhhh, flags.
Flags frankly don't look that great on the map, and usually have to be scaled down to such an extent that there's almost no point. Kyle tries to just keep nations thematically colored (ex. Ivernia is green, Carentania was red), which I think is the better aesthetic for the time being. Perhaps some effort can be made to put in some capitals, major cities, and perhaps even prominent trade lanes along similar lines as the Danz maps of olde.
