Andrew,
It looks really good!
FYI, I played a couple of long games with Subchaser's map, which I liked as well, before switching to your current map. I like the current version of your map better than I like Subchaser's map. The reason is that during a long gaming session the ocean colors on Subchaser's map made me bug-eyed. The new color you have for shallow ocean is brighter than your current color for same, but still darker than Subchaser's (as it should be). Subchaser's map is great, but please don't emulate his color scheme all the way, or else I will be [sm=00000116.gif][8D]
I agree that a muted color scheme is desirable. Too many hours poring over a garish map makes for eye fatigue. When it comes to color saturation, your average joe seems to prefer LOUD colors. But that's because your average joe has an attention span of about five minutes (when he's concentrating with all his might) and so he doesn't often bother to study maps. Mostly he just sits at home in his free time and stares at a TV screen that comes from the factory set with LOUD colors. Our average joe does suffer eye strain there, of course, though he isn't particularily aware of it. He probably just writes that off to a another hard day at the office . . . where he might well have sat all day long staring like a doped doll at a computer screen that came from the factory with its saturation set too . . . LOUD.
