It looks awkward with Scotland whited out. If you White out Wales, it might look better. Or you can add Scotland.

For the city/castle bonuses, you should just move them all to the left. People will understand that each is worth 1.

List of Problems
1) Berwick-Upon-Tweed would have been part of Scotland back then.
2) The Isle of Man would have been part of Kingdom of the Isles.
3) Some of the places you've used as names wouldn't have existed back then as they were built after WW2 (such as Milton Keynes, Stevenage, etc. see this Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_towns_in_the_United_Kingdom)
4) You seem to be using historical counties, but with some ceremonial county boundaries. If this is medieval, please stick to historical counties. (i.e. the Hampshire-Dorset boarder should be slightly further west to include Christchurch in Hampshire, as it was back then, unlike today)

Also, would you give an approximate year in which this was set? Just the word 'medieval' is a bit vague.

Hey thanks for your input, but you are actually wrong on some of these points:

1) Several times possession of Berwick changed hands between the two kingdoms. Its just all the maps I've researched all have had Berwick-upon-Tweed in England.

2) True! But I've included it because I will probably be adding Scotland.

3) Well you are right but, you need to look closer into it. I've tried to look at every territory to see if it dates back, though im bound to have missed some. Take your example of Stevenage. Also just because it says new towns, it doesn't mean its been built out of nothing. Most of them were actually existing, but were developed.

Stevenage (just look at the history): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevenage though that doesn't mean it was called Stevenage! I think maybe Stigenace? but that's going back to the Doomsday book.

Milton Keynes: This city you are right, but its one of the only ones. Thx for notifying me on that one!

4) Yeah just looked that up more closely. However I'm pretty sure its accurate in most places, except Christchurch. However because its better strategically like this, im gonna keep it this way.

Time period is literally medieval, to open up the amount of Scenarios that can be played on it. More specifically I guess 12th century to the 15th Century. I went along with the 12th century when researching castles built then. But the counties stayed the same for that period anyway.

If the testing games are going to be multiday, I would like to help (if you're going with realtime testing games, I'm afraid it'd be difficult for me to schedule that). It's been a while since I play-tested a map and I kinda miss it. :)

Oops mistake thought I saw county lol.

That's the reason why Ireland would sort of good to include also. But space is an issue!
