I love this ideia :) I can help testing it, if needed.

Cities are spelt differently in different languages, but it's very easy for me to change their names, so just tell me if you want me to edit a territory name.

You want the cities translated as well? I assumed you wanted them in English, but if you say different, I'll get to work.

Expect edits on this post.

Venetia:

Venice->Venexia

I'll get around to doing humongous Iberia later.

Well, I want major cities in English, but I jut mean if there's a local town that someone wants changed, then I can change it. Don't worry about going through the whole map changing all of them - that would be a waste of time.

Ah, I see. Well, I do not see any other mistakes that the ones you've already righted.

I'll test.

Found some, more to come:

Genoa:

Aléria->Aleria

Sardegna:

Palau->Lu Palau (Note: City was founded in 1875, you may want to change it)
Sassari->Tàtari
Oristano->Aristanis
Cagliari->Casteddu
Iglesias->Igrèsias

Venetia:

Casteluovo->Castelnuovo (not sure if it is the same in Venetian as in Standard Italian, but definitely not Casteluovo)
Grado->Gravo
Feltre->Fèltre
Vicenza->Vicensa
Chioggia->Cióxa
Cologna->Cològna

Besides, I'd ask to make your map bigger in the east.Middle east was important that time because of Persia, it was very strong in the beginning of 1600s, also some India and southern Africa would be good if you havee some place left for it.

In Cronw of Castile, in the North, "Oviedo" is not where you put it, Oviedo is in Gijon, and it was bigger than Gijon in that time.
I would change the names in that region in these way.
Old Name -> New Name.
Gijon -> Oviedo
Oviedo -> León
León -> Ponferrada
Ponferrada -> Lugo

(It seems that the map you used for the names was moved a bit to the West xD)
I'm pretty sure these changes name the territories better, since I'm from there, so I hope you use this.

And if I were you, I would take some part of "Vigo" to "Verin", the part
below the 4, and name the territory "Ourense", which is and was a bigger town than Verín.

And some misspellings:
Zanora -> Zamora
Aviles -> Avilés

In Kingdom of Granada (East), Southest part of Castille, you misspeled Montril -> Motril.

And if you want, I can help to translate some of the names in the "Crown of Aragon" into catalan, since Spanish was almost not spoken in those territories in that time. That's up to you.

Venexia:

Castelnuovo->Tolmezzo (Better name, bigger and more important city)

I'd like to do that, Lionheart, but there just isn't enough room. The thing is with map making is that there's a limit on the dimensions of the Inkscape file, so I can't just make it as big as I want. Plus Persia didn't take an active role in the 30 Years' War as far as I'm aware, which is what this map is based on. I will be abe to include parts on India though, because Europeans had colonies there.

I'll test

Are you guys happy with the way I'm doing the colonial theaters? If you have any suggestions, it would be nice to hear them.

Yeah the brackets are pretty nicely done. Maybe just write what is in the brackets, otherwise it's fine.

I noticed many Spanish cities wrong:

-Albacete (not Albacte)
-Murcia (not Murica)
-Guadalajara (not Guadaljara)
-Sant Vicent del Raspeig (not Sant Vivent del Raspeig)

And also other cities in wrong places, like most you wrote in Kingdom of Aragon (Soria, Zaragoza, Huesca, that although not far from their real places, they could be better). Even you created two Barcelona's, the city and the territory next to it.

So, although it seems it will be a good map, if you corrected that kind of mistakes it'll be one of the best in WarLight /WarZone :)

Thanks, but perhaps you could tell me what those cities should be called, because it's hard to for me to tell any more accurately.

I'm excited about this map! Combines large size (but with no mega landmass :D), cities (one-territory bonuses) and aesthetics (neat borders and careful colour scheme). It also utilises theatres (like in your Spanish succession map) but this time there aren't messy lines everywhere, which I know required a compromise in having naval connections spanning a much greater distance in the real world when closer territories IRL could be used. This could secure you a third front-page (in av rating) map.

I would say make England and Scotland similar coulours. They were pretty unified by that time and right now Scottish colonies look like French colonies.

I agree, maybe make scotland pink or purple or use colours closer to cyan/green.

Edit: p.s. zxctycxz, you forgot to put me in the list of testers

I'll add you, TeeMee. As for Scotland, it was a separate country at the time, it's just that the King of Scotland inherited the English throne, so they were in personal union. Their colonial endeavours remained separate.
