This was a map that -NoXon- and I was doing and he is no longer around so I never got the game plan from him. 

We were trying to give the map a different look unlike the others.

Why, urgul? I think we are currently trying to nail down the gameplay.

It would be easier to call the territory by name, for example lets just say that i wanted utah beach to be larger or whatever. I could say 'make utah beach larger' instead of having to say 'make that purple thing that borders that other thing bigger.' Its up to Thorpe to decide if he wants to knock out the names or the gameplay first, anyway. But i reccomend getting all of the names down.

This is a WII map That is correct...so to make something bigger or smaller, would not keep with what really happened. I could change it for gameplay ...but not for just looks.

Question on gameplay:
Should the Airbornes have a bonus and then the Divisions(army), plus the Spy Plane, get one also? Maybe all of them together would be like a region with a bonus of 7.

Conquring all of them should get a bounus of 7, 8, or even 9.

Thorpe why don't you quickly number all the territories. I like urgul's idea but you can do it faster with numbers while we work on gameplay.

Also I'm not a fan of the graphics at the bottom for 2 reasons. 1 is that it is distracting and you could use that space to make the map bigger. It looks too abrupt and discontinuous to have the map be cut off there. And 2, that was definitely not WWII apparel ;)

there you go.
I only numbered the first one because that one was better.
im not sure if those islands off the coast of 39 are territories... i numbered them just in case.
sorry about the font of the numbers, i had no idea until i uploaded.

i agree w/ pixels about the bottom pic. this isn't the american revolution!

I have been looking to find the names and my eye-site is not as good at reading those words...so if they are missed spelled or you have a better name...feel free to correct me.

I think that we need more attack points than going through Paris...but then again?

What about more territories in the red? Or should I put the mini map there and get rid of the bottom stuff. I added that for the mini map and the +7 bonus and used them as filler. I kind of like them and add I think it gives it a real map look to it.

Here is what I am working with:

The dark text was added by me so do not look at it.

There should definitely be more ways between Belgium and France than through Paris. Historically accurate or not, this will be both problematic for capitals as for any other game, as there is now one big superregion with only 3 borders.

Sorry for being so absent, but I am personally not really interested in the map, so I will leave the comment-giving to the people that will actually play on this map.
