French Indochina 1914

Below is a link to a new map I made. I think my map skills are improving. Please look at this map and let me know your criticisms, critiques, suggestions, etc...

One criticism I already know about it is: If the map is left in its current size, it will be the tallest map on D12 and require scrolling. I can shrink it down but then it will not be 1024 wide... Anyway besides that problem, what else do you have to say about this new map?

You're quite good at graphics, Clarke. The problem here is with gameplay - specifically the number of territories on the borders of regions. It will be nearly impossible to hold 7 border territories just for a 5 army bonus. Take a look at the Brazil map, for example, where each region has a number of borders equal or lesser to the bonus it provides. I think that your map should attempt to do the same.

The vertical issue is also unfortunate. I'm not sure if there is a good way to implement maps of these dimensions.

Just like the Philippines map....

By the way Clarke, you must understand the gameplay. Its not as 'fun' if the regions are hard to defend, unless they get a LOT of dough per turn. The regions must be more defensible.

I can not see it.
