If i took out the blobby O'hare thing (chicago airport), it looks like the South Island of NZ - (Back to front)
If the game play and map details, dimensions get sorted, then the graphics can be worked on, It would still need a theme of sorts, as is, It's not that attractive to me either and I'm stuck for a war theme, but the game play is starting to look interesting and that's a good thing. Also, Bishop is showing some enthusiasm which is of value. Good game play and real location accuracy makes for a good risk map. Anyone can take over the graphics if they are interested.
Obvious dimension impression is it's a vertical map, and the scrolling. It is however, accurate land mass dimensions for Chicago, and close to accurate information (locations/rivers)
The blobby O'hare would look better just gone, but it makes the required width of the map dimensions (1024) work. A title could probably fit in there, right now I just filled it's space with the Chicago flag. The neutral area in Far North and North West regions, are actually a couple of cities inside Chicago boundaries (interesting). Considered using them to make a region. Just realized now that North West is Kanye West's (Rapper) daughtersname, and Kanye is from South Shore Chicago (Found this out by notable residents from that area). Now I get a better understanding of his daughters chosen name, North West!
I'm not sure about rotation, but am going to play around with it once the game play seems sorted, and wouldn't mind hearing from players from the area on the map details.
