I am working on a new map. It is a map of Africa in 1890. I'm not finished, but just wanted to get some opinions. I was going off of the image: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historical/africa_1890.jpg

Here is an example of what the graphics will be like. The dark squares to the left of Africa will be fleets:

Here is how the territories will be setup. The red lines are connections. The black dots are territories. The white backgrounds separate the territory sets. The big numbers are how many connections the set has. For example in the world map Australia has 1 connection, South America has 2, North America 3. The number of territories you must defend to defend that set:

are you saying its 4 x the number of territories? so this map will cost 4x13=52 tokens to buy this map???

I put up the latest version.

Yes, 4x the number of territories, but you are calculating territory sets. Territories for this map is around 68.

cant buy it, there is a link on the right, when I click more info in the shop, that doesn't show up properly, clicking on it brings this up

Not Found

The requested URL /image/map/6.l.jpg was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

That's a pretty nasty looking error, never seen anything like it. Well the link on the right was just the image of the map. I fixed that, the reason it wasn't working was because it's looking for 6.l.jpg, but the file is 6.large.jpg now. That should work, the purchase link though should be at the bottom of that page, below the stats.

Where did you get that apache error?

You might ahve to wait a bit for it to load, it's big. I need to figure out a way to lower the size without killing the quality.
