Well done Hoodlum. I like the map as it is but i would change some things. You can be more artistic with font and map frame, i would increase bonus for holding China, check if name of Uramchi should change to Urumqi. I would play more with color of China and background. Another cool map :)

Yes, bonusses overall seem low. 4 territories 2 borders (NE Asia) for a +2 seems legit right? But then 3 territories 3 borders (Afghanistan) only +1? Seems little. 7 territories, 4 borders, and only +3, feels very little. In comparison, Europe on world classic has 7 territories, 4 borders and +5 bonus. Can you go through the regions with Vexer's formula? See what you can get for it? Because I think almost all regions can use a buff (except for NE Asia and maye Tibet and Indonesia).

Vexers Formula: = Number of territories /3 + Number of territories to defend /2.5 Afghanistan = 1.6 (2) Mongolia = 2 (2) Tibet = 1.73 (2) India = 2.53 (3) China = 4.53 (5) Indochina = 2.53 (3) N.E. Asia = 1.6 (2) Indonesia = 2.5 (3) (?) buffed to the highest whole #

Since I haven't seen this before for Afghanistan the equation would be (3/3) + (3/2.5) = 2.2? How did you come up with 1.6? (I think either way it is the same result).

[quote=Hoodlum] Vexers Formula: = Number of territories /3 + Number of territories to defend /2.5 [/quote] Assuming Afghanistan has 3 territories and all 3 need to be defended then that would make it (3/3) + (3/2.5) or 2.6 Indo would be 4.2 India would be 3.93 Mongolia would be 3.3 NE Asia would be 2.8 Indochina would be 4.73 China would be 6.13

@@dough_boy, How do you get different numbers for Indochina and india? both are 7-4 right? Or do I miss a connection? Also, I kinda liked the black text on the territories. Not sure if this is better. The font on the minimap is much clearer, but now I miss the region names again :P

ha. just saw the region names layer gone. just edited the link i'm not sure i like the white font or font type better either, .. struggled looking for an alternative.

[quote=Matty]@@dough_boy, How do you get different numbers for Indochina and india? both are 7-4 right? Or do I miss a connection?[/quote] Sorry...I must have counted Annam twice (even though only need to defend once). Indochina should be 4.46 based on the algorithm but we currently have it as 3? Same for India...should be 4.46. Not sure how I goofed that. Probably when I was manually trying to calculate both parts and add together instead of just creating a simple spreadsheet. :) matt

I think the latitude and longitude lines are a bit too visible, so they can be confused for connection lines. I think I liked the new font you tried in white better, but maybe in the dark colour you use for the older font. Love the unique graphical style of this map through, and gameplay looks interesting.
