I received the following map suggestion from @Pomello earlier today. I thought it best to relay it to this thread.
Rome map suggestion (click to show)
I quickly noticed that this map is identical to World Classic in gameplay, right down to every single territory adjacency (pretty much). The only significant exception is that in this version, the substitute for E. Africa is not connected to the Middle East. For this reason, I don't think it likely that the map will be pursued, since it is a lot of graphical work just to offer a duplicate of the site's most popular map. But I thought the suggestion should be seen, if only for the interest of seeing a decent World Classic makeover :)
It is now Day 8. Please submit your Lynch vote, as well as any Role-specific Day actions you wish to perform (countdown).
Day Actions:
• #LYNCH [player], #NO LYNCH, #ABSTAIN in forum thread.
• Role-specific actions (via PM with V98).

Oh well, good noticing Virtuos...
Another small difference with World Classic is that here Middle East and China are connected while India and Kazakhstan are not. It's just the Italian version of the Classic Risk/Risiko board.

These are just my opinions, others are welcome to give theirs.

For Rome, I'm guessing that someone would have to come up with their own map of Rome to save any copyright / creative rights infringement.

For Barcelona, I don't think we've ever made a map at this altitude, probably because it looks a bit chaotic. This would be very difficult to make into a Risk map and possibly too connected as well.

Won't the map look of Barcelona look like Texas or Brazil?

At this altitude, it's a street map.... very chaotic, messy & confusing for Risk maps. Also very difficult to create intuitive regions.

@aeronautic I can understand that but why does the map Texas with 100+ territories work and Barcelona doesn't?

Even with region & territory borders it's hard to look at.... chaotic.

I don't know why you have used Texas as an example for this suggestion, they have nothing in common at all.

Overall I agree with Heronautic.

Allthough I'm thinking with one way connections we can do sorta' car map, with one way lanes and crosses.
Better would be a very small village or hood.

Enjoyed playing a 3v3 map of Texas and then Westeros. Great job and thank you guys. Really enjoying the big maps. What if you did a state map (pick your favorite) with every county as a different territory?  I think it could be a cool easy to design big map. For example Michigan has 83 counties, which would make for a nice map with lower and upper penisula's and then add a few ports/ ferries. Thanks so much if anyone is reading in advance.
