american revolution? it was an idea i made on a seperate forum. since there were only 13 colonies, i thought adding fleets (like the africa 1890 map) would be cool. British in the north, American in the center, and french in the south

It would depend what time frame you were referring to within the revolutionary years. A sizable number of rebel ships where within the river systems. For the most part, the British controlled the high seas until the French finally aided.

rivers could be hard. i meant to put the atlantic river on the map and the fleets there.

I don't know if these have been suggested but...

Korean War - North vs South with China in the north and the UN in the south.

The Hundred Years War - Have England/France broken up into separate provinces/houses to conquer.

Russia Civil War - Can really be one of many times, with Russia being so big and so divided it could make for a big map with lots of options.

How about Southwest Asia + Nearby Islands? 
My idea would be to have modern-day Thailand Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and Brunei. Maybe even East Timor and Papau New Guinea if it fits. 

I think the map could go off of old colonial territories, (french indochina, siam, etc) or just modern-day political borders. 

I think the best maps are the ones that mix a good amount of land with islands. Carribean is one of my favorites, and I like Mediterranean too. I think a "Southwest Asia" map would have a similar appreciation.

I have thought about doing a map of that area before. It's a lot of work so I may not ever get around to it though.

Anyone up for a map based off the Star Wars galaxy?
Yep... copyright issues probably.

60-65 Territories, 13 or so Regions (Just from counting the actual political boundaries and trying to eliminate one territory regions. So it'd be pretty big.

Mountains and/or Rivers would probably have to be added to make some of the territories more defendable, since those are a lot of borders.

Just an idea, what do you guys think?

The Lost City of Atlantis

I have no idea how how to do maps past the crayon level but if someone wants to team up with the skills to make a map I can provide the details in regards the theoretical features of such a layout.

It is legendary and I have recieved permission from the ancient gods so there are no copyright issues...
