I think that you are abandoning too fast my friend.

ok I am lost lol.

For me all "circles" (subway stops) on the map are territs. Only those are territs (so not a 3D / 2 layers map like NYC or Chicago). We could make underlying regions territs as well, if you believe that it should be. I thought that just the subway lines was good enough.

Hub ...

It is a hub city without the h lol

1) OK
2) Oh wow did not know lol
3) I think that ub cities should be territs. We can discuss if they need to be special territs or not (ex: +1 auto deploy, neutral start, belong to multiple bonus areas/subway lines, etc)
4) Nope we do NOT want all the sea lines of course
5) Sea routes it is. I agree ...

1) You mention ading London. It is in the original map!
2) You appear to be using a slightly different map. For example, you have added an south western leg to the Via Britania (which is fine)
3) Would the hub cities start neutral and have like a +1 deploy?
4) Sardina should be connected by sea ...

Minister, how then do we proceed? This would be my first contribution to CC. Should I ask Sasha if he has a version in Photoshop, InDesign or some other graphics software? Having the original would be easier to modify to CC requirements ... not sure the author would share however ...

I wrote to Sasha and yes he has agreed to let me (us!) use this map. He asks that credit him for the graphics and the base idea.

I liked the contrast of old vs new map. Thus the idea. Strangely enough, it is the second time that I post the same idea. I am either consistent or absent minded lol ...

It could work!

Anybody wants to do this map ?

I am thinking about a 3 letter code at the bottom of the hex. Army count in the middle.

Following suggestions and some more digging, I looking at creating the map around this idea. What is visually missing here (and would need to be done) is the concept of "regions" present in the other map.

Advantages of this map

1) tighter
2) better territ connections

wow all GREAAAAT comments. I like the +1 bonus for Nord, similar to Third Crusade, a map I often play.

I have tightened the map somewhat

Bonjour IcePack,

Yes it is a large map. The good news is that there is a lot of white spaces between regions, space that could be tightened.

As for naming territs, we could use an approach similar to that of USA 2.1, i.e. using numbers to id them along with a legend. Regions with white spaces ...

LOL

I used to visit the Foundry more often.

The biggest issue with this map is that it is linear, East to West, rather than a more rounded one. As for bonus values (Ont vs Que) it has nothing to do with GDP but with size.

A long long time ago in a far away Conquer Galaxy there use to be a nice Silverlight based plugin to view in game stats (ex.: territs, troops, bonuses, etc) over time. Kinda of nice. Although only a "nice to have" and not a "must" like BOB, it would be fun to have it back.

Not too fond of it either.

Although... I'm sure they changed it because of the new colours to help distinguish them for someone with colour blindness or partial colour blindness. Just my guess.

One person in the thread using their brain anyway

@ everyone else; obviously it was changed to ...

Green players are now "Forest Green" players.

I do not like it, too dark.

Switch back.

Please.

Tks. I am (almost) glad to know that I am not alone.

What happened to clickable maps? I use Safari 6 on a Mac and since about a week ago, the hover pop-up is way too close to the country army count location that the map is not longer clickable - or not friendly at all. I got used to it but I can no longer use it practically.

I do not often comment maps in progress. Shame on me.

This one?

With all due respect to map makers, this map is just, well, blah.... too small and too similar to so many other maps with no special twist to it.

My $0.02
