That's just a little too nit-picky for my tastes...

It looks fine, really.

First off, laptop keyboards are a lot harder to type on than regular computer keyboards. Naturally, because of that it will be harder to type accurately.


Now, for your nitpicking, what I meant to say was, "We only intend to go until Christmas". I was referring to the nitpicking..


Doesnt take a genius to figure out. Clearly, I can see I'm dealing with lesser intelligence.

True, but you can still read over what you wrote to correct something. But i see now, that "u" after the "y" in only was just really throwing me off. But this is off-topic now so i'll quote myself.

Oh, so basically what you though was that I put u which = you and had a subject lodged in an odd place?


I got it.

I do agree that it could be quenched.. or we could nitpick until Christmas to spite the "quench it crew"

But I'm a member of the Church of the Second Coming of the Great Prophet Zarquon-- we dont celebrate Christmas. Our great festival is Gesundheis, which we spend by blessing our fellows and receiving blessings, at the beginning of ragweed season. This is discrimination!

Seriosuyl tho, the things we're picking on now are inthe xml, which takes a few keystroeks to fix, not liek redrawing a border or anything major, which i think Zim has been pretty good in fixing.

Cameroon's a little off in both maps, panama in the big one as well, just to add to the previous list

Please just quench it. I have held off on joining games in the hope of starting at least 2 games, possibly 4 on this map.

Alright, last check Zim I think.

You know the drill... XML image of large and small to check coordinates...

And then give me just links to the small map, large, and the xml.

Dont think you will do much about this, but I still think that some of your bonuses are off.

Changes most needed:
Scandnavia - 3 territories, 2 border territories that border neutral territories (thus not hotly contested) with a bonus of 2? should be a 1, only way to make it a 2 would be for Sweden to border Germany or Poland.

Changes moderately needed:
Maghreb - 9 territories, 5 border countries and bonus of 5? I think it should be pushing for a 6. I guess its okay because it is bordering neutral countries on the east.
Far East - 5 countries, 3 borders, bonus of 4. Africa in Classic has an extra territory and one less bonus. Bit hard because of Indian Subcontinent however.
Middle East - 7 countries, 4 borders, in the middle of everything, but only a bonus of 4? should be pushed to 5, especially if Far East bonus is left alone.

Also your North American sub-bonuses are weird, both subcontinents have all territories as borders, which is odd. I suggest you make the Great Lakes larger to block Upper Canada, because that continent is very weird.

Don't expect any of these changes to be put in place because your so close to finishing, but after staring at the map hoping it would become quenched, the ideas came to me.
