Everyone strikes you as a multi...

Nice map, the borders could be made smoother, use the path took and trace the real borders.

A few clarity issues right off the bat:
- Definitely make the continents easier to tell apart.
- The bonus list is practically invisible; I hardly noticed it at all. It needs to be much bigger.
- Four-way corners mean confusion about which territories can attack what. Does Marash touch Sivas? Does Ankara border Marash? Do Sinop and Trabzon touch? There should be no question about what touches what when looking at the map.

There's good potential in this, though. Nice work.

Agree with all that.....plus Gelibolu is oft used as representing the Peninsula on the western side of the Dardanelles.
Is there another name you could find for the eastern side.

Good start.

Since the territory comprises both sides, I think this name is excusable.

Good work, thanks.
I have to make some corrections due to a few major mistakes about land names.
1.Gelibolu is name of town which belongs to province Canakkale and also the name of peninsula however the name of province is Canakkale but not gelibolu.
2.Another one is tarsus. Tarsus is a town belongs the province Adana. You will need to replace Tarsus with Adana.
3.There s a town named as Efes under the Izmir province government. That means efes is a town, belonging to province Izmir. At the location of Efes in this map, there should be province 'Denizli' . You will need to replace Efes with Denizli.

Most of points made so far are rightfull. Some territs intersections are not clear. Also bonusing is not clear too.
If you like to add some artistics inside your map, i can be some help to you to find a better map with some mountains, rivers lakes inside which hopefully would look better.

Feel free to PM to me just in case.

Also, please replace Kafkasya with Caucaus ; Mezopotamya with Mesopotamia; EU with Bulgaria and Greeece.

Turkey has 81 cities and 7 regions but it's too much for playing. So we can't use completely real cities and real map. I know there is no city named Efes in Turkey also Gelibolu... But these are only my choises.

@Evil DIMwit - i noticed your suggestions i will change the map.

@all - thank you for your all replies

What is wrong with an 81 territory map?

by **apranaxfort** on Sat Aug 22, 2009 4:53 pm

I forgot to say: i have only one account. I started this game 3 days ago

. I am from Turkey but i couldn't see Turkey map and i created one.

Don't feel pressured by such paltry things as popular opinion or geographical accuracy. Have as many territories as you want.

also, what is the difference between the dotted lines and the filled lines, are the filled lines impassible? im not too familiar about the geography of Hungary, but i think there are probably some rivers or mountains or other crap that can stand in your way :lol:

and as with most country maps, (i think :-s

) i would like to see a plus 1 auto on the capitol!

Actually... there is, I've been there. It's what they call Ephesus, it's not a modern city, just a major Greco-Roman one. It's right outside of Selçuk.
