Germany Vs German Area

Post by Hoff »

So I have made two maps, one of germany by itself and the other which includes area surronding germany. Vote on which one you like. The winner of the poll will the the map that i spend the rest of my time perfecting. I for one prefer the map of just Germany, but thats just me.

Any suggestions?

I'd have to say just Germany. The map including the surrounding areas does look a bit too limiting attack-wise, and it seems more crammed in than the other. But I could easily play both :D

I'm leaning more toward the area map...but really as long as you make whichever one you choose work...that's all that matters. And of course if you personally like it.

I think you should only do germany cuz the europe map kinda already has the "surrounding area".

Though I definitely think it makes more sense to use the german area map (because if anyone were really trying to conquer germany, the surrounding areas would be crucial), I think the one thats just Germany looks easier to understand for some reason.

I'd agree that the map without the surrounding areas is easier to understand. Though there will have to be quite a few things done about borders in continents...it still needs work from that stand point.

Personally, I'm leaning towards the Germany map...I cannot say exactly why as I'm not entirely sure...It's just more appealing to me...

It looks like more are leaning toward the strict map of Germany, as of right now. I rather like them both, but perhaps the German Area map seems more just like it was a random area cut out of a map...how fun is it to conquer that? I think the strict Germany map will be the route to go, if you so choose of course.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why not both?
