Well, I just noticed that you were using names that were written in a way that completely corresponds with the Chinese system for writing down words phonetically. (e.g. Sichuan instead of Szechuan as western nations sometimes refer to it) Going by that system, Nei Mongol should be Neimenggu.

All the tourism sites or sites based in North America, Australia, and Europe seem to call it Nei Mongol, while sites based in China call it Neimenggu.

Interestingly, while the map in ClessAlvein's post uses phonetics for Inner Mongolia, it neglects to do so for Tibet, Hong Kong, and Macau...

Hmm, you're right. Completely phonetically would require Hong Kong -> Xianggang, Macau -> Aumen, Tibet -> Xizang, and people would probably have trouble recognizing these names. I think Nei Mongol or Inner Mongolia is fine, then.

you have an older map... tibet is the name that the americans gave china, xizang is the real name

look to this maps:

The army circle in Liaoning is slightly in Nei Mongol. Do you think you could move it over a little?

I understand the meaning of the graph( black and white in color)
but I think that's strange.

All other things are good(especially the bridges)
I am looking forward to see the release of this map~


thats because of the kapitals: "bejing, Hong Kong & Shanghai


oh I see, but I will suggest you to use economic centers in stead of three Taoism logos~

sorry but i still think it looks good, it looks like a large plateau at the same thickness all the time, so its flat just as the other things at my map

i think all the continent should have more bonus
red - at least 4, with so many one way borders
beijing and shenyang - at least 3 each, many borders as well
green is ok
yellow should have 5
orange perhaps 2 (or even 3)? its hard to get, considering how many surrounding territories there are
blue should have 5
and i think having all three "special symbols" have not enough bonus, its not enticing enough; nobody would get them. Perhaps raise it to 4 or 5 so it would be attractive

red, only has 3 borders... the same as green and you said that that one is good so i think you need to recount..
beijing and sehnyang have both only 3 countrys so you suggest 1 bonus per country?
also 5 countrys you suggest 1 bonus per country?
again to much... i suggest you looking into other maps, i use my methods to set the bonuses, you don't think holding the three capitals for 4 or 5 is a bit much since it are only 3 countrys?

i like the idea of a china map.

i don't like the current arrows for one way attacks

it also bothers me that mongolia can attack over the great wall one way.....the wall was there to keep mongols out.....though i guess its now in ruins

I think you can use words like

Econ. centers

instead of pictures

As a Chinese, I can hardly understand your meaning by using 3 Taoism logos

all the continents hav numerous borders and not many territories. it seems that many will be fairly impossible to hold due to the sheer number of borders on everything.

tell me what you don't like about the arrows and then i can change them

it isn't mongol its nei mongol, thats china, and its not what is meant to be in history it is if there would be war right now

just give me pics i can't find them with those words and i don't like putting only text on it that is confusing

Something I just noticed is there are 29 territories, which you can't divide with 3, 4, 5 or 6. If you add just one more territory, you'll only get neutrals in a 4 player game.

Some of your borders are looking a bit jagged, the Shenyang/Dead territory border in particular. You could probably use a bit more definition in the legend as well. A small shadow or outline to the text will perhaps fix it up. Apart from those little things, the map is shaping up nicely Wisse. :D
