do you think it is finished like that?
don't you think norway should be divided in two continents?
and maybe some more parts in the baltics?

the circles are different sizes, i know, this is just preliminary to verify that these are good colours and positions. if i put a name over a few borders, that means that these countries should be merged.

I like it... It needs mountains and stuff to make it playable.

I added some borders and removed some others...
gonna add some mountains later...
great job with the names and all...
did you do it as a layer so you can place it over this map?
and I also added some circles on my map, use yours or mine, doesn't matter to me.

give me tips and ideas on where to add mountains and where to add connection lines.

and also if there is some more merging that needs to be done, or splitting.

get rid of those lakes in sweden if ur not using them as uncrossables, they interfere. Also those army bubbles look odd for this kind of map.

Unbalance your continents.. no one wants all the bonuses the same.. Get rid of most of the north and south continents...

the numbers are just there to show how the numbers look like...
I'm open for suggestions about the actual values.

what did you mean by get rid of, should I make the continents larger or just call them something different?

Well those mountains are anything but realisticly placed. It's not like there there actually is a giant mountains on the borders.
My point is if you can't do it realistic then don't do it at all.


If you absolutely need something between the borders, there are a couple of rivers that might be used : pasvikelva and possibly glomma.


And I suggest you divide Norway into regions like, west, east, center and north.

show the ocean connections. I think you need to connect S. Finland to Baltics and S. Finland to N. Swedan and/or South Sweden as well as the obcvious, Denmark to S.Sweden.

Cant u come up with better names than north and south of countries?

Thanks...
well, someone told me to add mountains and I did...
then someone else told me that if the mountains wasn't realisticly placed I shouldn't have them.
and someone says that there has to be mountains to make it playable.

and so on...
I can help if someone tells me what to do, but I wont make any more decitions. this wasn't my map to begin with... so I'm leaving this for now. but if you want help to finish it or want the files with all the layers just tell me.
