I really enjoyed reading Eragon and Eldest, and I initially thought this map would be a great idea.
But then I thought a bit deeper. Problem (1) is that there are only two real countries on Alagaësia: Surda and the Empire (and I suppose the forrest). The books are made in such a way that the Empire covers almost everywhere, with no distinguishable borders. (2) And anybody looking at the map can see the vast amount of open space in the middle and the Hadarac. (3) There are a lot of cities on the map in Alagaësia, but cities are not really condusive to good Conquer Club maps.
I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but this map just wouldn't really suite a CC map. (Unless, of course, it was altered drastically).

:shock: I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
It doesn't matter about the countries! The bonuses could be for like surda, the forest, the beor mountains, and the coast. The hadarac desert could just be a middle place that connects to a bunch of places like the quad in conquer club university. Her'es a map of it.

i've been thinking of working on this project and found it fun to devise a map.
alagaesia:
my map
it has 48 territories( i though this would be good for those 3,4 and 6 player games) with 6 empires, one of them being quite large
any thoughts suggestions ideas?
edit: i also now realized i didn't name a territory
