No, I still am ok with the 1st age map. But I must say that the map above is very good.

We have 2 world maps, 2 usa maps, so <sarcasm> now we should have 2 Middle Earth maps! How creative! </sarcasm>

Seriously, how about something new?

You cant offend me, vic :wink:

Well, if you can do a good map that is not alike to the Middle Earth map we already have, and I dont know if its possible, unless you have some new features.

Agree. You will never be able to match the current Middle-Earth, the majority believe that is the best map to come out of the foundry.

hm, cool idea. of course if u want to get technical valinor was not a part of middle earth. it was almost another dimension or something. and i dont think there is enough to it to make it a map by itself.
Do you need an excuse to have a war? I mean, who for? Can't you just say "You got lots of cash and land, but I've got a big sword, so divy up right now, chop chop."

this is a smaller version there is more to the normal map but i cant find a picture,the lord of the rings risk picture is a very good one but its too big,but if we get the full version the map that i know and the one that makes more sense and would be more fun

thats good to i mean the one you showed its detailed but not detailed also and its a little complicated for some people,,,see the lord of the rings risk map is a very good one,it would work well for here,and is detailed and works good for this and is basically the original map but it has colors on it,i put the original one but its a smaller version that doesnt show mordor or haradrim,but idk if the risk map would be allowed,i hope it is allowed because that is a very good map which is a original,but colored

The point is, this exists already. It's the "Middle Earth" map.
