Question: Are they gonna be named "Rockies," "New England," etc. or "USA 6-Pack: New England," … ? Because I think it would be so so so much better to have them all in their little group like the classics/AoR, for example.

Sorry if this has been discussed before…

Really looking forward to trying these out.

Any idea on the ETA for these to become "Betas" for us to try

The legend says State Capitals so DC is not included

we should get the continent New England on the USA map changed to being called Northeast so we can have this map with a proper name instead of continuing a mistake.

I do agtreexwith you, but WM has said that he wants to keep it the same as the USA map. Still a mistake IMHO.

I don't think you read my post carefully. no need to respond to this just re-read my post again so you know what I'm actually saying.

I dont think its that big of a deal... afterall 'The Rockies' should be midwest instead, since 1/2 of that map is flat lands :lol:

All of the map names will stay the same as the bonus regions on the current USA map. If those change (I am sure they won't) I will update these.

Checking coodinates... geez, this is a lot of maps. :p

West large and small good.

Southwest good.

Rockies: Rock Springs is low on the large map, and Omaha may be high.
Cody and Sioux Falls are low on the small map.

Southeast: small and large look good.

Great Lakes: large and small good.

New England: small and large looking good.

Anyway, by the 12th map i was feeling kind of cross-eyed, so a second check by somebody else couldn't hurt. So fix up the Rockies coordinates and THEN you can have your XML stamp (which you seem to have already given yourself :-k ).

Seconded, I checked 'em in backwards order so we were less apt to make a mistake on the same map 8-)
So, final coordinate verdict (so far):
Rockies:
Large: Rock Springs = low, Omaha = high
Small: Cody = low, Sioux Falls = low

After those are fixed, you get my honk ;)
