Hmm... I dont think Maritov plays CC anymore, he hasn't played a game since 20-10.

How'd you figure that, is it a mod secret? I dont get why you would log in to CC but not play any games... weird.

This map is basically finished. The only thing that needs to be done is move the title a bit more to the upper right corner.

If the member who created it does not log on to CC anymore I propose quenching it and putting it live as I know that many people (me included) want to play this map.

Please give us your feedback Andy!

I'd like to see the army shadow of Jamaica moved a little to the left cause then once can see better which continent it belongs to. But maybe it works as it is.

Hmm, i dont know if im right but when i saw the map now i was thinking:
Shouldnt Panama & Colon "change place". I always thought it was the other way around :?

It's a little more than just that. Obviously XML would have to be done, the army shadows might be too small, and I'd to fix the placement of a few of those shadows, and perhaps fix a few difficult colors in the legend. I'll e-mail Maritov, perhaps more responsive there.

Wow, I like this map. My only concern is that the Greater Antilles look very exposed while places like South America and the United States are very protected. Perhaps make the Greater Antilles worth more?

Also, I wanted to say that I don't think either of the proposed names are just right. Obviously, the map covers a much larger area than just the Caribbean Sea. However, the southern part of the map would have been in the Spanish viceroyalty of Nueva Granada, not Nueva Espana.

Not that I have a suggestion for what else to call it...

I think Andy was going to mail maritov and see if he was going to continue the project himself or let others finish it.

One thing: You can't get to Louisana from Alabama without first crossing Mississippi.
