And I am also late but there is an island of Krk incorrectly marked as a part of land territory in Istra, Croatia.
I mean it is an island, not peninsula, like it appears on the map.

What's wrong with not nitpicking on stamp placement for maps that are already quenched...

You need to make the four regions of Bosnia.
View "map four economic regions".
You did good job with others, only Bosnia and Herzegovina was different.
If you need help just write.
Good luck.

Sadly the time for making changes to the map has now passed - but bear it in mind should anybody choose to make another map of the area!

It seems this map isn't working properly, as per its description - Serbia doesn't give +5 bonus.



Edit: Other than that bug, I love the map.

Kosovo is required for the bonus.

Based on Game 12606748, which it appears you're referring to, Kosovo is still neutral.

I understood from the map description that Serbia gives +5, and if you happen to occupy Kosovo, you get additional +1.

So basically, if you get Serbia (with Kosovo) you get +6? Then why the special bonus for Kosovo labeled in the map? It's not emphasized as Crna Gora's bonus for example, so I assume that bonus is tightly related with holding Serbia, and not Kosovo's stand-alone +1 bonus.

No, Kosovo is contained within the Serbia bonus. Kosovo on its own will give you +1; it's to do with the 2008 Kosovan declaration of independence (which took place during the development of the map).

Yes, I assumed it had relation with that, and I like how you managed to keep the map politically correct (I'm from Serbia so I hope that counts something).
I was just mislead by the "legends" (income description) that Kosovo was one of those "if you control region X, then with this you get additional +1".

You have a fair point - I suppose you could put it down as being a quirk of the map ;-)

If he has a fair point, then shouldn't something be changed? It would be nice for it to be clear ahead of time, instead of having to learn quirks.

I agree this should be more clear. If you hold serbia (including kosovo) is it worth +5 and +1 or just +5?

I've always thought this was unclear, would be good to fix it I think.

How could this be made clearer? I'd be happy to. change the XML to take Kosovo out of the Serbia bonus zone,if that makes sense enough?
