I would say the India map may be a good add'on, the 2 others are already well represented in the current map list.

Also the Indian one could be a Diwali special, Diwali being an Indian festival. :D

Thanks for the suggestions!

I might make some changes to the map. These changes are:

-Adding more provinces in Gujarat, Odisha/Orissa and Madhya Pradesh (I do have maps, but didnt update them.)
-Adding more connections to the "Seven Sisters" bonus, as they are like Australia in the classic Risk map, with only 1 connection.
-Improving the appearance of the map
-Changing the bonus sizes (I think they are too small)

I have found the one for Odisha, no results for Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. I plan that Gujarat be 3 provinces and Madhya Pradesh 4 or 5.

And they will be seperate bonuses.

Love the India map. As Icepack has already said we don't need more BI & Europe maps.

Time to add a lot more details. I suggest looking some other posts in the drafting room or beta testing. Starting positions, game play, goals, special rules and theme.

The top map is a map of potential starting positions. These are:

Vijayanagar (yellow)
Bahmanis (teal)
Gujarat (light yellow)
Malwa (gray)
Delhi (lime green)
Bengal (sky blue)

The bottom map introduces changes to the current map.

You do realize that while the map could be a worthy addon, it will never get past the "quality checks" with current graphics...

Well, for starters, try not to use Paint, lol. Use GIMP (free) or Photoshop. These are a complex programs which you will have to master in order to produce quality graphics. Thankfully, there are a lot "map making" tutorials on the web so it shouldn't be too hard to get used to.
