No you are not, and Oh Shit! It's Dr. Tran!!!

Anyway, Indochina is hard to revamp because the average narrow minded idiot that takes it up wants to change its game play, as we saw last time someone tired to revamp that and I'm so happy that didn't work out.

I would be very open to an Indochina revamp that didn't mess with the gameplay.


I'd be happy with one that did, and that's Mr. Narrow minded idiot to you.

If you are changing gameplay, especially without the consent of the original map creator, you have a new map, not a revamp.

As much as I disagree with the gameplay on Indochina (maybe it's just me), I do agree that revamps should just be graphics and MAYBE changes the original mapmaker wanted to make due to changes in coding and such.

I am volunteering to revamp the Europe map.


I made my own thread for it in the map ideas forum. You can move/delete it if it shouldnt be there.

This is not a revamp as per say, but i think KEYOGI should dig out his Australia file and give the boarders a quick revamp. Ive noticed todays that they arnt all consistent :wink:

cant have our cartographers assistant with less than perfect maps now can we :wink:

One day, I'll give Australia an overhaul. There are a few things I'm not happy with in the map.

I don't feel theres any big problems with it. I like the feel it has. So an overhaul isnt really needed. Just a tweek :wink:

Thats very true. Never thought about it. There is a few maps that are so inactive there as well to be took off the site. But thats just my opinion. I also don't think that people hard work should be trashed because theres new, better maps to play on.

I feel as if Germany could use a revamp. Nothing serious, maybe spruce up the rivers, and maybe change the background colors so it's easier to distinguish which bonus is which when reading the key.

Maybe it's just me then. But I think the colors are hard to distinguish on the key.

I probably just need glasses....
