Is West Zaire connected to Zambia?
If it isnt, it should be (or East Zaire should be connected to Angola, even better).

I hate to say it, but that is a fairly good, idea, as the colours of the West Coast and the Horn are quite similar. Also, Marv, well done for spelling 'Zaire' correctly! (hint hint :wink::lol:)

OK the west coast and the horn are similar, but they are on opposite sides of the map, I don't think anyone is going to have a problem. With a name like WEST COAST everything is going to be OK.

... All these maps!!

... I'd bet CC players have a better knowledge of world geography than the average American college graduate!

... I mean... who knew where the hell Kweichow was before playing the Asian map here? And who ever even heard of Mysore in India? :lol:

... I feel so smart.

if i added thoes coutries then i would have to do more xml and changing of the map. plus i would have to decide which territory they belong to and a bunch of other stuff that would just take a long time. thanks for the suggestion. while im here im just wondering if anyone on conquerclub plays Metroid Prime Hunters online for the Nintendo DS. If you do let me know and tell me your friend codes!!

Yeah, I know! Before playing here, I'd never even realized that Korea was a part of Japan!

The yellow continent in the legend is still rather hard to read, green is also pushing it. Both would've benefited from sort of outline lettering. But other than that I like it and look forward to playing it.

I disagree - can't imagine anyone not being able to read this. Andy, is it that you can't read it or you imagine someone else having trouble? I usually trust your judgment. Great job Little Waddling Dude, or whatever your name is. Looking forward to playing the map!

Looks really intresting, but I too have a hard time seeing yellow and green in the legend. I can see what it says, but it looks really dizzy...

To his and her their own. I'm just saying it would've been a benefit for everyone to outline, considering the bright yellow on a bright blue, and the green also. Finishing touches always make the map even better and better! But it is still a rather good map.

Edit: Ah if you did then, I'll just wait and see how the legend was updated. Perhaps my posts have no place if you've already implemented them.
