i think taht controlliong all 3 capitals has to have at least a 2 bonus because it are 3 territories arounded by 11 territories en belgisch brabant has a 2 bonus has only 2 territories around by 6 territories.

Anyways...back on topic!

I think your army shadows may be a bit too small. Do a test image with coordinates, as I think there might need to be some adjustment in size.

Also, consider 'fading' the country division lines a little, as they are a little jagged. Buff them to something a little softer perhaps.

You we're right. The army shadows are a bit too small. I will work on that and the country lines.

Thanks for you're suggestions.

Bonus for capitals +2 instead of +1
More attack routes, like Limburg - Belg.Limburg (already mentioned)

Is Flevoland connected to Friesland?

Yes, it is. And in the next update I'll make an extra attack route.

And Sebas84, are you from Wageningen?

Can you change the names of the sealand islands

G. Overflakkee without the "G.", so call it Overflakkee. Althougt it is not correct it sounds better.
The same for S. Duivenland, name it Duivenland.
And Zeeuws Vl. is also a strange name. maybe Saaftinge.

And call Waddengebied simply Wadden

Hello Nikita_2006,

First I wanne tell all members of CC that: NIKITA_2006 the first person was, who inspire me and other Dutch members of CC to talk about and later to make a map of the BeNeLux. It was the idea of Nikita_2006 and so my deep respect.

And of course I will change the names if you think that will sound better.
You're the inpiration source of the BeNeLux map. lol

MarVal

P.S: It will be done in the next update. I'm still working on the army shadows.

Nee kom uit groningen en kan vanuit daar wel 3 andere landjes aanvallen, wist je dat Delfzijl een grote haven heeft (hint..hint) en Rotterdam en Antwerpen ook?

I mean if you like it, you can connect these harbours with eachother (like the Philippines map) for extra gameplay. But it could be to much 8)

First: Thats because of the playability of the map. Otherwise there we're too many attack routes between Zuid-Nederland - Vlaanderen. And in that area there no mountains (except Limburg - Liège) or rivers to block the attack routes between Zuid-Nederland - Vlaanderen.

Second: Now everybody can see the 3 seperate countries that presented together The BeNeLux.

Below the latest development of the map BeNeLux.

UPDATE 10
Larger map :

(Click to reduce to mapsize 500x380)

Some suggestions that were mentioned:

- Shorter countries names.

So let us know what U think about the map BeNeLux so far.
