make it 2 green areas, 2 white areas and 2 red areas, i don't like the pink at all
if you look at the mexican flag, the colour scheme used on the map makes perfect sense.
as for the map itself, I have no complaints.
Neither Do I

Anyone care to confirm my grammar?
You are so damn right
Let me change it right now.

I'm having trouble with the same block of text. I think I'd lose the word "form" and break it up a bit...
"Ports are not included in continent bonuses; they can attack other ports in the same sea."
I'd like to see the borders in the inset map pop out a little bit more - something about the inset makes it hard to look at. Maybe the red is too radioactive looking?

Re: MEXICO V5 (P1&5-17MAR08) [I]
Hmm I don't like that blown up Anillo Central region. I think it will be confusing for many players.
Can't that region be modified to fit in the main page?
Also the colours of the regions don't look very good either. I know you're trying to replicated the Mexican flag but I think they could be improved by adding better looking shades of the same colours.

I don't really agree with this. Bamboo Jack uses a similar feature, and that is far more awkward to work out what goes where.

In fact I never play Bamboo Jack.
P.S. - There was a post after my previous one that got deleted. How come?

Re: MEXICO V5 (P1&5-17MAR08) [I]
I wanted to carry on the discussion about the bonuses, particularly for the Sur and Golfo regions. I try to get bonuses based on how many territories you need to defend to hold them. The Sur region, currently worth +2, requires you defend all 3 territories to hold it. The Golfo region, currently worth +3, only requires defense of 2 territories to hold the bonus.
Is this consistent with other maps? I personally would make a strategic decision to set-up somewhere besides Sur.
This is just a point that merits discussion. I really like the map, and I think the blow-up of the central region is an interesting feature.
Best,
Laci

Look again, with the port, you need to hold 3 borders for the Golfo region. And the extra territories within it make it a +3.
This needs an update, I was looking forward to it!

it is visually striking, isn't it?
there needs to be a key to say that GTO is guanajuato, QRO is querétaro and DF is distrito federal, since most people don't know these abbreviations. we can create some space for the key by making the map taller.

Re: MEXICO V5 (P1&5-17MAR08) [I]

Re: MEXICO V5 (P1&5-17MAR08) [I]

Re: MEXICO V5 (P1&5-17MAR08) [I]
I've avoided saying this for several weeks now: fumandomuerte has disappeared from the Foundry and has not been seen for at least a month. Let this map hit the furnace unless the mapmaker says otherwise.

This is a very nice classic style map. Cannot wait to play it!
Re: MEXICO V5 [I] [VACATION]
i will be taking over this map for a short while while fund. gets on with RL, he's very busy right now but i honestly love this map so much that i dont want it to die so i will be updating it in this thread. hopefully fund. will soon realise that there is no life outside of CC and come back to finish this off 
im just keeping it alive until he is less busy
ok lets get the comments rolling!

Re: MEXICO V5 [I] [VACATION]
You have the psd (or raw) file and are going to do graphics updates? You have complete control of the progress? Or are you going to work through fund.?
