why don't you have utrecht as a bonus?
that makes gelderland smaller and better playable ;)
and mayby the river de rijn could be in it?

With that attitude you won't do any good. But I wish you good luke anyway. Only geographical it is not welldone. Some borders ain't right, such as NoordOostpolder belongs to Flevoland and ZuidHollandse Eilanden belongs to Zuid-Holland.

But why don't you like the BeNeLux map? Maybe you're suggestions will be usefull to us.

Anyway, I like the idea of a map of the Netherlands.

Why this map ?????

The Benelux Map is stil under discussion

I don't get it

If you want to score with a map I don't think that this is the way.

I think that I could do it better

Why ?

i think the graphics need a lot of work the playability has potential is it possible you could make all the colours slightly darker so it is more pleasing on the eye. Also perhaps change the font colour can be hard to read in places but i would like to play on this one.

I see nothing wrong with having a Benelux map and a Holland map. Both of them would be welcome.

you are right but i still think the graphics need a lot of work perhaps make the sea darker but the playability looks good with the continent bonuses that have been suggested

it is clear and should be kept simple but it still needs to be attractive so people will want to play it. Also for someone with bad eyesight it is hard to read the writing on the continents noord nederland and utrect. These are only minor changes and it is a good map.

The map's visually allright, but I honestly don't see a need for this with the BeNeLux map. You could argue that we have multiple versions of other areas, but these are pretty indistinguishable, your talents could be better used on a different map/area.

Go to:

There you will find the Topic: How to make a map.

By the way, the Dutch flag is up-side-down. Red must be above.
