airport and seaport bonuses border each other and are in same region? Doesn't make sense, also why have regions is there is no region bonuses? Maybe move autodeplys away from each other and place an autodeploy bonus near the southwest and northwest of map if you arent doing region bonuses. If you are doing them, why have them next to each other in same region?

i have 0 in there, because i don't know what the bonus will be yet, lol. and i don't want to make random regions have autodeploys, that doesn't make sense. elizabeth and newark are in close proximity to each other

my point exactly....elizabeth and newark are NEXT to each other with autodeploys in the SAME bonus region....no good.

alright alright, leave it to you to pick out something minor at this point. i guess i'll find something for an autodeploy in each region, or else go with none...

It is not a minor point and something I was going to comment on. You don't have to have autodeploys for each region, but you shouldn't have two in one region, especially next to each other.

yea, i get it. i meant it wasn't important at this point in time, the map is still in the pot at the moment...

but isn't this where that stuff gets ironed out...idk

Is there a way to present this map with the graphics from the original map?

yes, i can remove the color overlay. should have some time tomorrow to post it...

I just want to say good luck. This is looking much better than your start. If you need help PM me.

Well, I've only ever known two people from N.J. One described herself as being from the Delaware Valley, and the other described himself as being from the Hudson Valley, so I wasn't actually making those up.

Atlantic Shore is a very common term used in travel magasines, and Leeward Shore is a perfectly plausible term for the opposite side. I see the names haven't been finalized, I think you might want to give my suggestion a second look.

Or not. It's ultimately your decision.

absolutely, i think i'll use the region names you provided.

i live in NJ....Del valley sometimes is used. I never have heard someone say they live in th ehudson valley unless they were from NY...wierd

[MOVED] to the drafting room. This is looking a lot better. I think this could benefit greatly from some impassable's as well.

home tomorrow, trying to get some help, then i'll drop an update.

what kind of help?

give the man a handy!

ok, new map posted. i changed the look and feel a bit, wanted it to look more like an old map. map will only have 1 auto (trenton) instead of 5.

working on possibly adding some impassables. also need region names, and bonus amounts.

stay tuned...

I like the color scheme, and it gave me an idea for your impassables--how about urban legends like sewer alligators, rat kings, jimmy hoffa grave sites etc?

i like the look

NJ has tons of rivers....there are your impassables as well

question... how do i determine region bonus? is there a formula, or do i just wing it, try to make it realistic? any help would be appreciated....

i believe region bonuses are determined by amount of lands bordering the region/routes to break bonus.

one of th emap guys can verify this but I thought that was standard formula

Try this. This is an excel spreadsheet to help with determining the bonuses.

update - added impassables, updated key, added bonus values
