^ thanks

On another note -- I've been real busy with other things, but I'm going to try to get the updates on my maps done by the end of this week.

[swetepete]

Really love this map, and the mini as well. Cheers, great job.

Hi,

I held SE Europe including Hungary at the sart of round 2 Game 11594311 but did not get the +4 bonus. I see an earlier post of the same nature which got the reply "you need hungary" but maybe he held it too).

Please investigate.

Cheers.

Your game is kind of foggy. There are 5 regions you have to hold. Did you hold all 5 of them?

I don't know much about mapmaking in terms of gameplay but this is probably the most beautiful I've seen so far.

I will ensure that natty dread know about your post, I'm sure he will be happy for your words.
And yes, this is a wonderful map!

Central Europe bonus isn't being awarded.

[crazymilkshake5]

Central Europe bonus isn't being awarded.

do you have Italy?

[AndyDufresne]

Central Europe bonus isn't being awarded.

Looking at your game (Game 11949202), Ogro, it is because you don't hold Italy. As you probably know, some regions are shared by bonus zones---like Iraq, Central India, East Sakha, etc. Italy happens to be shared by Central and Med. bonus zones...so you need to hold that as well to get your bonus.

I've got to say without question Eurasia is my favorite map @ CC! Thank you very much to everyone that created it!!!
graphics and typeface are outstanding.

IF, I could wish - I would want a 2nd version of Eurasia 2.0 with these changes:

* mountains to close off Baikal from North Nei Mongol
* mountains to close off Qaraghandy from Uzbekistand & Kyrgyzstan
* move the bridge from Novaya Zemlya/Arkhangelsk to Novaya Zemlya/Komi (Komi & Perm seem to be the least battled areas on the board)
* give 2 men bonus for Africa

just my 2 cents worth
I don't expect this to every happen but I think these would increase the playability of the center areas on the map as starting points

It's a very good map, but I would like to request that the name of the territory titled 'Taiwan R.O.C.' be changed to 'Taiwan'.

None of the other territories have been given political names (e.g. 'North Korea' is not called 'DPRK'), so I feel it is a little unnecessary to use a political name for possibly the most contentious territory on the board.

'Taiwan' is a perfectly acceptable and politically neutral name for the territory. Maybe it wasn't the map-maker's intention to be provocative, but they have been and I would recommend that this is remedied out of consideration for those who may be offended by the use of the 'R.O.C.'.

Hello,

Sure, thanks.

[mrswdk]

What news?

[mrswdk]

natty says it's fine

[thenobodies80]

Yes, I have permission from natty to change his map if necessary.

The point (and also his question) is: "it is really necessary?"
I mean, if someone can be offended by the use of R.O.C., it could be also that someone could be offended by the fact we will use just Taiwan?
Afaik, ROC it's the official name. (note: I don't want to offend or be provocative )

[mrswdk]

Nah, 'Taiwan' is a neutral term that doesn't carry any political significance. It's just the name of the island.

ROC is the full name used by those who consider Taiwan to be an independent country, and usually the only time someone would say 'Taiwan ROC' is when they are trying to make a deliberate political statement.

(and seeing as you raise the question of whether or not Taiwan ROC is the official name: fyi, as far as the UN and almost every government in the world are concerned, Taiwan is part of the People's Republic of China and therefore the ROC does not exist. People are, of course, entitled to their own opinions though ).

[thenobodies80]

If rename it just Taiwan would not cause other possible complains, i will change the map and I'll propose the result to natty before posting it here. It's his map afterall
