I'm happy to see it isn't a Hovering Map...I've always hated those! I and some others tried to convince Hoff to move away from the Hover...but it was to no avail!

but awesome job it definitely looks better, great job. I'll have to have a return sometime soon and give it a whirl, even though I've always done bad on the map lol.

Since it's a revamp, I'm not allowed to actually change how many territories the continents have or how they border other continents (no gameplay changes).
I can't believe I've forgotten my umlauts! These will all be fixed in the revision.

Hmm, so it's not possible to fix the chaos. I don't see a possibility to get a reasonable map based on the current one. Too much areas are cut by the borders and others are united wich don't belong to each other.
Maybe it would be the best to create a new map.
A compromise might be if you drop the unlucky names of the regions completely and use terms like "West" or "Southeast" in the USA map.
Information Requirements on the first post of a maps thread
1. The number of territories currently on the map.
2. The number of continents. (If this makes sense for your map)
3. Descriptions of any unique features or areas.

It looks like the bolded is what I'll be doing. Except for Bavaria. If I'm correct, that is an accurate German state.
So, more than anything, it seems like this is going to be a mainly graphical update.
Sorry for the late response

two things remain:
- we have to find another name for the yellow territory whis is named "Würzburg" right now, because Würzburg is a city in bavaria.
- and also: the German name is Bayern, not Bavaria.
cheers,
