Actually, it is Empress Victoria, the first ever empress of India. Although she did reign as Queen of the British Empire. I'm picky like that, .

You are in my opinion, CCs' best asset, when it comes to maps.
I like all of your maps, and this one looks to be one of your best.

Most of my concerns have already been discussed but the big one that just bugs me is the ability to fortify 4 terts and get both a continent and a railroad (Madras Presidency and Madras-Bombay). As I think about it, I'm led to a previous discussion about the bonuses of Calcutta-Delhi and I'm less and less convinced that the railroads are a positive on this map-at least from a gameplay perspective. Essentially what we've got is 3 railroad bonuses-2 of which will essentially add to a continent bonus and do little else.

can't really see anything wrong with it, looks very final forge ready.
If you want a nit-pic the only thing I can think of is the border between Pegu and Tenasserim. There is some fat dot or something on the border, you could get rid of that if you want.
Great map,

barterer2002 wrote:The British fort at Madras was there from (I think) the seventeenth century or so and was well expanded by the time period of this map. I'm interested in your idea of a sea line from Madras over to Calcutta. Doing this would bring you back up to 5 terts that you have to hold to get the bonuses without making this particular railroad a 1 which almost makes it worthless except as part of the continent bonus. If you want to stay with the idea of having the railroads worth something from a starting and game play idea then it needs to stay at +2 IMO.
