Middle America Map {Advanced Draft} ~ NEW UPDATE 2.3!!

[Marvaddin]

Really, final forge

Plus:
1) Lets add something to the space over the legend?? Maybe something aztec. Or a spanish shield?

2) We can use some little adjusts to the bonuses. Mexico have same number of borders and routes of Central America, and 1 more country, but a smaller bonus. I suggested already some changes, maybe you can think about.

3) How about change the position of some names? If you move Zelaya a bit down, you can move Honduras a bit far from Peten. And Jamaica a bit to the left, so you can put Haiti under the circle and connect the routs to that Haiti "arm". Well, I dont know if this would make it looks better, maybe you could test.

4) The border countries of SA are all connected to exactly one country. And in fact the expansion from SA is pretty easy... maybe you could add a route between Venezuela and, hmmm... Puerto Rico? (Or other country?)

5) Im a bit worried. Will be easy to realize Virgin Islands belong to Lesser Antilles with the numbers over it? Maybe an island out of the circle could be useful.

Great map, cant wait to play

Discworld has a huge problem like that.. I agree.

beautiful map.

[Fireside Poet]

Something with Blackbeard for the legend background (like the skull and crossbones) would be fantastic! (opinions are nearly worthless tho) -- great map and excellent work.

Your map is beatiful...I can't wait to play.

This map kicks ass.. Sorry, I don't really have anything else to add..

Final Forge

---The Caribbean Map has reached the ‘Final Forge’ Stage. I've revived this thread from the pits of the Foundry furnace and have examined the contents. Nearly every major concern has been addressed. If there are any other current concerns, please make your voice heard. There will be two days for you to post any objections; if no one has posted any protest after two days the map will be deemed finished with the 'Foundry Brand' of approval and will be submitted for live play. If after two days there is still discussion going on it may continue until said discussion has reached the conclusion that the map has reached its final and polished version.

Post questions and concerns if any.

And to start things off, I notice that a few of the army shadow circles seem to have different proportions, or at least to my eyes.

---Take Durango and Texas. The circles visually look different in size. As do a few others.

Edit: I checked and they seem to be different sizes.

(P.S. Nice to finally put another map in Final Forge)

They look like that but they really aren't. i checked

Love the map, but the sharks look like their floating in the sky to me...

I didn't notice the sharks, but yes. Now that i see them they do look like flying sharks. But what's wrong with that?

hmmm... you seem to be right... Baja California, Durango and Chihuahua are larger... i'm correcting that in the next update...

1)... 5)

1) i was thinking about adding something there, and maybe i can change the flying sharks...

2) maybe changing Mexico's to 6? what do you think?

3) good catch, i'm changing that

4) yeah, i had noticed that... i think i will add the route between Venezuela and Puerto Rico

5) (same as no. 3)


i'll also work on the small version...

[Marvaddin]

Oh, well, little movement here in last days...

I agree with your other bonuses, but I would give Mexico a 7. Adding one more route, you can give South America a 4.

[maritovw]

does anyone have another comment/idea?? cause i don't feel like making lots of little updates to change only a small thing... i'd prefer updating many things at once

[happysadfun]

You could make the border between El S and Managua clearer.
