Should be: Cape Breton, not cape brenton.
Should be St. John's, not Saint John ( in Newfoundland)
Suggestion for Evangeline: Annapolis Valley or Evangeline Trail
Suggestion for Sunrise Trail: Halifax, Antigonish, Guysborough

It's looking really good though. I'm not great at figuring out borders. I am really good at making suggestions once someone else has filled in the blanks. Any other geography questions, I'd be more than willing to help out.

You can almost see my house... at the eastern tip of Cape Breton!

just curious, what exactly does unit_2 for this map?

i mean at least for japan he came up with the idea (not first since there were many others before him that suggested it), but here it's not even his idea since gozar suggested it.

the cities are the terits. just connect them with lines like the midkemdil map

and the colours represent the continents

oh and the province capitals give +1 as well as the national capital

all the continents:

no problem you start the general map and i'll pm you the terits.
i just need to google some more.

and even better if you like mountains do my country Romania. some of the nicest mountains are here.

How many territories on this one? Does not seem like many.

Also it should be "River Valley" in NB, not "River Falley"

Personally, I would still rather it have a more "maritimes" feel. Right now, Quebec seems to be the focus.

dimwit is another user. he made the doodle map. he's my multi. don't confuse me with me. ;)

as for you making the map...hmmm...i look at the image above and all i see is lp's work. not yours.


and to be ontopic.
i love the current state of the map. textures are great.

the minimap could use some fancier gfx and the border between water and the green dead terit is a bit pixelly with shades of white.

and the space between sea and dead territory is weird but i will come up with a solution :)

also could you perhaps mute the green dead space. it may be my monitor but as it is now it sort of has a plastic like glow.
