U can redraw the border more to the south and then u'll have Zagreb on the north and Karlovac on the south. Also, Belovar is Bjelovar if u want to keep this name of the territorry.
2. Poszega is ok but it will be more correct to call it Slavonia or Slavonien in German
3. Lika-Kravaba does not mean anything. Kravaba does not exist. U can call it only Lika. Krbava (u wrote Kravaba) is river in Lika
4. Dalmatien- it's ok if u want to have german names, but also u can call it Dalmatia
Zagreb should be in the right place now. Bjelovar was fixed.
Pozega borders were changed from the old version, is it good now?
Krbava removed.
Dalmatia fixed.
Industrial Helix wrote:Wow that is a beautiful update. Something about the mountains though... I think the shadows are too dark and nothing else on the map has that level of darkness. They could use some more integration with the land as well... like a smoother transition from land to mountains. And the river is too uniform to fit with the very natural look of this map... so vary it in width in some places I think.
Mountains have now a lighter shadow. The river, i know it sucks. I'll take care of it asap. Also the lake
Industrial Helix wrote:As for gameplay, shouldn't Tolna be Buda as Pest is on the other side of the river?
Buda is placed inside pest, what is labelled with tolna on the map are
Fejer and Tolna merged together.
Some places or borders could be slightly changed for gameplay reasons, you know.
Industrial Helix wrote:I feel like Austria ought to be more defensible given that it was the dominant state in the Empire. I figure, with historical maps, the areas that were dominant ought to be the more logical bonus a player ought to go for... in this case, its more like a transilvanian or Galacian empire. What about dividing Austria into two smaller, easier to attain bonuses? Or just increasing the impassables or fudging the borders.
Given the above, maybe reduce Galacia by 1 so the bonus is 2.
I've modified the borders, now kustenland border only with carniola, so austria has a total of 4 borders to defend.
Galicia is 3 because the distance from the austrian throne; you need to pass through 3 to reach the throne, on the opposite austria and hungary were lowered by 1 for the same reason.
I thought about to focus more on austria and hungary, i came up with a strange idea using adjusting reinforcements, but it was something too tricky...
Anyway if you have a good idea playing with bonuses / reinforcements, etc ...

Done
Industrial Helix wrote:The dynamics of the thrones should be interesting and positive. I think it will prevent a player from stacking in an easy bonus and scoring the win. Players, I think, will need to fight two fronts, one for quick and easy bonuses and the other for the thrones. Any idea what kind of neutrals they will be packing?
I think and Autodeploy of 1 ought to be sufficient as we don't want the stacks to get too high too quickly as to make the thrones impossible to secure.
About neutrals i was thinking about 3 for Upper austria, moravia, tolna, bacs bodrog, bihar. The same for lower austria and pest? they give access to the thrones, maybe 4 instead of 3?
Thrones must have higher values, i think. 5/10?
Dual monarchy, i thought about it with a bigger value at the start (15?), then it resets to 2.

Added.
More thoughts about values are welcome!
