As I travel around CC doing battle on all the various maps I notice several countries, and regions, that appear on multiple maps. Just wondering if anyone knows which one appears on the most.

At a guess, I'd say USA - primarily because of the USA-six-pack...

There's another thread around here somewhere, about this exact topic. However, I don't know where it is, what the answer was, or whether the answer has changed (due to new maps) since then.

I think that Europe and European countries is big advantage.
42 maps have some story with Europe(if im count good)

The entire country has to appear on the map, or just parts? USA map pack doesn't include USA in it's entirety, but it's certainly in the theme. And of course there is also a virtual GB map pack.

If entire country doesn't need to be included (just included or central to the map theme) then USA is on:

Classic
Arm's Race
American Civil War
Doodle Earth
Duck and Cover
Extreme Global Warming
Land and Sea
New World
North America
Rail USA
US Senate
USA
USA map pack (6)
USApocalypse
World 2.1

Which is a total of 20. US cities and other regions are included on many more maps, but they are not really themed around the country. USA map pack is somewhat questionable to include, so take that for what it's worth.

For comparison, here is GB/British Isles
Classic
British Isles
Doodle Earth
Duck and Cover
Eastern Hemisphere
Europa
Europe
Europe 1914
Extreme Global Warming? Not sure if that counts since it's labeled Scotland
New World
Rail Europe
WWII Western Front
WWII Europe

Wales/Scotland/Ireland are comparable to USA map pack perhaps? GB is less of a theme though for these.

For sure I'd say GB has 12 or 13, possibly could be considered 16. Either way I'd say USA has the most based on these results. Anyone else want to check Egypt? That's one of the few that I think could pull a surprise victory. Let me know if I missed any!

Oops, yes of course. Though I'm sure you meant to say GB is on World 2.1. You really need to check though? I thought you had that map memorized!

So GB has 13 for sure, maybe as high as 17? It gets tough with maps like Land and Sea as well, which have GB locked to a European land mass. I personally don't think that counts.

Great lakes - missing from your list sully.

GB and USA are also on the Arctic map

Texan Wars, Prohibition Chicago, NYC, San Francisco and Dustbowl have American based themes too if you are going down route too. :)

I thought about the Great Lakes, but it doesn't cover enough of America (or the theme of America IMO).

The arctic does indeed include GB, but not the US. Only Alaska/Canada are on the map.


Once you get into cities/states/regions the US certainly has more inspired maps than any other county as you pointed out.

I meant the country as a whole.

I did not have to check, and did not check...and I did mean to say Great Britain. :D

So it is looking like the US overall, though fairly close with GB.

Keep in mind those were the only two tested :lol: But they ARE the most obvious guesses, so we can just stick with our assumptions and never find out if they are incorrect!
