I have a feeling people won't like it... it's supposed to make for relatively quick games....

25 territories
3 continents

Hello?

No one's home.

-photos at the top are bad
-the textures on the bottom cont. and the middle cont. are pretty ugly.
-im not sure that having only 3 continents will actually lead to 'quicker' games. it seems to me that it would be very hard to get a continent and get bonuses to give you an advantage. therefore people will be dealing with the 3 bonus armies for many turns and that will slow the game down.

Quench it!!!

Hehe, your feelings were correct...

How could it be designed for shorter games with continents that have at least 4 borders? And the continents are like 1/3 of the map. Would them really be holdable in games with 5-6 players? In fact, I think 32 should be the minimum amount of countries in any map.

Ooooh, and its too ugly, too.

However I feel some potential. Make the image bigger (the playable area, I mean), add more countries, at least 5 more, and create at least 2 more continents... It can become a map.

Ok, I'm working on a new one. I have a topographic map and countries with transparent fill.... good idea?

I don't like the Baltics one. Sorry

Yeah, but that one sucked. Come back later for the new one.

Get rid of the current textures and make them more subtle. Remove pictures. Add the rest of Europe to wherever it should be, even if it's just a black, correctly-shaped mass. LABEL the three countries/continents.

Other stuff, too.

DON'T GIVE UP! Ask for graphics help if you need it, or illegally download programs if the task requires it. I support you in your efforts.

Better?

Upper Lithuania- 5
Lower Lithuania- 4

to tiny

put kalingrad in the orange

I think the idea of Baltic States could be interesting...but why not 'zoom' in even more, and make a larger country map. Right now, the amount of countries feels too small...

Kaliningrad is not part of the Baltic States. It's a part of Russia. I wouldn't include it at all.

I don't think so, because then Lower Lithuania would be yellow, and the yellow is very similar to the green

Where do you suppose I should make more countries? I've got to basically start over, but that's OK because this wasn't hard.

All areas. I'd really just like to see a more zoomed in and focused map of the area...as long as you can include all the Baltic States. Splitting up some of the countries into others, and making a larger map of the area could be interesting.

Does anyone know how to make an image bigger in Inkscape? I have GIMP too but it didn't work well for the kind of map I was aiming this to be....

2.01

You can even make it a bit smaller, to add legend, etc. But your other images was really tiny, so its making difficult to add more territories to the map. And I agree about not using any russian area.

How about if you try with 5 continents, friend?

2.11

Added legend... that's about it.

It's got 30 territories, where do you reccomend I split them?

Remove Kaliningrad...it's not part of the Baltic states...and why are you using French!?

Looks promising. Needs a fair few more countries though. 36-40 would be great. I think both Lithuania and Latvia could do with more territories.

And this map could help you in this task:

Instead of having the bonus names in the back, color code the legend.

It needs more territories too.
