				The American Revolutionary War
A
B
latest map V9.0
Small
Large
V5.0
This idea was already posted by bryguy...
This version looks like the one from lux delux but I made everything myself...
Now it is 37 territories and I'm planning on making the bonuses
'England'
'France'
'America'
'British-America'
'France-America' (or something like this...)
'British fleet'
(the France boat (the green one) will be part of the France-American continent)
All those things can be discussed because I don't know a lot about this history...
Ok here we go

				great idea, and it should turn out looking pretty good, you'll have to come up with some unique ideas about forts and bonuses, this is really a map that could get way intoall the xml can do

				Interesting, but I suggest using Spain also, they had control of Florida and the Carribean as well.

				I was going to see what Revolution map this was, but then I saw it was the American Revolution... Can you please change the name to American Revolutionary, or something like that, to help make it clear what exactly it is..

One of the many other revolutions that's happened in history.
And I've noticed you changed the name, thanks  
 
This map reminds me too much of the Lux one, which kind of turns me off. Maybe have some more ships or something?

I'm trying to change the style a bit so it doesn't looks like the lux one...and I'm going to change some ships, I'll make a french and a britsh fleet. the white arrows now are only there to let you see what it will look like...

take a ship 

 , I'll add some ways to it once I get the fleet right

				its good, but most of the places are off,
1.maryland 
2.deleware is more rectangularish
3.u connected pennsylvania, new york, and new hampshire, whcih u should not do
4. where is rhode island???
5.virginia is also a little bigger at the top
6.i hope your not adding main in there as one of the original thirteen colonies of america, cause it wasnt.
those are all the places that i can see that are off for now.
oh and i think u should have a way to get from england and france to america

				I need some feedback about gameplay and about the territory names...so shoot right away 
 
And I don't need feedback about the font...I'm not working on it, I need 
names and gameplay issues/ideas
Version 5.0

				You should include Spain, they helped in the South quite a bit (they also had control of Florida).

				Firstly, I really like how this map is progressing. 
The only issue I have is that how are you going to fit army numbers in territories like New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut and RI? They seem really small. Maybe you could merge New Jersey and Delaware, and merge Connecticut and RI. That might give you some extra wiggle room for army numbers.

looks a lot better, thanks for adding rhode island. the only thing that i can see that is really off is that pennsylvania is to small in the top left corner
