The two ??? areas in France are Brittany (Bretagne) in the west, and the northeast one is kind of Picardie or Calais.

Connecticut needs connections (hehe)

The border between L2, L3, Iroqouis2 and Penns needs clarifications, as it comes to a point

Attack routes are required from GB and France to (and possibly from) their ships, which will alter their bonuses significantly

And attack route across the English Channel would probably be a good idea for game balance

I planed to have england and one of the french territories be able to attack the ships but I forgot to draw them.
As far as the attack routes across the channel, most of the fighting in the war took place in the colonies and not in eurpoe so I wasn't sure if I sould make one.

The dimensions are weird but you can fix that later. I like the idea!

The french forts seem like they would be immpossible to hold though. MAbey you should make them into smaller bonuses.

Does anyone know if I am missing something? Do I need to have the XML done by this stage or does that come later?

I know you said not to talk about the spelling, but it's "Virginia".
I like the idea in general, but a couple things:

1) What is the point of having Ireland?
2) As said before, the Frenchies look to hard to defend
3) You have Iroquois 1, Iroquois 2, I. 2, and I. 3. You probably wanna fix that up

Good start!

***You do not need the XML yet***

[Moved]

It would appear that development of this map has stalled. If the mapmaker wants to continue with the map, then one of the CAs will be able to help put the thread back into the Foundry system, after an update has been made. ;-)
