The accent is in a different place on Quebec between the map and the legend.

Montreal it's not adjacent to Quebec. , refer to your map. Also Quebec city it's incorrect please use "Quebec area" and same for Montreal. And it's possible to add "Laurentide".

Thanks

I think Annapolis Valley is a more fitting name than Evangeline Trail.

nomenclature can be sorted out as the map progresses - let's see the most recent play issues resolved. I think this map is close, and I'd like to stamp it and move on with my life! :wink:

I think the title area needs a little spice. Someting to give the feel to the map that it needs. Right now its fine, I just think you could push it a little further.

Really? You don't think there are enough small regions as it is? Most of this map is three-territory regions, and I'd rather see some variety.

Personally I would prefer to see a different solution, like giving a +1 auto-deploy for holding Montreal. You could also make Quebec City a smaller region (which would more approximate the size of a city) and give it a +1 as well. Or you could even have a sub-region within Quebec made up of both cities and give that a bonus, as in the Scotland map. ??

The answer is No, we DO NOT want a +1 bonus for one territory, it is unfair because they do not conect to more then 3 territorys.

Spliting Quebec is the best option other then +1 bonus, like i said we do not want a +1 bonus, we both don't like it.

Also Gimil, do you mean change the text or the glow?

I mean jsut generally giving some life to that corner, the title isnt doing justice and there more space to get a little more creative.

Ok Gimil, thanks for clearing that up for me, as soon as L.P gets back i'll talk to him.

Now what do you think about the +1 for the cities?

I am sure it is quite significant to some people.


true, although i’m sure that PEI is significant to even more people, in fact four times as many as labrador, yet PEI has only one territory to labrador's four. poor old PEI! anne of green gables must be turning in her grave at this favouritism toward labrador. in war, labrador, with only 15,000 male residents of all ages, would be incapable of raising a significant army. that’s one reason why it’s appropriate for labrador to be one single territory, so that it starts with the same number of armies as PEI instead of four times as many armies.

Lone.prophet wrote:labrador is as important as the rest


as explained above, it’s not four times as important as PEI.

Lone.prophet wrote:in the canada map labrador also isnt the same region as newfoundland


two wrongs don't make a right: if u keep separating them on every map, then some people will start to think of it as being actual fact. since newfoundland & labrador is a single province, it ought to be one continent. i'm seeing no overriding gameplay reason to split it into two. this is unlike quebec province, which is split into three continents (is four being suggested now?) because it is otherwise too big. with newfoundland & labrador as one continent of four territories, this map will, like the classic map, have three large continents the size of classic europe or north america and three small continents similar in size to classic south america.

the whole area covered by this map can be called either eastern canada or quebec & atlantic canada, though i think there’s nothing wrong with the gulf of st lawrence name. any of these three names is good.

L.P-

Maybe make a change to the order in the legend - clockwise, it could read:
Nunavik
Labrador
Duplessis
Newfoundland
Nova Scotia
New Brusnwick
South Quebec
North Quebec
(Duplessis could be place last to make it a clockwise spiral)

Or, maybe across:
Nunavik
Labrador
North Quebec
Duplessis
Newfoundland
South Quebec
New Brunswick
Nova Scotia

At the very least, make the Newfoundland colors match better between the map and the legend. I think that was my main confusion, so I started looking for a logical order. Newfoundland's legend color & location near the Nova Scotia territory also add some confusion.

Nice change for region, but "Louiseville????, St-Tile?????, La Baie????" refer to this map
http://www.comeexplorecanada.com/quebec/

Plse add Laurentides, and the correct name for La Baie is "SAGUENAY" (Saguenay is the principal city including La Baie and many others city)


Also Quebec to "Quebec area" and same for Montreal

Another suggestion Nunavik change to Great North

And if you want to see another map it's from the government of Quebec

Nice job color and the design of the map it's beautiful

It is a good idea to change the legand to one way not just thrown in there, also nice job but you forgot ot change the color on the legand for Newfoundland.

a four-continent quebec province does, i think, offer improved gameplay compared with a three-continent quebec. that was a good idea. credit where it’s due. it’s logical to make more use of the gulf of st lawrence as an impassable boundary by removing the bridge between the light brown and dark brown continents (saint laurent and charlevoix territories), otherwise the purported star of the show isn’t actually doing very much.

Take in consideration my previous message.

Also ST-TILE use ST-TITE

Also ST-TITE and Louiseville are include in Mauricie it's not reflecting the reality. Refer to the map.

ANTICOSTIE use ANTICOSTI

I leave in Quebec, excuse my poor english my first language is french.
