i'll vote when i see a general idea, until then i avhe no idea

north america has a BUNCH of maps, so i want to see how you make this one significantly different.

if you use interesting boundaries and other mechanics i might fidn it a step away from the other north america maps.

I would probably be interested, but can you make a simple map on paint to give us an idea what it would look like, I think it is a great idea.

What I mean by using paint is to just take an image of whatever region you are going to make, and then simply draw a few lines to show continent borders, and then we will have smewhat of aoutline of what your planning to make. :) <---(andy's smile)

or mabye just put a map of the region that you will be making into a map, that way, there will not be as much confusion on the map, and people will see that it is not another america map, that would probably increase the popularity of the map.

Well many people don't like the american maps are commonly from other countries, and it seems almost greedy to be having so many maps about our region only.

I love NA map, but i think this will appeal to a good majority of CCers. Lack is from Quebec, which happens to be a major battle in the F and I war.

I think the one you have should be good, my only main concern is how it will fit on the game screen since it is a taller map.
