Gives it a bit more of an edge I think. Maybe call it "The Founding of America" or something like that. Have you ever seen 1776? you might be able to add some intrigue in having to get all 13 colonies united. Maybe lock the later battles until all 13 colonies are in the hand of the "Americans" since thats what our goal was and start with some neutral territories in the colonies, the ones that weren't sure if they wanted to be part of a revolution yet. Could be really cool play if done right. I'll keep an eye on it and give some suggestions.

I'm sure there's something I'm missing. The inner battlefield idea is interesting, but the gameplay across the rest of the map needs clarification. And the map would be much easier to follow if you could plop an "88" every place that you intend to have a territory - less guess work.

Will the center netural be just 1? And you're sure this is possible with the xml?

you absolutely need to make a try with 888's army symbols in blue
because of the black border of numbers and the blue inside which isn't contrasted enough
(there wasn't any other option but it's a CC graphic default you have to work with)
If this is large map you also will have a lot of problems with army placement in "small" states

Also I appreciate variety in the game play, such as surrender. Regarding 'surrender', will it be very clear that going to that space means you are surrendering? I am remembering the times I took the wrong territory and have visions of taking that one and losing the game.
Someone did comment that there is another map on the same topic. There is plenty of room in CC for maps on the same topic.
Looking forward to many great games on this new map.
