How about to make a Caribbean map? You can find some ideas in that Sid Meyer game called "Pirates!"

well I have found that the map I want to use is harder to alter than I thought it should have been. Not that I am going to give up or anything...but I am finding it hard to divide the nations up into groups. After that I'll have to find point values for the nations. Any suggestions?

It IS a game, so it doesn't have to be 100% politically accurate. If you've got one super-huge country, and 12 tiny ones, maybe you should group some together and split up that big boy. Also, there are very few people browsing this forum that will criticize deconstructively, so posting what you've got so far never hurts.

I was actually kicking around the idea of doing up a Gulf of mexico map, with the Southeastern USA, the Carribean, that whole area. Perhaps if you can't get enough territories out of the actual country, you could think about that. Also, remember that up until very recently, the states of California, New Mexico, Texas, and probably a few others I forget (Arizona? Nevada?) were actually part of Mexico... You could do a 1700s version.

ok thanks for the help...I think texas, New Mexico, and maybe even some nations in South America will be added!

Here is what I have thus far. There will also be a Florida,and Cuba/Dominican Republic added to create a larger playing surface. Hope you like it.

hey, i can help you with some stuff chris, looks like the resolution needs to be better. (you can tell by how the picture is sorta blurry)

this map is divided in "delegaciones" you can modify it but you can base the map in the divisions

It has potential

by **Marvaddin** on Tue Mar 28, 2006 7:18 pm

Well, its good until now, but, again, how about expand it to a Caribbean map?

by **Squirrely45** on Wed Mar 29, 2006 5:46 pm

A Caribbean map would consist of what countries?

by **thegrimsleeper** on Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:00 pm

Oh gosh, I don't know... maybe the ones located in the Carribbean?

*Ok, ok, so that probably wasn't extremely helpful... It's called Google Image Search, and I used it to find this:

...........now ask me what I typed in the search field to find it.

...go ahead, ask me!

Mexico, Central America and some parts of South America and even of North America (Florida, for example).

Here is the map I was talking about, of the game "Pirates!!" (genesis version, in this case):

I think you can expand it a bit, so it can include all Mexico and Central America, more some parts of Colombia, Venezuela and USA. I think it can be a good map. The sea routes are even much easier to control than the land routes, in truth. Only a suggestion.

EDIT:
I didnt see thegrimsleeper post, I was writing already. His map is much more helpful than mine, but the idea is the same.

I may have to group all of the little islands together...but it looks promising to me. What then would you call the little islands grouped into one? The Caribbian Islands? like barbados, the virgin islands etc.

by **Marvaddin** on Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:18 pm

Hmmm, only look at your Atlas whats the most important island / country, and put its name... Or choose the name with the size you need :lol:

by **Squirrely45** on Wed Mar 29, 2006 8:33 pm

ok...sounds good. time to get crackin'

ok...sorry about the hold up people, but I have been EXTREMELY busy lately. Track is in full swing now so personal time is somewhat limited compared to before. I have been doing a little work on it, but not enough to show yet. I will, however, be taking some of the advice by adding to the map part of the caribbian islands. Only the more dominant names will be posted though. Thanks for all of your help thus far and hope that it'll turn out!
