Looking MUCH better now! :D

As for adding an extra territory, I think that you should maybe split Newfoundland up again into Labrador and Newfoundland....

It seems a bit awkward to have "Western United States" going as far east as Oklahoma, though...with Central U.S. just over it. Maybe include Wisconsin and Missouri in Eastern US and add Texas to Oklahoma or something? Just throwing some ideas around...

Just two minor spelling errors. Ottowa -> Ottawa, and Louisana -> Louisiana.

Other than that, though...it should be good! Now all we have to debate about are the mountains and rivers... :mrgreen:
Currently on vacation. Sorry.

Ideas are good! And the main reason for Wisconsin and Missouri being central is that in my mind I took the ones west of the Mississippi River and made them central, I could always flip it around though[/code]

I will comment it now.

1st, continent names:
Western US should be Southwestern US; Canada is not a good name also, because Canada is the whole country.

2nd, countries:
I think you should even delete Bermuda and Bahamas. Two access routes to Tropics are enough, if it has a little bonus. You can put another route from Sierra Madre to Nicaragua, for example. The better places to more countries are in Mexico and Sierra Madre. Greenland and North Canada are also good locations. you also will have a hard work about the non-crossing borders. Some continents are impossible to hold, Central United States, for example... Would be good create some non-border countries now... not border countries.

3rd, graphics:
Much better now... The boxes for the names, however, are shit. We will need some thinner, more accurate borders, too... there are great spots in some places. The number of Baja California could be over the ocean, its not good where it is. Put Greenland closer to the continent, even if its not really true. And the legend should be smaller, and the name positions are not good. I can make a legend to you, if you want.

In a near future, I can discuss the bonus for the continents. :wink:

Looks like a great map but I'd have to agree that the boxes for names aren't very appealing and take away from the map.

And I think the 'Canada' as the name for the Red countries fits fine. Unless someone can think of a better one, I think it will work splendidly.

I look forward to playing it,

is it me or is the map not a lil too long? it takes up the majority of the page. and i fear that if you made it smaller reading the names may become hard.
