I posted long ago for it, but can someone with some skills make a New England map? I think whoever did American Civil War or Puget Sound could give it an authentic look.

Great Lakes covers nearly the same territory, so a standard map won't work. Whoever picks such a project up would have to add some New England flair to it or it won't go far at all.

if by 'Great Lakes covers nearly the same territory' you mean that you can see some of new england on the unplayable area of great lakes then you are correct.
Your reasoning here makes zero sense.

i agree, i wouldnt mind seeing a map of it made
i will try get an atlas map of some kind
EDIT:
i searched on google:
i think it could be done, i think it would be good with special gameplay features on, like dustbowl or something??

Sorry, I think New England I think that entire northeastern section of the US, though that's technically not correct.

I think you should leave this to someone FROM NE, like me, or else it will get botched.

I'm trying to get up to speed on mapmaking skills. Could take awhile but I could consult with someone already thinking about pursuing this project.

I'd be willing to take up a New England project. I'll draw up a rough plan.

Agreed... I'm locking this one up. Further discussion should continue in a the Ideas topic, or if somebody is going to take a stab at this they can start a new topic.
