I bet you won Pedro. I always like maps I win on. I dunno, seems odd to me, I'll have to wait to see how things break down later in the game before I can vote.

I didn't win it. but at least had the real names of places in front of me to see where to put my bits on to take areas i had as cards.
no more hunting for the blair witch peninsular or some such bollox.

I'm not used to getting 7 reinforcements without a continent on my first turn.. that will take some getting used to.
I'm on 15 games so It shouldnt take long

OK FPT - I did win it.
What I like most about it:
1. place names that exist.
2. text used - white with black outline - visible clearly on any colour background and the font is a; no nonsense, clear to read, one.
3. when in final move of the game (Escalating cards) ... it requires very careful placing of pieces (move 0 armies into a conquered territory) to go round the board without 'painting yourself into a corner' - I had to use the larger map button to make sure of attack directions many times.
4. It's a
big map.
5. Did I mention that I won?

He's right Doogey, fantastic map, geographicly it's near perfect.
I would name the part between Alberta/Sasckatchewan and north west territories as "Wood Buffalo" and Nunavik as "Northern Quebec". Just because that's more currant discriptions of what they actually are politically even though "manning" works ok there.
I think it's funny that the maritimes got named French Canada. Ha ha ha. If you meet a Newfie and he know you did that he or she might beat you down.
I also love how Toronto isn't on there.

I would mention it's hard to see the mountains, or whatever those brown blurs are supposed to be, when you're up at midnight playing RT.

Well, this map seems ok until now, I didnt finish a game yet...
One thing is clear to me, I feel I was right about trashing that terrible first version, do someone remember it?

This map looks pretty good too. Not sure why there's mountains between
Alberta and Saskatchewan though. And if you're not going to split the
North West Territories why use the Name of the new province they
created from the split? Strange rename for Texas to the gas station.
