You also do realize it is based off a game? I did not choose the shape of it, only the indide is made up

i voted randomly in oen of them

I go with Galapagos over Westeros because of the uniqueness of the subject matter.

The Big World Map - good for 3v3s and 5v5. Can be used in diplo games. Good geographic accuracy.

I'd like to ask all of the people who voted for World Nations 2012 for a 4 player FFA - what were you thinking?

It's inaccurate, unbalanced, and not even made for these sorts of games. It was made for diplomacy, and it's not even good for that.

I'm not trying to take the piss, I'm just trying to find out what people see in this map.

the problem I have with big world is it would probably be a good map for RP games (obviously not strategic), but the overlapping bonuses are very annoying in diplomacy.

World Nations 2012. Would make a good diplo map, and would be tons of fun with the local deployments option enabled.
