How will you avoid Fizzer not accepting this map due to not showing manually changed bonuses due to no real bonus boxes?

there's no such requirement that exists. In fact this method has been done before by Issander and it was approved : https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=16733

The bonuses on this map are normal rectangles.I don't see specifically tailored bonuses that look like te armies they are providing.

that's because functional bonus rectangles require a minimal size in order to fit their digit numbers respectively. Since this map has over 2000 territories it is technically impossible to put those 2000 individual bonus links in their respective place. There already has been made an alternative on this map before but that got rejected one year ago because tiny,tiny clickable bonus rectangles that do not fit their digit numbers causes the Warlight app to crash. (check first post of this thread to see that map). What I'm now planning to do is to overhaul the bonus links system and replace it with regular colored numbers within the territories.

You can't see it but they do actually provide armies. Perhaps in the future there is going to be a wall of text informing that to you each time you play on it so you'll never forget

Also the only clickable bonusses that will be put on display are going to be the country bonusses like 'Russia', 'Mali', 'Poland' , ... you get the idea and maybe capitals if it is requested

But won't that make modifications to the map by scenario makers much harder?

The second thing I can do is to add regional bonusses that are clickable and set all these bonusses at a generic '0'. The main purpose of these regional bonusses is for custom scenarios. Like for example regions like Nebraska,Bavaria,Midlands,East Germany,Pomerania,Java,...

Issander's new strategy map is wonderful even though the map doesn't contain the boundless casual bonus boxes, it is what it makes the map so beautiful as it adds innovative and essential value to the map. But back to the map-making .. new update: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=59428
as far I'm aware it is currently the map with the most bonusses in total. Not 1000 but more than 2500 bonusses are included in this map!

This map is off to go! Feel free to check out if there any missing connections on the map and report them on this thread. Tomorrow there will be a stream while this map is being tested. Testers can apply. (need 10 in total/ It's real-time / exact time tbd)

Isn't this map's purpose kind of moot since Imperator made another, prettier map that is basically this?

Imperator had my inspiration to begin with but he hasn't credited me. Also, you're the reason why I halved Belarus' income (especially on the Russian side huehue) Be proud

I believe Imperator's map(Geopolitical Earth 2016) has quite a bit less territories than this one,so it definitely has a reason for existing.Also the prettier thing is very subjective.It may have colours but the territories overlap everywhere.(not trying to hate on the map,I actually really like it)
