Hello!

"Entante owns almost the entire map from the beginning"
That is a disadvantage in LD or army cap, and the war only makes sense with theese features enabled.

"Russia lost initiate battle of Tannenberg removing much of the pressure from Germany"
Partly true. The Austrians and Hungarians would disagree about that "initiative part" thou.

"German colonies of Togoland,South West Africa fell relatively quick, Cameroons held for 14 months whilst German east Africa surrendered 9 days after 1918 armistice (difficult to balance all that)"
GDP figures are the way. Look at the colonies this way (size and population): Togoland: one province in Warlight, just 1 million inhabitants. South West Africa: large, but only 200 thousand inhabitants. Also almost no jungle or mountains. Cameroon: large, much jungle and a population of 4,6 million inhabitants. East Africa: large with mountain ranges, forests swamps and a large population of 7,7 million.

"A boer uprising occured in zuid Africa against british"
I know. It will be implemented in the same way like the Arab Rebellion and the Senussi proxies in French West Africa.

"Income will probably have to be based on the quality of the region not how wide they are (Tundra, desert- Valley,Industrial region)"
I will largely base it on GDP and population numbers.

A question from myself:
How do you think about the French-German income disparity of 7:13 ?

no US?

Oh yeah Bravo, cause the map isn't big enough as it is?

No fighting took place there, why waste the space?

How would the Russian Revolution be implemented?

Personally I really like the mechanic seen in a lot of Game of Thones maps where the White Walkers need to break through several provinces before reaching the actual map, which means that it takes a while to get it started.

As far as trenches go, I know this is late but it might work to have one or two long, narrow provinces in northern France that form a line. Since the French would only need to staff those two provinces instead of 4+, they would be much easier to defend than attack. Just a thought lol

I do not really get why the map is focused around asia so much?
I think a focus around europe, northern africa and western Asia might be better.
It will add more WWI feeling and you could exclude the wasted space in asia. This way the war (and territories) in europe can be more detailed.

Can you tell me the point in adding asia/australia into this?

How do you think about the French-German income disparity of 7:13 ?

nahhh the gap should be bigger. Germany had a way better advanced military than the French, plus it proved it to be succesfull fighting the war on two fronts and 3 big enemies; France, UK and Russia. Nevertheless the troops these supernations gathered from the colonies. Make it 5:13
Heil Kaiser Wilhelm

- Succesfull conqueror of Belgium

The Kaiser did nothing wrong

YAY THIS IS NOT DEAD! ^^ (Whait, who is the mapmaker? - YOU dumbass!)

Several updates concerning the bonuses. Still much work and i sadly have less and less time (preperation for bachelors degree will start in some months). I will continue working on it, but if someone thinks he/she can finish it earlier than 1 year from now on, just ask for the SVG...

Buggy's idea is good. The USA shipped tons of everything to the allies during it's neutrality, and saying that add it would overpower the entente is not entirely correct. There was a solid path as a neutral but important country, and it has been argued that without buying hugely from the USA, the Entente would have a very hard time facing the industrial might that backed the German Army, and that is a thought to be mindful of, since it's what motivated the German High Command to launch the unrestricted submarine Warfare following the Turnip Winter.
If the criteria for adding countries is to add countries that actively sent men to the War, Brazil could be added, but Brazil's direct contribuition to the killing was negligible. The Brazilian Navy was sent to the Mediterranean to aid in the anti-submarine warfare, but didn't arrived until the war was over. It also sent a medical core to Belgium and the Brazilian Air Force, thought I can't tell the impact of these two.
But all this can be just fine as another map, one that explore the economical aspect of the war more deeply. The map you have is very good.

Thank you. ^^

Please no problem.

Several, mainly naming, notes:

"Ruthenia" absolutely degenerate name.

White Ruthenia -> Belarus/White Russia
Polish bonus -> Królestwo Kongresowe (accents are doable, I am 100% sure of this (look at my map); I just remember that it won't seem to work at first, but once you open up map preview it is there)
Suwalki -> Suwałki
Lomza -> Łomża
Chelm -> Chełm
Piotrkow -> Piotrków
Lithuania -> Lietuva/Litva (native/Russian)
Kurland -> Kurāmō/Kurlyandia

East Novorossia goes way north of what is "Novorossia", also it literally means New Russia. and Malorossia -> Little Russia

Evpatoria (Crimea) -> Yevpatoria
Ekaterinoslav -> Yekaterinoslav

Ferghana -> Fergana

Xinjiang -> Chun-ka'-erh (Dzungaria, better name)

Jakutsk -> Yakutsk

Liege -> Liège

Pristina -> Priština

Thank you, Жұқтыру!

I will do the bonuses soon (need access to the SVG, which i have not now).

East Novorossia goes way north of what is "Novorossia", also it literally means New Russia.

- what is your suggestion for the bonus then?

Ekaterinoslav -> Yekaterinoslav

- well Wikipedia says it only had that name 1918-1926
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dnipro#Toponymy

Ekaterinoslav -> Yekaterinoslav

sometimes Russian E is written in English as E, even if it's at the beginning of the word, but it's generally bad practice. Yekaterinburg -> Екатеринбург (also begins with E). and here Екатринослав -> Yekaterinoslav.

Then in 1918-1926 the Ukrainan name was official and it probably began with Є which is more like ye.

also you likely know better than me but Stassburg -> Straßburg?

Edited 2017-08-16 13:55:25

Will you do bonuses like ''1914 Germany'', ''1915 Germany''? Like in the map ''Second World War'' ?

Strasbourg, maybe?-More french.
