Yes, this is the name of a map I'm making.
https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=40802

I've only made the first 7 bonuses so far, so you get an idea of what the map would be like. I might scrap it if everyone thinks its a map that's not worth making, but if you have any ideas for things you don't like in WarLight maps, please say what they are and I might be able to adjust the plan I have for the map.

Was really hoping for a tutorial.

It did '[Map]' in the title of this thread to make it clear this was about a map and not a tutorial.

You are a great map maker, why waste your time on purposely making a garbage map?

Hey people. I'm making my first map and forgot to add an ID to one of my bonuses before uploading it to the map developer. Is there a way I can fix it without having to redo all the connections and bonuses I've done so far.

I think I saw an island chain in there. Definitely include that - island territories and island chains definitely kill any aesthetic quality for the map (they often can have very confusing connections as well!)

Be sure to include a few territories that are single-territory bonuses of more than 1. Because yes.

Click "Upload New SVG" on the map editor page and upload the new map. If you have the same Territory IDs, all of the bonuses and connections will be saved. :)

(If you want to be on the safe side, then click "Duplicate Selected Version" before doing this, which is on the page that asks you to select a version)

Don't forget to include a connection or two not indicated anywhere!

Also add some territories that aren't connected to anything with huge bonuses. And add connections that don't actually connect.

I think you should make the territories larger so the numbers look really small and put the bonus links off to the side somewhere

Make sure you include overlapping territories, wobbly border, bad names (using the same name) and copying another map.

Include ridiculous bonus values, too.

You forgot about not including BonusLink to hide the bonuses!

Especially when they are negative, of course.

Also, make territories too small so they don't contain the number!

Also, the opposite, something that doesn't look like a territory but is one.
