Good map idea! Looks promising indeed. Putting them into bonuses first would have been a whole lot easier, adding industry bonuses after that would have worked best.

You better change Aland to Åland, but despite that, the map looks good!

Looks great, you also thought about cities? I'm guessing it's more affects the war

Martyrose I'll fix that right away.

Elroi, what do you mean? I am including all major cities, but I do know some maps have major cities off to the side to fully flesh them out. I suppose that would be really cool for the battles/sieges that took place during the war. For example Stalingrad.

Since I am having trouble explaining this concept. The map A Tale of Four Cities by zxctycxz does this very well. The only concern I have is, is there enough room and will it work stylistically.

I personally detest the greatened borough idea. But if you are going to do it, do Smolensk, Moskau, Stalingrad and Kursk. 4 most important battles in Operation Barbossa.

I've decided to add the flags of each nation on the map. However, I do know the historical German flag of the period is a touchy area. I would like to keep it for historical accuracy, but I am not so stubborn to ignored other's opinions.

Please, tell me what you think about adding in flags, especially Germany's.

well my friend, great work with the map.i wait to play it.since i am romanian , i need to tell you something about the map (especialy about the romanian land ) .The territory is well made, a lillte bit strange in west (Timisoara area ) .I've looked for names of the regions and i see that you have documented good, but still are some mistakes (if you want to make the names well.) here are some of them : Medjidia- Medgidia ; Geurgiu - Giurgiu ; Piteste ( lol, if you translate in english means hide ) - Pitesti; Trajan - Traian ; Jazzy ( i don't like the name )-Iasi ; Smala -Sinaia (near Targoviste if you don't find ) Carancebes - Caransebes . This is want i had to tell. If i will fing other mistakes i will tell you.

In Hungary you used German region names instead of the Hungarian names: Steinamanger --> Szombathely
and a couple others i don't know the Hungarian versions of.

And some spelling mistakes too: Dedrecen --> Debrecen

I think you should keep the Nazi German flag. Many folk here are named Adolf Hitler; the hammer and sickle flag is banned in Hungary, probably the American flag is banned in the Levant. You'll end up offending somebody at some point, just go through with it for historical accuracy. Also, Blous, I think that was intentional. All Russian names and Estonian names are in German, too.

Added some Soviet territories to show just how far the map will go. As of right now, it will go up and slightly past the Urals. However, there isn't much there besides industry, so once I map out those I'll basically just use the Siberian Rail line to reconnect the cluster back to Western Russia.

Sverdlovsk -> Swerdlovsk

Also, the difference is miniscule, but you're using the wrong Soviet flag (1955-1980). The one at this time had a longer scythe.

Hopefully I corrected the issue and now the correct flag is up for the Soviet Union. Please let me know if it isn't. Also Desert Fox, the link you provided was broken, but I added the Romanian military flag I think you were referring to next to the national one. Is that what you meant? I'll get around to changing names a bit later, thanks for letting me know!

I think it should be German-occupied rather than German Occupied for Denmark.

And unless you're talking about the language, the word Czech is only an adjective, so I think the bonus called German Occupied Czech to Protectorate of Moravia or something.

Protectorate of Moravia and bohemia. The Sudetenland was annexed directly to the Reich, but as you say it is slightly different from occupation.

Thanks. Most likely going to just call the entire bonus German Protectorate of Moravia and Bohemia for simplicity sake.

Looking further into the matter, it would appear that Denmark was largely cooperative and thus a protectorate with extensive autonomy. I'll have to change the bonus as well.

Since I'm Hungarian, I could help you out with the list of the Hungarian city names, where you've used German. Since it would be kind of long, I'd send that to you rather PM.

^The German was on purpose.

The flag is good Rommel. and with that, you have gived me an idea. While under the Nation's flag ( or civil flag ) you added industrial and school bonuses, you can make a military flag of the contry and put bonuses for the armies ( well, if you have enough space on the map :))

(crappy link ).The flag is indeed good.

I definitely understand where you are coming from Konakona, but I think you do not realize something.

The industry included isn't the civilian industry, it is military for aeroplane/tank/small-arms production. While the dry-docks are included to represent capability to repair & build military ships. As for the schools, they are solely military focused. Lastly, the resources all contribute to the war effort in some regard.

What you are saying would make sense if I was detailing civilian aspects of the nations I am working with, but as of right now it wouldn't fit! However, I really appreciate the input, thanks.
