Perfect plantation? They were too small to plant anything. By the way, Inner South Wales has metals and mining goodies, so that should count for something.

From Wikipedia:

"The sugar cane plant was the main crop produced on the numerous plantations throughout the Caribbean through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, as almost every island was covered with sugar plantations and sugar mills for refining the cane for its sweet properties."

They may have had metals in Australia, but the infrastructure just wasn't there at this point. The settlers had barely been there for a year.

Yes, collectively, the islands were important. But assigning 6 for each? That makes it more than London.

Holy crud, your maps are amazing Zcxtycxz!
But why do you put so many armies on each territory?
Edit: I just read your comment on unbalancing. I think a Local Deployment game would be very interesting indeed! May I please test your map?

I'd love to test!

The reason they're worth more than London is because bonuses of European territories are capped at 20.

Ooooh, Pick Me!

meeeeeeeee

Russian tsar(ina) at this time: Yekaterina II. Also, they had the Aleutian Islands, some of the southern mainland, Kodiak island and Prince of Wales Island. Look for a map for further detail.

Oh okay.

Seville -> Sevilla

Or are you insisting on these Englishised names this time? Then it would be Catherine II of Russia.

Also, Portugal had Timor (all of it) all the way to Flores (all of it).

Yeah, I thought I'd try and make this map in English.

Martinigue -> Martinique

this map is realistic but hati which was the most valuable colony in the world should be worth more

Good work yet again. I would wish to test. :)

Well, I've read the posts. Consider lowering the Spanish income in the future (I assume you will add the rest of the Americas) because they also had a lot of colonies at the time very valuables (even more then some of their lands at Europe). Maybe you should add the northern Africa to the european cenario, because of the Ottoman Empire that could create another major power in Europe (there's also the hole egyptian campaign that happened, having some direct links between european islands to reach it would be great).

Also, there's another change you could do, put more provinces on the european map. I know that it would mean a lot of work, but it would fix the high income per province issue. If you triple/quadruple the ammount of provinces, you can also make a better division of the income per province and also add a more combat and defensiveness on europe. There is only one province between Paris and London for example, it makes the combat very static with not a lot of land protection between the capitals. Imagine the French player stockpiles for 2 turns and then moves the army to Calais? He can then declare and take the most valuable British provinces before a defense is up.

Anyway, great work dude! Keep working and it will be awesome. Put me on the test game as soon as this is ready.

TeamGuns, I don't see how I can really make the European map bigger, because the Inkscape file is already using the maximum dimensions.

victortg, I can raise it by 1, but I've set a cap on European colonies at 9

I'd love to help testing. Sounds like a good map =)

I would love to test!
