Please don't divide The Netherlands into city names :S
I would suggest to name the northern part Fryslân instead of Amsterdam, make a new western territory and call it Holland. Name the southern part. Southern Netherlands.
For someone from Limburg it is offensive to call my province something like Zeeland or Rotterdam.

For someone from Groningen it's offensive to be called a Frisian. So you will nearly always have problems with that. I agree that it's better if those territory's were not named after city's though.

I suggest to keep 2 territory's and name then Northern Netherlands and Southern Netherlands, but if every other territory is named after a big city within that region then I would keep those names (Amsterdam, Rotterdam).

Also, will the map be named 'Penguins' when published or will it have an other name?

Have you contacted Fizzer about using these bonuses?

I think what the Belgian Gentleman has done with Netherlands is pretty good. The two main towns, plus some unimportant islands. 3 territories is more than usual, Wilhelm, you better be thankful.

Historically Groningen was part of frisian...

Both Northern Netherlands/Southern Netherlands or Frisia/Brabant would be fine with me but not cities because Belgium is called flanders and wallonia.

If Rockall is worth its own territory, then why don't you have the oceans completely covered with lots of small islands and islets? Or how about oil rigs or platforms out at sea? Sealand could get its own territory if Rockall does, at least someone actually lives there.

Agree, except they do have the oceans completely covered with lots of small islands and islets. Sealand is on the map.

Also, every Dutch here, stop being ridiculous. The two biggest and most important towns are unarguably Amsterdam and Rotterdam, dividing it into regions would be nice, about North Holland and South Holland then?

Holland isn't that big. Just keep it like that. Frisia,Amsterdam,Rotterdam for continental Netherlands.

You're greatful Жұқтыру. Bering strait islands renamed and st Lawrence Island moved to the eastern side, all thanks to you!

To my opinion, I think I shouldn't contact fizzer. If this map will be published then think about the boost in popularity that Warlight gains due the many diplomacy games.

Just saying, if you spend all this time only to be declined, will leave you pretty outraged. These bonuses are different and don't meet normal map requirements. Its better to be safe than sorry.

If that scenario happens then I better start a petition. This map had costed me already loads of work.

zxctycxz has a world map this big which was declined, so it can happen.
the bonuses are pretty weird and i honestly dont understand them, and if someone can't understand them without reading some instructions, then the map probably wont be accepted.

I don't really understand what anybody is talking about. The boni are easy to see what they mean, they are just hard to see.

"Boni"

I'm not sure that's really the plural of bonus :P

Maybe digit numbers will do, also I still need to find out a name that can replace 'penguins' as title of the map.

@Xedrox: because the metropolitan areas surrounding cities like Paris, Moscow, and Rio are massive. The DC metro area just isn't as big, and is dwarfed by the size of Maryland and Northern Virginia.

Huh. Rio is not the capital of Brazil :p

@Zephyrum: I know, it's just a large city.

excited to know reason behind those holes... ;)

why did you go that far back in the forms? ^^^^

This is really nit-picky, but as a native Michigander, I can tell you that Lansing should be Saginaw or Flint, and Traverse City should be some small city up there, probably Cheboygan

The bonuses doesn't look weird to me, they look like they are set by country borders, nothing odd I can see about them.
