Hey everyone
I guess hardly someone know me but I'm
making kinda continuation of Paris-St.Peterburg
(*satiesfied that my 1st map was even nominated for map of the week*)
By the way -sorry if my english isn't that good -

Soon I'm presenting the new expanded map of hopefully better quality.
The work is still in progress, but territories and their names are already complete.
Here's the link: https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=44810

Maybe you have some suggestions for improvement,critics and so on.

Holy...this is amazing!

My only objection is how black France, Italy and Britain and Spain and Russia are, and the Latin strategic territories

very good work! you even added Iparralde :) and I like how you respected the historical and regional names (particularly in France).

I know some Spaniards who would be disappointed to not have their country entirely though.

Looks great, though I think maybe the colors on bonuses should be less pale, it's hard to look at.

I cannot link the cities to the big map. please name the maps so that we could.
otherwise, I disagree with OnlyThePie mostly and like the map.

Yeah, I guess. But unfortunately, the map is at its maximum size otherwise shrinking it would make it difficult to fit the armies in the circle-like territories.

If I understand you correctly you mean the naming like in the case of London, right? If so, I still manage to use as less dots as possible.

And there's Chinese who were disappointed they weren't featured at all in the India map. And Americans and Polish, too. You're always going to end up upsetting somebody, even in a world map, so nationalism changing your map - out the window.

*A wild Spaniard appeared*

Ok if you don't want to include all Spain. Ok if you don't want to include Madrid. But damn, "Catalan countries" when Valencia isn't Catalan, but at any case Valencian on its own? "Franja d'Aragó", is it really needed such a narrow territory? "Iberian East" when the only country there is Spain? I don't know, but this map seems somewhat biased.

Anyway thanks for your work, it must have been hard.

Oh yeah that's a good one :) and thanks, the researches where pretty extensive but worth.

But, I'm sorry if this 'representation' is making here and there an odd impression.
Well, the "Franja" is thought as a strategical North-South-connection/West-East-separation.
The decission for "Iberian East" is based on the incompleteness of Spain(the appropriate capital isn't included)
in combination with the Principality of Andorra.
(Due to the SVG-limit - Otherwise the map name would have become Madrid-Moskva)
Of course, the Valencia-CatalanC. thing can be fixed till the publication.

This map looks GREAT! I love having cities in Diplo games. And this map has a lot.

My only suggestion would be to make countries a certain color. EX: All of Britain's bonuses be blue so that all of the territories are outlined in blue color.

Edit: Also maybe put the cities with the Super country bonus. EX: the city of London is not in the GreatBritianAndIsles bonus

Here's the current upload: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=44998
Connections and bonus colouring - now all 362 are shown with a bit recolouring - are done.
I was also able to add some planned decorations - unfortunately the cities coat of arms and geographic/aquatic nominations still can't be shown due to the file size limit (ultimate maximum nearly reached I guess).
(The Spain-related issues won't be forget)

Oh already, done. maybe these transitional colours are ok ,too.
An affiliation of the cities is a good question. In the upcoming tests (soon testers will be needed) it should work out, how the balance is the best.

Hmm maybe i'll give an example (https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=38883).

Your Germany is many different colors: Purple Green Blue Brown but in that one Germany (The Holy Roman Empire) is all some sort of black or grey so you can tell it apart from neighboring countries.

so all of your countries don't have to all have their own unique color but their shouldn't be two red countries next to each other.

Also you don't have to do this but a lot of people have Country pride and want their country to be a color. Like Netherlands is orange. You can get an idea on what the colors are by looking at other Europe Maps

Reminds me of Paris-St. Petersburg.

The strategic bonuses I don't understand why they are implemented, and make each country a different colored bonus. Very nice idea.

Maybe because it's his map, too.

And about the Spanish issues, I think I got what you wanted to do, I will respect your decisions. And a suggestion to replace the "Catalan countries", it could be called "Catalan-speaking regions" or "Catalan-speaking Spain" as the Rousillon isn't included, for example, and saying Catalan-speaking instead of Catalan might reduce Valencia's issue. Thanks for listening me :)

Thanks for your understanding
By the way nice suggestions to realize.
I for example thought of CatalanValencianSpain/East but "Catalan-speaking Spain" even better roll off the tongue.

The strategic bonuses I don't understand why they are implemented..

Guessing you mean the ones in the "background":
The latin strategic bonuses should be some kind of checkpoint stretching over the superbonus areas.
In the cities - depending on their size - the additional bonuses should make it more complex to conquer them.
The traditional/historical bonuses (like Brabant-Limburg) will be mainly relevant for some distribution modes I'm going to make.
In the last two cases their value ranges between 1 and 2.
