Map guidelines
This section lists general guidelines that make exceptional maps. For a list of the requirements that a map must pass to be approved, see the map requirements.
Border overlap
It is recommended that the borders of territories in the same bonus overlap, whereas the borders of territories in different bonuses should be adjacent.
For example, take a look at part of South Africa in Grundie's Earth map:
Connection Lines
If you wish for two territories to connect, but they aren't physically touching each other on the map, it's necessary to include a line on the map so that players can easily see that they're connected.
No Tiny Territories
All territories must be big enough to completely fit a single-digit army number, at a minimum. Preferably, territories should be big enough to fit a three-digit army number with a little space around each digit.
