I've heard of a Dutch friend that groningen is half under NAP

i've heard of a dutch friend that groningen is half beneath NAP

The above/below NAP bonus was added because Moros wanted another level of bonuses for the Netherlands. For Belgium there is the very natural division into Flanders and Walloon, but no such division exists for the Netherlands.

The idea was to divide our twelve provinces into two groups, preferably six each, with approximately the same number of territories and both subgroups being contiguous (so not having North Holland and Limburg in the one group and Gelderland and Noord Brabant in the other). This turned out to be far from trivial but eventually we found something workable.

Only after the division was made did we even start thinking about what to call them. The above/below NAP names are not fully correct; what happened is that those names were given to the bonuses after they were formed, it's not the case the bonuses were named and then had the corresponding territories assigned to them.

The most important reasons for choosing these names are "they need *a* name", "the names are mostly correct", "it's really a "typically Dutch" name, fitting with the theme of the map".

parts of Groningen are indeed under NAP also half Utrecht is under NAP and only half of Zeeland is under NAP. So he would have to change a lot. I think he just can put Groningen in the "above NAP" bonus and than leave it like it is.

Maybe I should just call the bonuses Eastern and Western Netherlands. Or Coastal-Inland.

I like the above/below NAP names. And it is not very likely that non dutch people know what NAP mean anyway.

Aww, I really liked those names. :(

Maybe "Above/below sea level" would be a better (clearer) name?

Four small things:

- For people not keeping the tab open: http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx?PreviewMap=7555
- I really like how Bonaire (no stupid spellchecker, I did not mean "bonfire"...) has a connection line going all the way through Zeeland, but actually going to Antwerp.
- There's a tiny island to the West of Moerdijk which is currently not a part of any territory (I'm not talking about the Easter egg, that's much farther to the Northwest).
- The anchor in Brussels is rotated on its side.

i think the yellow line connects to the wrong harbour in Antwerpen. It leads to the [Koninklijke Liberty Yacht Club](http://www.klyc.be/) instead of the actual industrial harbour.

The tiny island doesn't appear to be part of Moerwijk or Oostflakkee. So is suppose that makes it even weirder than the weird island because it is part of neither Noord-Brabant nor Zuid-Holland.

* The weird island is something I forgot to add to a territory. I believe it was mentioned before.
* I will soon fix the anchor.
* Sewerrat, do you perhaps know of any military part of the harbour? If not, any touristic part that sends cruises to the Caribbean? And any of those in Rotterdam?

Missing connection: Zuidhorn - Kollumerland en Nieuwkruisland. (Groningen & Friesland)

Fixed.

Another missing connection: Stein - Meerssen (limburg).

Also Unnamed - Unnamed (South-grevenmacher)aren`t connected.
(that means that I have found 8 missing connections so far, so I hope I`m one of the first who can test the map :)

I fixed those in Limburg, but couldn't find the ones in Grevenmacher.
I have now named them, so you could point out where they are.

After some googling i found the Antwerp Maritme Acadamy: http://www.hzs.be/html_EN/ligging_kaart.html
But I don't think it is a military academy.

The 2 frigates of belgium are stationed in Zeebrugge:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_frigate_Louise-Marie_(F931)

The Dutch marine has as main base Den Helder.

I found a [Cruise Terminal in Rotterdam](http://maps.google.nl/maps?hl=nl&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1680&bih=959&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=cruise+terminal+rotterdam&fb=1&gl=nl&hq=cruise+terminal+rotterdam&hnear=cruise+terminal+rotterdam&cid=0,0,9144187541047928462&ei=wiGQT8yDLsydOvj9sYcE&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&ved=0CBYQ_BI), but i couldn't find anything like it in Antwerp.

I meant Bous-Lenningen. (I think they should be connected. You can see the connection when you zoom in a bit)

Now I see, thanks.

The next province to be drawn is West-Vlaanderen, I hope to finish it tomorrow, or else in the weekend.

Moros, just curious, what grade did you get on your last geography test? :D

Not a very good one :( A 4,6 (F in USA and UK)
But that test wasn't about questions like: "What's the capitol of Botswana", but about people's culture. For topography tests I always got 8's (A-)

Connection Woudenberg - Barneveld. You also may have to zoom in a bit.
(Utrecht & Gelderland)
