I hope you like it!

@skunk: quality, not quantity please. Good thing you improved your mapmaking skill, but you still stick to make maps most likely nobody will play, because the concept is bad

These maps are top quality, just because there not big, doesn't mean there not good.

I would not make a map if I did not think people would play it.

Just check out Continents. Visually pleasing and good to play.

I'm not sure where you got that idea from... It needs doesn't need to be big but it needs to be at least a certain amount of territories. There is no strategic value in a 6 province map where each province has its own bonus. How does is it good to play? Plus the borders on the map are realy overworked and hence messy. Please stop choosing quantity and try to make maps with at least 70 territories. Believe it or not, not every game is a lottery.

I agree. I can tell you %100 I will never play that map skunk. 6 territories? No Strategic value. Even if I ignore that, why does Oceanic connect to North Americia (long distance) and yet Asia and North America do not connect? Also, no Antarctica? That is actually a continent BTW.

OKay, I will post mine in hopes nobody steals my idea. This one is an attempt at a more artistic one, but I will try and make it strategic:

https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41274

Basically, it a local ski area I go to pretty often (the top of this is the continental divide in USA). Each territory is a ski run. I still have another 20 or so 'runs' to add on there. Then I will add the chair lifts, which will simply be short cuts between the top and bottoms of certain runs (so connections only, the lifts will just be a graphic to show the connection). Then I will fill in the remaining black area with terrain. I have not decided yet how to group them into bonuses either, that will need some play testing.

Anyway, I think it will be a cool map, I have not seen one done of a ski area.

This is the image I am working from BTW: http://www.slopequest.com/gallery/uploads/audrey_67.jpg

@Poseidonas, i'll invite you to the test maps once they are prepared (don't expect them to be made for quite some time)

If anyone else wants to be invited to the test maps (of a large and detailed Westeros map) then speak up now because you can't put 'open seats' on test maps

Egypt, but I am ignoring all of the borders in real life, on that way you don't have really big countries in the south and very small countries near the Nile.

https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=40811

Has anyone got any tips on making a complicated flag in a nice way? In this case Egypt.

Bonuses will probably be something like this: 'Ice cream flavors', 'Islands in the East sea' and 'Pets'
Territory's will probably be something like this: 'Claim of Choclate Ice Cream', 'Claim of cats' and 'Claim of The Åland Islands'

Also, the map is in a pretty early stage at the moment, it will become more attractive.

I'm currently working on making complicated flags for this map: https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41681

I find the best way to make images with vector graphics is to trace it and use the dropper tool in inkscape to copy colors from the original image. Hope that helps.

Hmmm... lets see...

Right now, I'm working on a 538-territory map of the United States, with states being allocated territories equal to the number of electoral votes that they get. (So, basically, the Electoral College.) The territories are decided within states (mainly) based on population, with some alterations made to better suit a Warlight map.

Electoral College: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_%28United_States%29
Map Preview (I'm done up to PA/MD now): https://www.warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=41865

(Side note: While there is a map based off of the Electoral College in Warlight, it's one of the worst in terms of bonus balance. I'm aiming for a decently balanced map that'd work for big battles.
Link: https://www.warlight.net/Map/6930-Electoral-College-United-States )

Second Note: I have no intention of doing a map based on congressional districts. Some of those districts are really badly gerrymandered. (Look at North Carolina, for one.)

Bane, could you update your list? I'm putting Sinae to Britannia on hold to do the World in 1939 - it seemed everyone wanted me to do the latter first.

This is it by the way - https://www.warlight.net/Play?PreviewMap=41751
