I love giant maps. Thank you for the hard work and incredible attention to detail that went into making this one.
One issue - the county superbonuses don't always make sense. They generally swing between being worth 1 army for every 3 territories all the way to 1 army for 5 territories. That's a pretty big discrepancy. In an extreme cases, Allegheny County, players get only 2 armies for controlling a superbonus of 67 territories. That doesn't make much sense to me.
EDIT 2-5-16
As for superbonuses, I generally favor establishing a common ratio of territories to bonus armies, much as with normal bonuses, just lesser in value. Anything between a 1:4 to a 1:10 bonus tends to work nicely, depending on the map.

The reasoning behind the superbonuses is to make it so that, when combined with the territories within, it would equal the amount of territories. So because there a lot of territories in Allegheny County (67 as you said), many with bonuses or just 1 or 2, that led to a total of 65 for the county, which is why the superbonus is only 2.
I'll admit, for some of the superbonuses this may be a little unfair and illogical. So what do you think would be a good total for the superbonus?

Takes forever, but quite fun. Allows border skirmishes that actually mean something with large battle fronts, you have to pay attention to your entire line of defense/offense.

Mixed feelings on this one. It's gigantic and basically requires good picks and diplomacy. Lots of diplomacy :).

I think the map is cool, but some of the bonuses are kind of confusing.

Good map, especially for multiple teams and/or very large groups.
Takes a long time to get to the end though. Just with the size of the map it takes a while. I just did a 4 player FFA and it took 51 turns. So keep that in mind.

Bonuses are so unfair that only two people have a chance of winning.

The map is excruciatingly long. Way too many unnecessary tiny territories, and what's the point of all those little circles within each territory? As a general rule I look at how many turns it takes me to finish a map once it's clear that I've won, and how many movements I have to make in each remaining turn. If it's too many of either it gets boring and annoying.

I love large maps, just know that there are lots of connections that look like they should connect and don't, and a couple that connect but look like they shouldn't, but the ones that look like they should connect but don't happened so often i didn't bother taking note (it's the "city/town" circles).
Other than the connection issues it was a fun map

Map is effectively unwinnable because of a territory in Doylestown that cannot be attacked. If not for that, an excellent map.

The map is too damn big. You need at least 10 people to make this map worthwhile.
