Saudi Arabia is finally complete, onto Iran next! Thanks TeamGuns

Oh, nice work so far! Can't wait for the test game.

Thank you @feline, I've put in those connections now.

Awesome progress! :D

This map will be a total success. ^^ if you need help, just ask. ^^

It looks incredible. Keep going!

An Arab-Israeli war scenario would be interesting

Missing Connections in Iraq:

Wadi al Galaf and Badiyat al Sham
Baghdad andAl Wasit
Ramadi and Kubaysah
Tulayhah and Al Qaim

Thank you all, I'll add the missing connections when I next update the map which will probably see missing connections solved and half of iran put in place.

I've encountered a rather large issue, Iran is slightly skewed on the map and as such when I place on an overlay to work out province names and places, I get into an issue where the provinces will be skewed in comparison to real life. I mean they will still look fine and that, but they will be less factually accurate, now this...to me is a big problem because I've tried to hold a high degree of accuracy thus far and this would ruin that although wouldn't affect the map gameplay whatsoever and wouldn't affect the way scenarios are played out because I would skew the overlay map as well. But I don't want to do something like that without consulting you all, so what should I do.
-Skew the overlay map image as well
-Try and restart the map somehow (not very fun)

Thanks in advance

Restart is not an option. I may be hurtful, but go on. ;)

I will be continuing and I won't restart

Good call. I want to play this as soon as possible!

Anxious too here. It's actually the only map that currently makes me want to play diplomacy/scenario games right now.

Thank you very much, I'll try not to dissapoint and have it published as soon as I possibly can.

Tester here, in case you still need people. ^^

What is that purple speck in Israel?

Palestine @tchaikovsky

General, will you add America and Russia to the mix?

With special provinces giving fleets for america and armies at the caucasus/kazakhstan for russia.

At this stage I don't think I will. In theory they would be realistic however in practice they would be overpowered or underpowered and just misused. I think a map of the region only would be better here, however, for my greater Middle east map I would very much consider adding them as well as others in.

I feel like it depends. Just put default bonuses of 0 units there and let template creators choose if they want to have them or not.
