####Some thoughts

You have a couple territories with duplicates names (2x Öresund, 3x Kattegatt, 2x Skaagerak). Maybe you could go for "Öresund North" and "Öresund South" or "Öresund 1" "Öresund 2"; people playing on the map for the first time might get them mixed up when discussing strategy in chat.
Btw, I love how you used different ships for the ferry routes to Norway, Denmark, Finland and Gotland on the one hand and the freight route to Lulea on the other!

Wouldn't it make sense to draw (in dark grey) the outlines of the Baltic States as well? The lower right corner looks so... empty. Or would it hurt your Nordic / Scandinavian / Kalmarian / Viking pride to include them? ;)

####Just curious

How much inspiration did you get from Moros' maps? The connected airports really remind me of the Benelux map he's working on.

####Practical matter

Please invite me for a test, it's been far too long since I've been in Sweden. :)

RvW: I've thought that too, but I think it would sound stupid with north, south and center Kattegatt. But I maybe change it, after a bit of test games, we can check if it was irritating for the players. The different boates are maid from what kind of boats usually sails there, and at the west coast and between stockholm and Helsinki there are ferries. Those who go north are cargo-boats. :)

None. I actually had no computer availible when I thought this map out, and the airports too. It was my plan then to include known places in Sweden, but they didn't make room. I checked Moros map later, after I finished almost all drawing and saw he had airports too (and harbours).

Thanks for good response and you should really come over to Sweden! :)

Forgot to answer your second question; *Wouldn't it make sense to draw (in dark grey) the outlines of the Baltic States as well? The lower right corner looks so... empty. Or would it hurt your Nordic / Scandinavian / Kalmarian / Viking pride to include them? ;)*

Yes, I would say the only reason I haven't even thought about including them, must be my deeply hidden viking pride ;) But I may draw it (or something else instead so its not so empty)

If you prefer an alternative, maybe this is a nice inspiration: http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=2121
If you'd like to do this, keep in mind WL doesn't understand embedded images in SVG, so images have to be converted first (zoom in *really* far to see what I mean). I think I once saw some info on the Wiki how to do that, but right now I can't find it; shout if you'd like to do this and I'll help you search.

I've visited Sweden twice (2007 and 2008 if memory serves), I have great memories of both times. At the moment I can't really travel, but I'll definitely go back again!

Why should it? The baltic or parts and/or tribes of it, have already been part of the Kingdom of Denmark and the Kingdom or Sweden at various times in medieval history.

RvW: Seems like a good alternative, or some fun text, now when you say it, as on this map: http://warlight.net/Map.aspx?ID=3777
I didn't get what you meant with converting and zoom in, there wasn't anything special as far as I see.

myhandisonfire: I know, but in some way that I can't really explain, its not matching "my sight of Scandinavia".I know it sounds a bit silly, but so it is.

Going back to "reality", I need more people testing. It's mostly the distrb. modes I want to test, and I think the two most important to test is Invasion (3v3) and watch your back (3v3/2v2).

Example: ![](http://i39.tinypic.com/2a5fyao.png) (that's the head of the left eagle). It's not a normal picture, it has been converted to areas of a solid colour, but in three minutes I couldn't find how to do the convert; tell me if you're actually interested and I'll search a little more thorough.

If you just want text (like on the Hobbit map you linked) that's a lot easier, [the Wiki explains it](http://wiki.warlight.net/index.php/Creating_the_SVG#Including_Text).

I know text is a lot easier, because I have text on my map already. I'll see what I want later. It's actually not like that important. Might add it in later updates though, cause I'm planning to release many updates, like drawing the territories with straight lines, and delete or add territories. So nicelooking pictures and things like that, I can take later.

First and Second test games is off, but I'd like one more, Invasion 3vs3. 2 more people, plz?

I haven't forgot you, Ironheart. But for an 3vs3 game you need 6 players, and with you and me I've got 4 players for that. (You who already are in a test game, tell me if you wanna join a second)

You're right, Sjöbo and Eslöv don't connect. A question about this: If I want to change a map, but a test game is going on, how do I do to change that but not interrupt the game? Do you duplicate the version, and having one for testing and one for editing?

You should have switched me and you around (put us on opposite teams), then it would be the Dutchies against the rest. :p

Speaking of missing players, any idea where wigibob is (or am I just being impatient??)...?
