Actually i don't see any sense why Greenland is there.

it is there in reality.

May I suggest a bonus for the whole Russia?
It could be interesting also thinking about one bonus for all Lybia, one for Algeria and one for Turkey...

i dont like greenland as a territory. perhaps this is what you mean too. i made it a shaded gray region that is seen but cant be played on...it's hard to ignore it completely if it is there.

ok hugo. russia (bc it's so big) and turkey (for fatih & saladin) were going to get one eventually. lybia and algeria getting one is fine.

the reason i didnt: for appearances' sake (to glance at the map and see it has 75 bonuses can mislead people into assuming the map's strategy is different than what it is, if 15 of the bonuses are super bonuses).

This makes it far easier for people who do like superbonuses to give them a higher value...? Also, it's not just one additional army, often it will also give you a much more defendable border.

@General Arun {Warlighter}

Because that's what he used to be called; check [his profile](http://warlight.net/Profile.aspx?p=943909819), he changes names relatively often.

@i-like-swords
|> You've named more than one territory Desert.

There's also two "Oil Refinery Pirates", could you maybe rename one of them as well, or add (kinda lame...) North and South suffixes if all else fails?

@Evreux
|> -Should I enlarge the map south, to include all of Africa?

My screen is width is greater than it's height, so for "fitting on screen" purposes, the current proportions of the map are quite nice. Additionally, if you expand further to the South, you'll get empty areas in the lower left and (especially) lower right corner of the map; that's wasted space and a pity if you ask me.

You have a "Shia" transnational bonus. I don't know much about Islamic regions, but wouldn't it make sense to add a "Sunni" transnational bonus as well?

Thanks. I've been meaning to change the pirate's name, but always put it off until later.

Sunni bonus: The map was originally 'the Greater Middle East and Europe' and everything not Europe, Shia and obviously not Muslim (Russia, China, India, etc.) on the original version was Sunni. I'll add that.

You could make the "big" bonuses worth 0, so unless it is changed in the settings they won't appear.

the main reason for having the big bonuses: so the areas can be highlighted.

i would delete them entirely before i make them all worth 0. no highlighting, no purpose.

You should make Corsica part of the West Europe Bonus as it is a French Territory

consider west europe somewhat of a charlemagne bonus and central mediterranean as a historically italian region and i think it'll be alright. not everything is based on politics. i separated them based on geography and history.

Yes, that makes sense

I just said that because you made the Canary Islands part of Spain instead of Africa

well, after adding new territories, a political division became the more playable option.

is there anything i should fix? i'm planning to make this map public in a day or so.

Any Reason why Morocco isn't in African Union-Bonus?

because Morocco left due to the union recognizing western Sahara as a a separate nation

and also allowing western Sahara to join the union

There's a weird, dark-gray and unselectable "territory" Northeast of Jammu & Kashmir. Is that an error, or is that intentional? In the last case, it would be nice if you could make it more clear it's not an error.

the dark ominous territory is the seed of evil...

or...mountains. disputed territory. to fit an army's number i have to enlarge it. that area is messy. map sizing differs. each map seems to have slightly different borders for that area.

i've been playing around with that spot a lot. i'd like to make it a non-bonus territory called disputed land. but my patience wears thin and i just end up leaving it be until the next time i play the map making game of hour-long clicking on little squares.

this thread is dead. i changed the name of the map and the preview map.
