It's a dependency of the UK, so it's actually part of the Union in the same way England is, for example. I may make it part the UK though, because the game would run better like that, I think.

I saw the map, I like it. When it comes to WWI maps, the one thing we lack (even though we have like 7) is that only one or two have detail. This map has good detail for a map of the world, and I believe it will be the only world map of WWI with detail.

P.S. ; Don't forget to make a WWI 1914 and 1917 distribution mode when making the map.

Looks pretty good, but there are some few minor mistakes with some of the names of bonuses in Canada.

1. It wasn't called the Domain of Canada. It was the Dominion of Canada
2. Nunavat is spelled Nunavut, and that didn't exist as a territory until 1999. It should be part of the North West territories.
3. Northwestern territories should be called the Northwest Territories.

So, this isn't "diplomacy" bonus setup, is it?

Yeah, I'll try to create scenarios for different points of WW1. As for the Canada bonus names, I corrected it from saying "Domain" to "Dominion" a while ago, but thanks for telling me about the other two things, because I wouldn't have noticed otherwise. By the way, I can't send the latest map at the moment, because I'm using the mobile version, but I'll send it to you tomorrow. It's just South America to go.

Western Katanga is missing from the Belgium super bonus. Also, some of the north Russian islands should be merged (to make it more realistic- the east north Russian islands were not as wealthy as a third of France). A lot of the sea connections are very confusing or not shown. Perhaps it would be better if it is just one line instead of many lines for the different empires. Here is a quote from 'Map Guidelines' in the Wiki: Minimize long connections or drastically uneven territory size. Finally, the super bonuses are valued too high- they should be around 1 per bonus. It would be silly if Canada steamrolled the USA just because they finished the super bonus a couple of turns earlier. Perhaps use Issander's huge world's value method.

Those bonus values probably won't be the final ones, I was considering doing it proportional to GDP or something. But I'd agree with you about the sea lines, they are bit over-the-top, I'll see what I can do to fix that.

Here's a alternative way of doing it that one of the developers thought of - http://warlight.net/SinglePlayer?PreviewMap=31614

Nova Zhemlya in Russia is not an Island but a group of 2 islands
you splitted it in 2 piece called north " and south " but actually the northeren part is called the Island of Severny and the Southern part is called the Island of Juzhny.

Also Finland has modern borders on this map, but that can't be possible because these modern borders are shaped after World war 2 (not before)

German Cameroun had territory under spanish equatorial Africa. A part of northern Gabon and French congo should be added to German Cameroun.

edit= Takimski and Tukarak are not part of Québec or Ontario but are part of North West territories. Still they're part of Nunavut today.

The Southern Island in the Alexander Archipelago in Alaska is unnamed

Bear Island is not connected with "Southern" Nova Zhemlya

There is no line between French Somaliland and Mahe. There is no connection between Danish Antilles and British Virgin Islands although there looks like there should be. Great Nicobar and Kandy are not connected (Sri Lanka to Indonesia). Southern China does not connect to French Indochina or parts of Vietnam. Badakhshan is missing connections (Afghanistan). Helmand does not connect to Ghor (Afghanistan).

Then and now, borders are often based along rivers and mountain ranges, rather than just "lines in the sand," so to speak. Finland's border hasn't really changed enough to be noticeable on a map of this scale. I've dealt with the other problems now. I'm going to run a final test game before it goes public, so we don't have worry about the connections too much, as they'll be picked up then.

I tried to make it public, but it was rejected due to some of the territories being too small.

Here're two screenshots from the map. There places, such as the top image, that I know I need to fix, but is the bottom image okay?

That rings a bell, I can't quite remember how to do it. Could you refresh me?

1) Make a circle
2) Place the circle over the territory
If your territory is next to other territories, then do step 3 . If not, skip to step 4
3) a) Copy your circle
b) Click the circle, hold down shift and then click the neighboring territories your circle's border overlaps with.
c)Click the Path button in the menu panel, then click "difference". The circle should now be gone, along with a hole in the neighboring territory.
d) Re-paste the circle over the cut-out shape and territory you want to make bigger.
4) a)Click the territory, then hold down the shift button and click the circle
b)Click the Path button in the menu panel, then click "Union"

note: if multiple territories are too small you may end up having to merge a couple together.

Also, not to be rude, but your territorial distributions of America are a little off. But I'm guessing by your picture you are British, which makes sense. I could help you rename and redraw some places.

I used a US state map to do the USA, so I hope there aren't too many that are wrong. Anyway, you can help rename them. Which ones are wrong?

You have much missing links, Orange state in SA doesn't even link with its 3 neighbouring territories

The states aren't exactly wrong, but the way some of them are divided and named are bland and uncommon.
