I noticed that we have a big U.S. and a big Canada but not a big Mexico so I decided to make one myself. Here is what it looks like so far http://WarLight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx?PreviewMap=12735. Also any suggestions for doing Central Mexico becasue it's so small.

Okay, well I think it looks great so far!!! Keep it up!

I do think that some of the larger provinces (Sonora, Chihuahua, Tamaulipas, and Nueva Leon (maybe Coahulia)) should be divided into more than two sub-bonuses. Also, it may be a good idea to separate the inner province sub-bonuses similarly to how you would separate regular bonuses so that you can distinguish between the bonuses without necessarily clicking on the bonuslink.

As for how to make the central part, perhaps you could use an inset. Here's an example of what I'm thinking of http://WarLight.net/SinglePlayer.aspx?PreviewMap=14152 . So the numbers can go in the larger paths of the territory, but both will show up with the colour of the owner of the territory. You don't have to do this (creator's license) it's just a suggestion.

But great job!!!

Looks great so far! I second everything Bears said, if you implement what he suggested it'd be a big improvement.

Hey, I see that you have been stretching out the map again. I think it will look really ugly when it's done, and I strongly advise you to undo it. I don't think it will help to contain a few more territories, and even if it did, it's not worth it. Maybe some tiny counties would have to be merged together, but then you could simply call them Blablabla and Blabla. I don't think having a few extra territories is worth ulgifying the whole map.

increasing the map size is another alternative.

Have you listened to me/Ironheart? We told you that stretching out the map is a bad idea, and that you should rather increase the total map size, instead of making the whole thing ugly. You should do it now, before you've placed all the centerpoints. Please reply to this.

When you subdivided the bonuses, you used 'southern' and 'northern', except for the Baja bonus where you used 'sur' and 'norte.' It's not a problem, but I thought I'd point it out.

The First Link is the orignally, and the second is the new but if you think I should make the map wider let me know This is for anbody.

Matma's tools are linked from the Wiki. Just go to the mapmaking section and you'll find them, somewhere under "automating the process" or something, if memory serves.
