very nice work, thank you!

This map is one of my favourites. There are lots of strategic mountain passes that make you think about where to spread. First wraparound I actually liked (playing mp with it and its going good).

Thank you. It was fun to draw it.

Not sure if this is pertinent to this map only, or generally, but fooling around with some games on the map yesterday and I would up with identical province names. Making matters worse they were one province away from each other It was something like Cecevic Highlands (if the name matters at all).

Otherwise a very nicely done map

Hi Licker:

I only named a few provinces manually on this map. Otherwise, I relied on the software's random name giving thingie. It seems to have a limited number of names, and so, there are duplicates.

I avoided this on the Bering map by naming each province manually.

Ok, thanks for the answer, if it bothers me too much I guess I'll just have to name them all myself

I think i can handle one duplicate, but much more than that and it'll get too confusing.

Hi:

I am thinking of redoing this map for a different look and better balance. Any suggestions on the number of players it should be designed for? Also, should it be designed for land & water nations or just land nations?

I dunno about most of those questions, but I think you should definitely leave room for some water nations, since its very difficult to find maps of this size w/enough water.

[PashaDawg]

Thanks. That's helpful. Maybe 10 land nations and 2 water nations.

Oh yes please! Yes yes yes. 12 nations would be very nice!
